I would like to introduce a great freelancer site.It's a virtual market place
between buyers and sellers of IT services from all over the world.I had several
succesful jobs,so I really like it,and it's free.There are several jobs:.NET, C/C++,
Flash, Java,MySQL, Script Installation, Website Security, ASP, Cold Fusion, Delphi,
Graphic Design, Javascript, PHP, Visual Basic, Perl/CGI, XML..and many more.

There are other not so technical jobs:
You can still earn money doing things everybody knows.You can do many "non-technical" things.
Some of them are data research/collection (finding specified info on the web),
data entry(mostly copy/paste), translation and many more.
Just check out the jobs database, and you will find hundreds of fresh freelance jobs to choose
from, plus a wealth of advice and information.
All these jobs and many more are available for you to apply for right now.

So which was the site again? can't you just specify its name if you still do this talking over it? Or am I supposed to click whatever? IT's not that I don't trust freelance site....wait....I DON'T TRUST THE MAJORITY OF FREELANCE SITES... Smile

Why you don't trust these freelancer jobs websites?Have you tried working for such a website and you were scammed or what?Or is about the fact that you don't trust a stranger especially if you don't see him in flesh and blood?

So the rest of the links you gave us aren't for free?You have to deposit some cash to get freelancer jobs?
How these sites work?How do you get the jobs?It's like an auction,the employers offers you the job and the lowest bid wins?

It's easy. You register for an account. Read the projects and find one that fit your skills. You estimate and bid a fair amount to complete the project /yes,like an auction../ If the Service Buyer pick you as the winner he will pay you that amount through GetAFreelancer.com at a time you both agree on in advance.

You gotta be kiding me with Getafreelancer. It's the worse of all because it doesn't offer any advantages to the seller (worker). On the contrary. Everything is public. Bids, messages. Nobody is protected in any way. Besides, the site is full of people in search of a fast opportunity and their work is way beyond low in quality. I do not recommend it at all.
I have hired someone in there and he delivered me such bad work that I needed to hire somebody else...who...did the same thing...I had enough and hired someone in a firm in Washington.

So you say that on these freelancer websites you can find all sords or offers for small jobs,but how you become a buyer?What kind of depositing and cashing out methods are used?Can you rate the sellers for a good job or for a bad job,like happened to you julian?

) getafreelancer is the worst freelancing site ever. They have no respect either for the buyer nor for the seller. Julian is right. If you wanna do some freelancing jobs, then choose some other site, but not getafreelancer. It's so old and they allow coruption to settle in. The bids are very low (indians especially)...you can lose a decent bid just because an indian bids half your price. What is worse is that his work is of low quality.
