selfdoubt: Great sites for freelancers: I’m a freelance transcriptionist (betcha never heard of such a thing), and these are some of the sites I use to get work. It’s pretty groovy. If you have a skill you can freelance with (writing, programming, data entry, website building, etc.), I’d check these out. Most sites have a limit on how many jobs you can bid on per week or per month unless you sign up for the “premium package” which, of course, have fees attached. Guru Elance oDesk - This one is free for providers (freelancers) because the people seeking workers pay all the fees. This is my favorite. LiveWork - This is a beta site so there’s not much work here yet. I’m able to bring in a $200-$300 each month just by doing a few projects a month.
