To Bid or Not to Bid…That is the Question

I used to get a fair amount of work from Rent A Coder, but moved away from the site almost a year ago to network directly with Internet marketing professionals. I’d considered joining Elance, but never got around to it. Now it looks like lots of freelancers will be looking for other places to look for work.

I’m not sure of all of the details, but Jennifer at CatalystBlogger has been keeping readers up to date on the issues, and her personal experience with talking to Elance execs.

In the meantime, The Hidden Writer has a great list of alternatives to Elance.

    Great link to Jennifer, but the second link actually links to Jennifer’s post again.

    I’ve never really tried the bidding sites. It’s disheartening enough to compete against so many, let alone having to underbid someone to land a gig. I feel underpaid as it is!

    Usually, I find jobs on Craigslist, Problogger or through a colleague’s referral.
