Workpost.com has two sides. There's the posting system and the directory. In the (blue) posting system, people with work to be done can post work / jobs and get responses from people interested in doing the work.

In the (green) Workpost Directory, work seekers and pros can list "services offered" and business information and choose whether or not to have have this information published in the Workpost Directory.

We created the directory last July when we realized that many (if not, most) of the people visiting the site in early 2008 were pros looking for work. The directory system is designed to connect potential clients, employers to regular people who need work done. The review system build on top of the directory is designed to give potential clients and employers a sense of pros' skills, reputations and accomplishments.

That a business is willing to be reviewed and voluntarily listed in the directory says something about a business. Beyond this, based on user positive reviews, the best, most skilled and most qualified pros with the most postive reviews should rise to the top of the Workpost Directory listings. As we get more reviews and feedback, we'll revise the system to be as useful as possible.

Our posting system will provide pros in the directory with a steady flow of leads and work that people want to have done.

Unfortunately, it's confusing when pros post "services offered" in the work posting system. The posting system we have online (as of 01/30/09) is meant to only list WORK that needs to be done and work opportunities posted by employers and potential clients; not pros and service providers who are looking for work. Pros and businesses belong in the Workpost Directory.

We realize that some pros like (and even prefer) to post quick promotional ads but until we can create a good post filtering mechanism or find some other way to sort the work posts from the "services offered" posts, we need to only allow work posts on Workpost.com

Pros. Do you really want to keep posting "services offered" day after day like on most classified sites? Posting over and over again, trying to stay at the top of the list? Maybe you do but there must be more efficient ways to get noticed. With a Workpost Directory listing, you post once and you're done.

So if you've got work to be done, go here to post work.

And if you're a work seeker looking for leads and new jobs, go here, create a pro account and include yourself in the Workpost Directory.
