    Should we also ask what kind of guy we want running the forum we waste a lot of our free time on?

    Yes!

    A nice interview, thanks! And yes, @FlorinMarian seems to really be a decent guy and very transparent. In fact he as well as Hazi.ro hosting are acting so well that Florin even might succeed to pull the romanian hosters reputation out of the swamp a certain romanian not-gentleman dunked it in.

    Thanks @Ole_Juul and Florin.

    @jbiloh you might need to ask for your money back…

  • Loved the interview. Kudos to Florin who is juggling so many tasks and managing to keep up. I wish you well.
    The one thing you could have avoided is the multi question discussion about 80 orders in an hour from posting on LET. Considering the heated discussions going on around this topic, that segment seems forced. It was more to make the point that Florin got orders worth 480€ with just one post. (The hidden meaning that providers can recoup the 16$/mth tag cost).

    Easily achievable indeed. Providers should be taking advantage of all the freebies available to them. Glad to see @FlorinMarian doing so.

    Hello!
    Believe me, no one forced the note with anything, but for us it was like an explosion, considering that before that no one knew us because both then and now we are good at a few things, but among them Marketing is not listed

    This is hilarious. LET needs to pay you 100 per 6 months to hang around

    I get the point and if I were a provider, getting a spike in orders is an amazing thing. When I meant forced, it was highlighted to a big extent in the interview. I assume the interview is published in the order you were asked questions.

    You initially mentioned getting 80 orders right at the top. Granted, the interviewer had to go through their set of prepared questions, so it is not referenced right away. When the topic is raised again "80 paid orders arriving in less than an hour sounds like a lot for a new team! How did you handle that flood of orders?" You answered it, the interviewer then went on to discuss other issues about customer abuse. The topic seemed to be routed back on the ad and what the specs of the offer were. It was a BlackFriday deal and excellent specs BTW.

    As a reader (who is also aware of the threads in LET about the provider tag pricing), I just feel that the placement and timing of those questions could have been avoided. Unless the intent was to make a point to other providers.

    I will never take a penny in BilohBucks. I'm even debating if I still want to contribute to his treasured usage metrics.

  • @FlorinMarian is a good guy! It's been interesting to learn more about them :)
