I told all my friends about oDesk when I discovered it. We were all excited to start out. We all were laid off from our jobs the next week. It's now a month and I'm the only one who's even got a job because of oDesk. All of them seemed too overwhelmed with the site and I really can't figure out why. I can relate.

I may, if the stars are aligned tonight, pen a word, or a phrase, or perhaps an entire sentence. And for those five long minutes of labor, I shall bill a thousand dollars (US). I cannot understand why some people find freelancing the least bit difficult... As I sit here on the veranda, a soft and fragrant breeze caresses my tanned and well massaged skin.

That’s just the way it is. It takes a certain kind of bravery. All the past/present/future successful freelancers would agree on it. And I personally agree with the whole article. I remember one of my friends wanted to join in my provider company. And he did. I spent a lot of time explaining how things work in oDesk. I only regretted it later, because my friend is yet to know how to write a good cover letter. :) Finally he went on his own way in a business start-up that he felt more suitable for him. I'm describing only one incident. If I had time/ space, I could write for few pages. I couldn't stop feeling in the same way as for your last article. :) Thank you again for bringing another wonderful article. Best Regards, Pothi. Hi Nelson,
