    Without bringing eyeballs to the service, ether.com has much less to offer, but still something. The mechanics of billing someone, getting set up with a credit card and whatnot are worth the commission to avoid.

    But marketing is king and that's in part why eBay is so large. People know that's the place to go for auctions. Ether doesn't seem to be creating that same public consciousness for its offer.

    I've been with Ether for a year. Never once got a call. Not for lack of advertising. I guess people just don't want to pay for relationship advice, when they can just call up their best friend.

    Exactly! I especially agree with "becoming the hub of knowledge" and "providing opportunities to quickly engage with the new clients".  Anyone who owns a halfway successful website knows this is key.

    Startup Advice:
    I guess I am not sure why I would use Ether to contact or support clients I already have. They know where I am, how to contact me, my rates. They don't need Ether for this.

    Ether needs to think about the real compelling needs of the individual consultants and contractors to be of value to them. And this is first and foremost utilizing their time in the best way. This means providing opportunities to quickly engage with new clients and customers; this means becoming the hub of knowledge where those in need of advice come to Ether first.

    Otherwise, this will be another "me too" website trying to figure out "chicken or the egg" problem.
