I need to do some simple freelance work, what do you think is the best place to start doing that where i'll get some job to do as soon as possible and can anybody tell me what types of jobs are typically available on such sites. Thanks
Have you checked the DP marketplace forums at http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=24 ??? You can also try this site.
Yup, but most of the jobs there are already taken. I can use this site a little, but there are less options ( like only 1 ) for jobs i wanted to do for e.g. Script Installation e.t.c. Do you know of any similar & bigger site where we can get those jobs but more quickly?
i work at rentacoder.com and i got project usually one after one i finish... there are many other freelancer sites, guru.com elance.com , getacoder.com etc
Why not start a thread in the services section of DP, offering your installation services? After you've had a few clients, you can put together a sales page with a portfolio and you're away. List yourself on eBay, on CraigsList and anywhere else you can find that will let you. Direct everyone to your sales page, and you can build your business from there. You could even start selling ebooks and multimedia products that teach customers how to do it themselves... It's the same as graphic designers or copywriters - you're all offering your skills. There are plenty of people looking for you, so just go and get them.
I've started an installation services thread few days ago but no clients till now.. Besides that i had an internet business web design & SEO services business site available, the same site also had my SEO short e-book.. i had it search engine optimized thou didn't do any other marketing for it, and no sales from there either! So basically i'am forced to do some freelance work like that
www.rentacoder.com it's a big freelance site...you bid for a job the sum you are willing to do it for
