A Call to Bring Back Job Offering in WA

I know I was not so active during the past months inside WA but I just got back and talked to many awesome people here just now. I really missed this community and it's nice to chit-chat with other members again...



Anyway, while chatting, the issue about job offering here at WA was brought out. I know a lot of us got frustrated when Kyle and Carson decided to stop it. I understand why they did so because some members abused it. Unfortunately, there are still many of us who are doing things nicely and yet we can no longer offer jobs.

But, is there a chance for "jobs' here to come back?

I remember one time when I asked Kyle about this and he said that they may bring it back soon if they will see its value, but not "at the moment." Of course they are the "boss" and the decision is theirs. I personally hope however that they will bring it back. Maybe they just have to add more rules or something, for others not to abuse it.

I understand that members cannot advertise any IM related products here or membership sites of some sort. But how about article writing, video creation, web design, and other related services? Yeah we can offer those services at many other places like Odesk, Elance, etc but man, it's not that easy since the competition is very hard.

So why am I so concerned about job posting here? Is affiliate marketing not good enough?

Of course affiliate marketing is awesome but in reality, not all members here are already making enough money from affiliate marketing (we all know we have to grow the business for a long time). I myself was not able to pay my monthly fees during my first nearly a year here if not because of the services I offered. In the side of beginning members, job posting is a great help. Moreover, affiliate sales have some dry seasons and services here can cover some bills a bit. That's the reason why "WA jobs" is one of the bullet points in the pros of my WA review before.

Even for successful members, WA jobs are also helpful. Not all of us own all the time and sometimes, we have to outsource some of our tasks. Aside from getting help, we are also helping those who need some extra jobs. It's a win-win situation I guess. So instead of giving the job to other people outside WA, why not help our fellow members here by paying them to do the things we cannot do, right?

What do you think?

I know Kyle and Carson has the final say here but I just want to know the opinion of my fellow members. I hope that through our thoughts, Kyle and Carson can consider things. If you have any thoughts, please add it in the comments below...
