SEEKING FREELANCER (or perhaps a mentor)
This request is much more basic than many of the others, sorry if that offends anyone. If anyone has any interest in mentoring a newbie, please let me know. I'm willing to offer whatever I can in return.
I started learning how to code recently, and I'm trying to launch my first product, an online video-based GMAT prep tool. I've built the site using PHP, MySQL, and unlisted YouTube videos. It "works," in the sense that I can give someone a username/pw and they can access everything.
I need help going from a somewhat functional site to a site that can charge money for a product. This includes: improving the horrible "design" (using a template is fine for now), making the log-in more secure, finding a better way to host the videos (if you think a better way is necessary), and setting up a way to accept payment (PayPal is fine for now).
I'm in New York City, so it would be nice but not crucial to  work with someone here. If you're interested, or if you have any advice for me, please let me know. Thanks.
