Comments on: Shape Your Own Freelance Career http://odeskinsider.com/blog/shape-your-own-freelance-career/ Freelancing is more fun with oDesk Tue, 17 Jan 2012 05:09:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Dave Robinson http://odeskinsider.com/blog/shape-your-own-freelance-career/comment-page-1/#comment-47 Dave Robinson Fri, 22 Feb 2008 17:02:40 +0000 http://www.odeskinsider.com/blog/shape-your-own-freelance-career/#comment-47 I'm with you Bill, I like to mix regular work for a steady stream, with fixed price jobs which pay better but are less reliable. In addition to oDesk I've used Scriptlance and Getafreelancer. I haven't found work at Scriptlance myself, but have done okay for myself with oDesk and Getafreelancer. One thing I like is that their payment systems can be complementary if you use the Payoneer Mastercard since you can have both sites pay to the same card. One thing I'd like to add is that when applying for fixed-price jobs, you want to wait and get the higher priced ones. Not the little jobs that eat your time and don't pay anything. Be choosy.
