Yeah I actually had no idea what I was really getting into. I found a few clients who liked my pricing (it was **** good for the basically flawless job that I provide.. $1.50 per minute of tape. A 20 minute tape would cost $30. Most would charge 2-5x as much.

Anyway the guy who contacted me was an editor of a small TV blog. I believe it was The TV Addict. He met me downtown and he gave me his tape recorder because his recorder couldn't upload to computers. I had to do it manually (locking it in a room beside my computer :p)

I did teh job and he paid me via Paypal. That's your next thing; most people use paypal. It's pretty secure. However, it was quite possible for the guy to basically just not pay me. There's a small risk you take but if the person is using their real name and works for a company, they're not gonna stiff you because they could ruin their career easily...

next, i'd read some copy editing offers:

http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/wet/

be competitive. You're gonna have to spam your offer a little and beat other prices.

that's basically about it. good luck, really.. there's programs that'll test your typing speed no problem. they can be found online or just like, all the right type.

mmk, good to know. i might not be trying this anytime soon, but good to know. i think firstly i'm going to try to get a video game tester job this summer. freelance editing could always be done on the side and at any point.

i'd rather be the one contacting others, than putting myself up there, but it seems like it's a good place to go for job opportunities.

Kyle: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=222786

That's a poll asking people which format they prefer.

Option A) Emphasizes Tournament Organization
Day 1: Signups, Teams Pools, Singles Pools 1, Singles Pools 2, Crews
Day 2: 32 Team Bracket, 32-Man Singles Bracket, end early for friendlies and MMs

Option B) Emphasizes event variety and schedule flexibility
Day 1: Signups, Teams Bracket, Singles Pools, Singles 64-Man Bracket
Day 2: Crews, Low Tier events, friendlies, MMs


It would seem that most prefer Option B (myself included), so we don't necessarily have to stay on Sunday or would could just leave whenever we wanted to... it's much more flexible from our perspective. So be sure to vote for Option B in the thread everyone! Even the people who aren't going :p

I posted and said we're Teen Titans or North Coast.

I'm guessing if we do regional crews with the frenchies we're Canada Crew (aka North Coast <3 KneeOfJustice) and if we do crews tournament (with however many people we're allowed) we're Teen Titans.

I would team with you, Kyle, but I'm teaming with Imadh. Our team name is "Legalize Hyrule For Genesis".

haha, k. so that leaves sylar in our car...and i think mike is going too, since he's on scar's list...preferably one of the top five in toronto, since there are 5 of you and 1 of me, and 5 + 1 = 6 which is an even number. but anyone else going from canada, really.

edit: the reason i keep asking is cause i don't want to have to edit this form again later.

Wow, Kyle is a top 5 wh0re <_<

So, I'm not going to the gym tonight because I'm still pseudo-sick; sooo, anyone want to smash tonight? David? Ryan? Bernard? Stos? Mike? PeterX? Someone? :p... sorry Imadh, Sauga is too far from me T_T, especially on a work night.

Btw, Mike, are you teaming with anyone yet? I've let go of our past team drama and would be willing to team with you... considering how well we did as a team in the past o.o. Peter (DOUBLE FOX LOL) and Kyle (Jiggs Fox Sexynass) would work too! Mike just has priority because we've teamed extensively before, no hard feelings. Hit me up!

Edit: Oh ya, if no one can smash, I'll end up playing level 4 computers all night, practicing grab jump timing and nair shine. SAVE ME FROM SUCH A FATE !! =P

i'm free friday. probably only friday. my house, however, is NOT free friday - my parents are having people over for some reason, that's why i want to go somewhere to smash.

lol, this is so weird. 825 after this one. edit: no, right, this doesn't count, still 824. =(


edit: for teams - manalord - i'd rather team with one of the other canadian guys going, no offense =P
josh - considered. hmm...i think i'm basically waiting for mike, cause he specifically said at starfurry 3 that he'd team with me at something (and david-imadh, bernard-ryan) are already taken.

double edit: josh - sure =) talked to mike already, he's already teaming with pkm or sylar, unless cactuar or someone will go with him.
