Toronto here as well, but only for a few more weeks. Then I’m moving back in September. Meetup!

George, I was only in Toronto for the week… but I’m always open for helping people brainstorm ideas and building launch plans.

I would add two more to this list. First, from the seller’s perspective: send a follow up letter/email 3-6 months later. For instance, if you build a website for someone, send a follow up email to make sure everything’s working as expected.

Second, from the buyer’s perspective: show appreciation for a job well done. I’m not saying to pay them more or even refer other jobs to them, just send a thank you email letting them know you appreciate their work.

Use the little things to keep your good relationships going strong.

I’m glad we didn’t have to meet in court. : )

I had a great time with you guys and hope you enjoyed your brief stay in the city. Well, at least what you remember of it. (wink)

I think you hit it right on the head with all of these points Darius. I have never really done much work with people I haven’t actually met, but I have recently started talks with a few in regards to some potential projects. I saw this post through my RSS feeds and definitely wanted to check it out. Thanks for all the tips!

Also, just noticed that you said you were in Toronto, which is where I live. Would be cool to meet some fellows like yourself since I have started my own business and have been trying to keep it going strong for 2 years now. Anyways, let me know the scoop as to who (if any of you guys) are living in Toronto, because my buddy (also business partner) and I have been brainstorming some ideas for websites, and actually have quite a good one (we believe in it strongly at least!).

Again, so glad I came across this site, I think you boys are brilliant, and I’ve really taken away some good knowledge about being young (well, 26) and running a business. It’s always tough when you have to do just about everything (accounting/web development/sales/etc.) yourself, so when I read some of these tips from you guys, it takes some of that weight off my shoulders! ;)

Anyways, take care for now doods, you know where to reach me if need be!

The problem is location, location, location. We are all over the map. However, there a few of us that at least live on the west coast of the US.

A YGG meetup would be sweet – I’d totally be down for that.

I’ve personally been burnt 3 times already trying to work virtually with freelance programmers. I wish there was a way to really qualify freelance or outsourced designers and programmers.

Maybe there should be a YGG reunion.
