Need a person who can just configure Webmin so that Virtual sites can be added without having to manually edit host and conf files. This is not a very big task for someone who knows Webmin and its configuration. I can myself change things and test but would like to see it done right the first time. I know lots have seen or worked with Webmin but need someone who can honestly say they know it better than thier own mother,,,smile. I would also have future projects for the right person at the right price.
Bid Smart - The lowest bidder doesn't always get chosen, far from it. Persuade your buyer why they should pick you - and they will.
Research - If John has paid more than $500 a contract for his last 10 project, why would you think he is interested in your $10 bid? Check up on the buyer, bid what he expects, and deliver quality to match.
Read - Please read the bid request - I cannot emphasise this enough - if you do not read the bid request then you will not be chosen, this is pretty much certain. Mention the bid request specifically in your application, and don't forget to repeat the key deliverables.
Innovate - Suggest features the bidder didn't mention, talk about future extensions to the project, and discuss whether you think his or her approach is a good idea. Show interest, intellect, and willing.
