How Can I make a website that sell services like (friendrise.com)
All I know is to resell gigs from fiverr.com but I think it is not an efficient way to run such Business.
So, Can anyone help in another method to provide such services or Any services Generally.

Thanks in Advance :)
Don't use those S***** "Fivver" type clone scripts.

Don't be a cheapskate and buy or download for free a pre-made script to do it.

Hire a programmer to make the site for you. Everything will be tailored just for your needs, exactly how and what you want, without tons of extra junk/options that you don't need!

Here is the problem that I, as a programmer, face... and why I HATE IT when people buy or use these crappy pre-made scripts. 1, the person who made the script is probably an amateur. So it's probably full of security exploits, broken code, or code that is not effecient.. There is code, then there is good code. Off the bat, your site may work fine.. Give it 100+ daily users, and it may cripple your site. They probably don't have efficient database usage, ect. Effecient code uses less server/system resources. This is a huge concern when your site starts getting a lot of traffic. A great server that could handle 10k daily visitors, could cripple with only 1k daily visitors, all because of poor code.

A lot of these pre-made scripts are not managed or updated anymore. A lot of them are "Encrypted", so you can't customize or edit the source code. Which then they EXPECT me to decrypt it so I can do what I need to do.. Which can take 5 minutes, or it can take hours or days, or never! Of course, they have no idea the code is encrypted.. I always get surprised once I am in the FTP and locked into the job.

For a programmer, it sucks going over another person's code, especially when they dont comment anything, and their logic makes no logical sense. It can take a couple hours, just to fart around and get the feel of things. For major changes to the script, I play around with the code for a few hours just to understand what controls what, effects what, ect. Since I didn't make it, I don't know what does what, or where it's at, or what may break if I change a few lines of code... I have made simple changes, that break 100 files.. then its a chain reaction fixing those files.. It is just a nightmare sometimes working on other people's crap.

So as a programmer, I would much rather make a system/script for a client from the ground up. In the future, I can get back in and make changes easily and quickly because I coded it and know it like the back of my hand. There ALWAYS will be future fixes/updates that need done. I don't think I have had a client NOT need me to go back in and change or fix a few things months later. Thats just how it is!

Not all programmers know about security, so pick a good programmer to do the job! There is some Indian company a client of mine used for some board system of theirs. Not only could they not speak English worth a crap, their logic sucked and made no sense, their naming of variable/functions were full of bad grammar, random letters, ect. It was a mess. On top of that, half their code was broken and didn't work right anyways. They would fix 1 thing, and break 10 more, and it was always the clients fault.. like they were in there messing with code lmao. THEY DIDNT EVEN DO 1 THING FOR SECURITY! Not 1. They were using global variables, which is a no-no.. They were not checking or sanitizing user input.. NOTHING! I mean, Security 101... I tried to tell them and tell them, and they said "Sir, there not no holes in our code. Our programmer are the best"... So I explained exactly what and where 1, out of the many, security holes were at... They still didn't beleive me.. So I hacked their demo test site to prove it to them, sent them a screenshot.. and they shit their pants. Oh, and these goons were charging $2k for their crappy system. It was amateur, low level, 12 year old kid, crap!

So don't just pick anyone to do the job!

Onto your topic... You are wanting to start your own online business, and not piggy back off of another service such as fivver. No, fivver is not a way to run a business. It is a way to make some chump change. Working your butt off for peanuts. I wouldn't waste my time on even creating an account or posting a gig, for $5.. rather lone do a job for $5.

You need your own website, selling your own "thing", where you get 100% of the profits, and you have your OWN AFFILIATES helping push your "thing" for a %. You need to get the thing down first. Without a purpose, without a product, without a demand/need.. Then your site is worthless to begin with.

Hope something I said helps you :) lol Good luck!
