about odesk

Hi Ramlaxman, At oDesk, you're really only guaranteed payment for the hourly work that you do there. oDesk doesn't require escrowing for fixed-fee jobs, so they're a fairly risky investment of your time and skills. If you want guaranteed payment on both hourly and fixed-fee jobs, work through a different service, like vWorker (Rentacoder).

Yes Odesk is a legitimate site. I have been getting jobs / projects through Odesk for the past 4 years. And they really do pay. I even have full-time work from clients I met at Odesk. As with any online job, Odesk also requires time, patience and effort so you can earn money. You can try to sign up there, build your profile and market your services and skills to earn. Good luck!

Yes. Odesk is one of the higher end opportunities. They are very legit and have been around for a number of years.
