Thanks for your feedback and perspective. I wanted to hear this. Thanks for that. I get some ideas now from it where the problems lies. I am a tech guy and devs is short for developers in software world. Maybe the common man doesn't understand it. xyzdevs stands for "hire developer for any <-XYZ-> tech stack". I thought it was good enough.

Thats why most developers gave good feedback, lol. as my site speaks to them but not to buyers. Thus, no sales occurred from buyer side.

My target customers are remote tech startups, or founders who are technical enough to hire developers quickly for cheap around the world as hiring full-time itself is very hard and time consuming process. The cost mentioned is total price for a project in their packages. On developer side, it gives a developer chance to monetise their skills in different tech stacks.

I created this marketplace website xyzdevs.com - a marketplace for hiring coders based on tech stacks. Although, it has tonnes of visitors, but rarely an order is placed. While the developers feedback was great, It has around 100 developers signed up with 20 services. On Buyer side, I have tried reachout's on linkedin like freelancing hiring posts, DMs, tried google ads but got no sales. I need some validation or even invalidation to get some signal if its right or wrong. Its been 2 months trying this. What to make of the buyer silence. Its frustrating.

The signal is clear, product isn't good enough. I also think, Maybe the target customer is someone else and not who i thought. I have so many questions who only prospective buyer can answer.
