"I just have to thank you for your service. Truly. I cannot thank you enough. Friday afternoon I was full of panic and anxiety about a presentation on Monday for which I had no color renderings. I knew it would never sell without them.
I suddenly remembered Guru.com...Within 30 minutes, I had registered as an employer, posted a project, and requested bids. By the next morning, I had several replies.
I was able to secure a professional who completed the work within 24 hours over the weekend, and it was flawless. It allowed me to sleep this past weekend, and deliver a presentation on Monday that sold a house plan. I cannot say enough good things about your service. I am a believer!" |

| "So far I am absolutely thrilled with your service - I found you guys by accident and have had a great experience so far. My one project has grown to four with another pending. I have found an artist that is great and has really added to our original ideas - thank you for the service you offer." |

| "I just want to pass along my thanks to Guru for the great service you provide. I love the security that comes with using Guru to hire offshore professionals. Also, your customer service is exceptional. Being able to speak with a person to get answers to questions is wonderful. I spoke with a person today to get help with a question, and he was very friendly, courteous, and helpful. Thanks!" |

| "Just wanted to say how delighted I am with your service. I posted the details of my project yesterday and already have 9 replies, most of which are suitable for the job! Can't tell you how pleased I am. This project has had me scratching my head in bewilderment for ages; now it looks like it's solved!" |

| "I am totally overwhelmed by the tidal-wave response (44 first-class proposals and counting...) to my request for a bid on the political cartoon project. I deeply appreciate both the quantity and QUALITY of Guru's artists. I wish I could hire all of them--they are that good." |

| "I just got the work from a project I posted...and am very happy with how it turned out. I think this is a great service. I truly look forward to it keeping me in touch with professional people I can rely on to get jobs done with great quality and reliability." |

| "I'm using both you and another freelance website for a project. Two bits of feedback: 1) I *LOVE* your user interface. I like the way you've facilitated my need for NDAs, and the way you handle message boards with coders is much superior. 2) In the two days since posting the project, I've received nearly four times the amount of proposals on Guru.com as I've received from the other freelance site. And the quality of respondents is very high. Thanks, Guru.com, for providing such a terrific resource." |

"I wanted to personally thank you for the wonderful surprise today in the mail. I started using Guru a couple months ago and found a WONDERFUL designer from Spain. He has helped my business greatly.
I currently am one of eBay's top sellers and have promoted your site to our top seller group. Hopefully some sellers will come to your site to start branching out on their own. I plan to start a publishing company in the next few months and will be using your site for many more projects.
I hope you know what a big deal this little travel mug means to me and to know that your company appreciates a small customer like me is wonderful. I wish other online companies were as proactive as you.
You have earned my future business not only for the wonderful services you offer but also for the personal touches that mean a lot in a world of online anonymity." |

| "I am a huge advocate of the site, and I often tell people that it should be their first stop when trying to find project-based human resources. The ability to find talented people quickly for small projects at reasonable rates is key to our business success. Without it, we'd either have to raise our prices or turn away projects that would otherwise be unprofitable." |

| "Since Guru has helped me to make my writing/editing business such a success in just a year, I decided to use Guru to help me find a graphic designer for a new website I'm putting together for my business. My way of saying "thanks" for all you've done to help me make my own work such a success. Now I can share that success with another freelancer. Soon I'll be looking for another writer to add to my own freelance efforts, and you can bet I'll go back to Guru for help." |
|
| "I have found very good employers with help from Guru. Your service is great! And Guru is the best freelance site on the net I have found. Good communication, and easy to reach you if in need of help. Thank you for your good work!" |
|
| "Thanks very much for responding, and I appreciate how busy the site is. Also, your people actually respond to questions." |
|
| "I love your website. You guys really understand freelancers' needs." |
|
| "One thing I have noticed about Guru.com is that it becomes more and more efficient and user-friendly for pros and employers alike, far and beyond what any other outfit is currently doing. Guru.com creates a very productive and easy atmosphere for business. I really do find that I tend to enjoy my experience on Guru far more than on any other service of its kind." |
|
| "I'll definitely be a lifetime member of Guru.com especially when you come to our aid, even in non-related matters. You people are totally the greatest in my book!" |

"Just thought I'd drop a line to let you guys know how much I appreciate using your services. I feel kind of foolish because I was aware of Guru.com/Creative Moonlighter ever since you guys started but I never considered it as a means to generate project leads. I was very skeptical that we would lose our traditional edge which is repeat clientele and developing strong relationships with our clients. But ever since joining as a vendor 4 months ago we have developed strong client relationships and were awarded a total of 15 projects among 5 clients. That's an average of 5 projects per client within 4 months.
As a matter of fact only 1 client so far hasn't awarded us more than 1 project, and that's probably because we just completed their first project 2 days ago. I would say our client repeat rate is actually slightly higher on your website than our existing clientele.
I think it's an excellent service that you provide and well worth the cost. To generate over $8,700 within the first 4 months of joining is a great return on my money. I wish you guys continue to provide this excellent service and look forward to have an even better next four months." |

| "In just the past few months I've been actively working with Guru. I've grossed over $8000. I've looked at other freelance sites, and this one is definitely the best value for the fees charged to writers and has the biggest range of projects. This is enabling me to be a full-time freelancer as I'm picking up second and third projects from the same sources. Since you showed me how to enter billing as a new project each time, I can keep track of the second and third projects I'm getting from the same employers. The repeat business is great. I'll be glad to plug Guru anytime I have an opportunity." |
