from Leveling Up with Eric Siu · host Eric Siu
Hear how Ian Ippolito, former founder of V-Worker (today known as Freelancer.com, and previously known as Rent-a-Coder) stumbled into Internet marketing success not once, but twice.

He decided to launch Planet Source Code for coders and attracted upwards of 4 million new visitors a month before the dot com crash imploded his business. Faced with mounting bills and a flatlining business, he restructured his idea to connect workers with employers who needed coders. That idea became known as vWorker.
