Right now i'm trying to concentrate in scriplance and freelancer but as we know it takes quite a long time to build good reputation their and first & main thing it's very hard to win our first bid.scriptlance is lucky for me. i will suggest you Scriptlance.com it is as good as freelancer.com.best of luck for your freelancer career,and one more advice always ask 50% upfront from buyer when your bid get selected.

again thanks for your nice guide lines.I have a bit experience in the freelancer site and i want to share it with you.Actually my balance turned negative as in freelancer site it is a custom to pay 5$ to the site if your bid get selected.That thing also happened with me.I got success to get my first writing job and i paid that amount to the site.Thereafter the project owner said me in a email that he would contact me soon but unfortunately i find no response from him though i emailed him quiet often about what i had to do......so can you tell me what way i should follow in those sites after my bid get selected????????your experience after getting your 1st bid selected in Scriptlence.com???.....i will be very much thankful.

hi, I think, you can do that. No problem will occur. I am a professional provider on freelancer.com. You just use another email adress instead of current to open new account and also delete cookies of your browser before start opening new account. Happy mylotting..
