Elance is the internet's most comprehensive database of highly-qualified people who are able and willing to accept freelance assignments. The Elance database is divided into nine categories. If you are looking to hire a professional, then Elance is the place for you. When you post your project, it is available to thousands of freelancers who then submit a bid and a written pitch for your project. You can then decide on a suitable freelancer to hire in order to get your project done quickly and efficiently. All freelancers are also required to have their credentials and qualifications authenticated by a third party.

Elance is also the most comprehensive online job source for freelancers of all pursuits. Their database contains thousands of freelance jobs listed under nine broad categories. Freelancers find projects they would like to undertake and then submit a "pitch" for it. This way, you can clearly specify how much you expect to be paid for the project, what percentage you want up-front, and all other terms and conditions. There are two categories of membership: Basic, and Select. Basic is the entry-level category, and you have access to most of the jobs posted in what is known as the "basic" level marketplace. "Select" members get full access to all the projects, and most Select members are well-established freelancers who are known for their high standards and professionalism. Select members have to verify their identity or an academic/professional credential so that their integrity is never in doubt. As a freelance writer, I have been a "Select" member of Elance for almost an year, and can personally vouch that the rewards you can reap far outweigh the cost of membership. (My ID is "photoessays") I encourage you to visit the Elance web-site and browse the jobs posted just so as to see for yourself the tremendous possibilities available. You can select a category to browse from the table on the left. It is free to look. |
