Connections matter most
The purpose of this guide is to gather in one place the contacts of all interesting professional users of Gamer.ru. If you have any talent, own a website, or run a business and are willing to share your experience with others — welcome to us.
This is a draft version of the guide. Since I simply cannot know everything about everyone, all the personalities in the first edition have been those with whom I have interacted closely.
Corrections and additions are welcomed with open arms! Please consider how you can be of help to others. You might want to share your unique experience. Perhaps among the users of Gamer.ru, you will find partners or future employees for your company. In that case, send me a private message with a brief introduction about yourself and your contact information, along with links to your projects.
If you do not wish to participate in this and were mistakenly included in the guide — your contacts will be removed from the list.
This guide is a free supplement to the mini-guide on earning money online.
