I consult with clients who are looking for the right outsourcing situation all the time, and the best way to get started is to figure out what kind of outsourcing partner will be the best 'fit' for your needs. After that, it's easy to find out where that type of outsourcing partner/contractor/fre...
I've always hired only ridiculously brilliant engineers and those that were either entrepreneurs or entrepreneurially minded (i.e. attended startup weekend, contributed to open source, blogged, etc). The best way to find them is to go to the events they attend. Typically it's developer meetups,...
I would suggest that web design services is going to have a very low conversion on Yelp. One of the best ways to advertise design is through Dribble, Behance and sites like it. Generally speaking, unless you've got a compelling offer that you attach to your campaign (e.g. free consultation), yo...

Sounds like you have a bad apple. Customer complaints should almost never be excused by "they should know better" and these seem like actual functional errors. I would encourage you to replace this person as soon as possible. Happy to talk this through in a quick call
Strange, I answered this question a few days ago here: https://clarity.fm/a/2890 but this seems to be a repost of the exact same question. Andrew's comments are spot-on about building a waiting list while you build your product. You want to be able to point to a meaningful uptake of customers...
Apps are difficult to fund on IndieGoGo as few are successful, and we rarely take them on as clients. Websites like http://appsfunder.com/ are made for that very reason, but again, difficult to build enough of a following willing to pay top dollar for an app that could very well be free, already ...
