Rated People dot con

[Presto]

Hi everyone, I'm new on here so thought I'd start by asking for your experiences on rated people.com? I've had nothing but grief - total waste of time. Seems the general public are still more than happy for cowboy DIY man to do it for less than half of somebody with proper qualifications like me? The only people making money are in fact ratedpeople.com - keep away I reckon!!

Worth atleast subscribing , one good job will justify

paying 30 quid to tell someone theyre clueless would severely defeat the purpose mate haha

£30.00 x 7 sparks = £210.00+VAT......then "changed-me-mind" and no jobs to do.......there's middlemen springing up everywhere from getting a job to selling your car to buying insurance......everybody wants to get between you and what you want to do and take at least a fee if not a % as well.....

 

[grantr37]

how can they justify charging what they do when they are basically just an advertising board......even dum free has ads posted on it with people looking for work to be done.....and a lot of them must have accidentally ingested questionable substances first....

 

[ste77]

yep your right if its not agencies screwing the rate down its companies advertising work...and wanting paid for it even though your not garaunteed it.
its a means to an end i suppose

To be honest I don't find it that bad , they only let 3 tradesmen buy the 1 lead fair enough 2 will be out of pocket , the amount of leads I'm sent daily is unreal 10-15 per day , my phone doesn't ring half as much daily from other advertising sources , key is to only buy the lead if your first to buy , as 90% of the jobs I buy I end up doing that day or atleast secure the job
