odesk anyone ever use?

I have signed up with odesk

anyone have good or bad expereinces with it?

 

Yes i used them in the Past.The only Bad part about them is that Entrance exam or whatever .I failed 3 times and passed on the Border the 4th time.Odesk is the Mother of Work From Home sites

 

Are you looking to hire workers or become one yourself?

 

I see a lot of people recommending them, and someone recently referred them to me.

I was looking for virtual assistant elsewhere- but the prices were ridiculous.

Don't people know the economy blows right now and you should work for what you can?

LOL

 

odesk if really good. i use it to hire people. you get screenshots of the workers screen every 5 mins and also their keyboard and mouse activity. and you are only billed for the work done.

 

I have worked on odesk but not satisfied much, thats why I shifted to other sites like eZdia , elance etc. , here you may get some good employees. Usually prefer eZdia as here you get the experts in almost every category.

 

Odesk.com is a great work place for buyers and workers. There are many professional and competent providers with fair rate and odesk keeps tracks of the work that is being done so you can monitor if the person you hire is doing the job. However, fees associated with it but I still recommend it.

 

You can find plenty of reviews online about Odesk. A lot of people have posted complaints about their service.

 

I'm a HUGE fan of oDesk (for looking for providers)! I've used them quite a bit for everything from VA's to designers to programmers. I've also used RentACoder, eLance, craigslist, and others, but keep coming back to oDesk. I've posted my experiences on my blog (that match my username).

I even had the fortune of meeting the oDesk CEO a couple weeks ago and was super impressed with him.

 

Yes, I have worked with odesk and i got payments to i worked for link building process job for half hour and i got 10 $ to mine paypal within 5 days but just you have pass there tests which i have done and passed it then only you will get good projects to do. but there odesk cuts 1 $ per transactions to the paypal from the amount which we have earned.

 

I also did worked on odesk and I was paid on time on a per hour basis

 

Very interesting to see so many oDesk providers replying! I'm curious if the OP was intending for answers from one group or both?

 

Yes, I am an Odesk provider. And so far, the money i use to support my kids is coming from it.

 

Does any one here use elance? Maybe someone could tell me their experiences with either?

 

Yes I like oDesk, I wrote a blog about my experiences with oDesk here - www.danlew.com/outsourcing-design-and-programming-projects/

 

Odesk is a great marketplace, the test you take is to show your abilities on certain areas, and help you to get found by buyers(owners of a project), you will get different prices for each project. Dont ask the world for some dollars, Each project has it price.

 

YEah odesk is good. My cousin tried it but I'm a little bit disappointed in their interest with your salary. And the good thing about odesk is you can easily find a good job if you have a good skills.

 

Odesk is legit. You'll run into the same problems as you will with any e-hiring firm but the results are pretty good. Of course it also depends a bit on luck.

 

ive used odesk a few times and had both good outcomes and bad outcomes....so it all depends on your luck, your project and the person you hire...just make sure to go back and fourth a few times to make sure
