Last year Elance changed their subscription plans and got expensive by intrducing the "connects", since then I grown my business with 150%, why? so simple, quality. (avg project on me is above 3k right now) 2. If you're looking to get something done professionally and you do not have a development background, then that's the way to go; if you know programming and looking for a 100job, then rentacoder.com is the best fo you; I'd strongly suggest to avoid using sites like guru.com that encourage people submitting templated bids. 3. There is an earlier comment that encourages virtual assistance; maybe... however, I really doubt someone can tell me better how to achieve my goals, especially when that person is a marketing 3rd party with the main objective to increase market i.e. spend your money. 4. Even Elance, as the largest such business and as being in business for over 10 years, has bugs into that marketplace; it's very hard for me to believe there is some other super market super professional and without any problems; (and I do makrting all day long, not only through Elance). Good luck! I’m top100 on elance http://www.dcrsolutions.biz aka connects.elance.com and would like to clarify several aspects:

What happened to privacy, is that outdated too.... to be fair, most sites of this nature do, even consignment based stock image websites from my experience.

I feel like it is the best kept secret on the internet, and I am glad the word is getting out. Elance has been the jumping off point for my freelance writing business, The Garden of Words, L.L.C. Elance has allowed me to find clients from around the world and write about a huge variety of topics. Most importantly, Elance has allowed me to merge my favorite hobbies: reading, writing and gardening. I have hired Elance designers to create my website and my logo. Elance is the best site for freelancers in many different disciplines, and people looking for talented professionals. --Katie Elzer-Peters, The Garden of Words, L.L.C. http://www.thegardenofwords.com http://ktplant.elance.com Thank you for profiling Elance!

Your screen shots show my company logo at 0:36 seconds and the key words from my profile at 0:41 seconds. Unfortunately I am not a web designer or graphics design, but I am a Mechanical Designer. I design products for companies with the end goal of taking those products to market.
