NO CALLS MONEY WASTED!!!
I don't understand what it is you are all doing wrong or if it's because you really never give it your all because you weren't sure about the Thumbtack.com service to begin with and all ready had your mind made up that it wasn't good and have spent all of your time...
You're gonna get 1099'd son. And one day the irs is gonna look at ya and wonder how you make 15k in 6 months without a licence.
You should get a license. Your in arizona, son you could probably find a license in a Cracker Jack box or maybe at a garage sale.
Leads received lead to no jobs; license not being posted
Thumbtack Leeds ?
The word they starred out is w-e-e-d. Not sure why they think that's a bad word.
I mean it in the sense of sorting out, not p-o-t. LOL :grin
I have the same thought that they are creating false clients, I may ask a lawyer about what to do, they have in fact taken money from my account for false leads as well as used my name to create a false request for service which resulted in a charge to another persons business. When I first found thumbtack I was getting a few jobs and continued clients, but at times a request was bogus so I called and got them not to charge.
They now take your call and complaint but do nothing to help, plus they've raised their prices too much. They say I need to get a background check and said it's free, which isn't true, People should know any contractor is checked by the state before they get any type of trade license.
Thumbtack is cheaper to use than other lead sources but still too expensive especially trying to follow a fake lead then getting charged plus the time and etc. To sum it up it's a great business model for a crook and too many like it already exist.
Thumbtack is a complete RIPOFF!!
Reverbnation does the same thing as "thumbtack " false claims. No biz.
They are a scam organization that hires trolls to gang up on you and discredit you when you oppose them. It happened on facebook. They are evil! I paid 85.00 which i had never agreed too.
And if i had not stopped it they would keep charging account. Never got refunded! Thumbtack does the same thing. I only agreed to a 3 dollar fee!
Its the internet scam folks! Musicians dont bother using reverbnation.! Sound cloud is much more efficient...
and more popular. Reverbnation is now looking like a *** myspace page...who knows maybe it too is run by the same ego maniac.

I had a very similar experience with ThumbTack, I am a photographer from Cleveland Ohio, I paid for numerous leads from weddings to headshots, not one lead contacted me. As a photographer I have had many experiences working with the public.
When someone is really serious about hiring a photographer they often times will communicate more than a few times to set cost, time & place. Not having anyone respond back is fishy. I spent close to $100 total for leads & a background check so I would appear to potential clients as legitimate.
Still no responses to medium to low quotes. I have years of experience & a well thought out & designed website yet no responses from potential "clients".I am done some research & found this is a very common experience that photographers have had using this website.
Sorry that this happened to you. As a massage therapist, I was quite frustrated.
I had all these alleged leads and never got a job or even an answer from any clients. Additionally, I kept receiving the same clients' leads over and over again ?? And no responses. That's when I realized something was fishy like you said.
Anyway, they only took me for $18. I wasn't about to keep paying for these ghost leads. My advice to everyone?
Stay away! :eek
