Hi mylotters!
I just created an account with Elance hoping that I could get more jobs with higher rates to probably help me save and make my dreams turn into reality. I just want to solicit some tips, advises or suggestions from those mylotters out there who have been working at Elance. Thanks in advance and happy mylotting ^_^

Well, there is fierce competition on Elance. But it is really a good site. The people are helpful and the support center is always ready to give support. I have joined this site for more than half year. And I only got one job there. Though the client gave me good feedback, it is still hard to get noticed by other clients when you submit a proposal. Because there are too many excellent workers in this site.
My advice is don't give up and just remember: all things are difficult before they are easy.
Best wishes to you!

Hello winbiz08
I do have an account at Elance, but I do not tend to get my bids accepted - instead I find clients and work through a freelancing website called oDesk. I have now alot of returning clients with work for me every month on oDesk :) But ofcause it takes a bit of time to build up a portfolio.

Although i don't have any experience at Elance.com i do have some success projects worked on Odesk. Yes, it may take time for you to get accepted on various posted jobs at odesk but the employers there are trusted and legit. But if you take up quizzes on odesk makes your profile more visible and more employer's will consider you as their applicant if you meet their expectations.
