I heard back from a lead I paid for last week. Thumbtack said it was a perfect match, but Larry Z says he was looking to join a group- not to take private lessons. I am listed for Private Tai Chi Instruction. ...should he even have matched with me? Also, I travel to my students. If he wants to join a class he is clearly expecting to come to me, which I don’t do. So again, how is that a match? Another perfect match I got recently wanted to learn a form and style I don’t teach. She also ended up visiting one of my public classes, one time, and then faded away. It seems that about 80% of the time, the perfect matches that I pay for never reply to my answer of their initial query. Maybe it’s because they aren’t perfect matches.

Hi Kameron The link you gave doesn’t work. I looked into it and the link is malformed. It has https://https// for a prefix. The 2nd https// shouldn’t be there. That may be the same issue that causes the link in the app notifications to fail. The system is injecting extra code into the links, which makes them not work. I know this because I was at one time a web developer. There is nothing on the troubleshooting page that is of any help.

I should also mention that when I hit the link in my in-app notifications to go and increase my budget - it takes me a “page no longer exists”

Funny that the minimum weekly budget would be $20. I haven’t spent more than $6 in over a year! In fact, I spent a lot more in the “old days” when they charged $3 each to be one of the first five to bid on a request. Since they changed to the new variable pricing i either do not bid (for fear of spending $15 on a job that MAY pay $75) or do not see any requests.

Hi - yes it says I’ve spent $3 of my $15 budget - yet I can’t get any more leads because my budget is maxed - I got a notification that read “You’ve hit your weekly budget of $15 for Private Tai Chi Instruction jobs. Set a higher budget to reach more customers. “ Clearly, I have $12 remaining in budget. So why am I not able to get more leads?

My budget is $15. TT says my cost per lead is $3 and I should get 3-4 leads per week with that budget. (That math implies the actual cost to be $5 per lead, not $3) I got 1 lead this week. Now it says my budget is used up and I should increase it to $20 to get more leads. I autopay so I get a 20% discount. — Did they just charge me $15 for a lead? — Why do I have to increase to $20 to get more than one $3 lead (at 20% off)?
