Hey Jennifer,

The freelancing work that I do is not writing articles. It is transcription. I do know that there are writers on Elance that do make decent money. I have heard that there are a lot...

Hi David,

Thanks so much for your reply. I just plan to continue working for two out of three of my regular clients. I am a full time student and due to all the time I have spent freelancing I...

Thanks so much Lisa for your encouragement. I appreciate it.

That's interesting that you have heard of other people that have started out trying to blog, etc. and have ended up freelancing. You...

Hi everyone,

I know this forum is for "website success stories" so I hope you can bear with me if I'm slightly off topic, though the money that I have made is online through a freelancer website!...

Jeff and Kemcar,

That is good advice to show the potential client the benefits of hiring me, rather than giving in to the clients request for a bargain. I was actually looking the profile of a...

Yeah, you are right. The people that are making money at it have a lot of experience and have established a good reputation for themselves. Everyone has to start somewhere. I am thankful for this...

Thanks Lisa! Yeah, she is a freelance journalist and says if she is happy with my work than it will be transcribing about an hours worth of dictation every week or so for her, which would be awesome!...

PS - She agreed to go halfway. I accepted a job offer with her for half way for the freelancer offering to do the job for less and what I wanted for the job. Sometimes you have to compromise! It is a...

I know that this post is a bit off topic for website creation, but I just feel I have to vent somewhere.

I have posted a couple of previous posts about my experiences freelancing.

Anyways, a...

I think you hit the nail on the head Lisa. I think there are a lot of people that think they don't have to do any work, spend very little money on subpar content and the money will just flow in. I...

Hi Lisa,

That sounds like a great system on Textbrokers.com.

There is a rating system on Elance, showing the number of jobs that a Freelancer has worked on, their average rating (1 to 5 stars...

I was wondering if anyone has made decent money on freelancer sites like Elance?

I recently joined Elance. I have worked a couple of transcription jobs, one of which experience I shared in a...

I found websitebabble through Lisa's YouTube videos and 2CreateaWebsite. I have been following her YouTube videos and blogs for quite a long time. Have learned a lot from her.

I just want to give a quick update on this post. I got another job on Elance. This one went really well and the client was so happy with my work that she gave me an extra $10. It absolutely made my...

Hi Riskblue,

Thanks for your response. I just wanted to tell you that I really like that quote; very true I think. I am thankful too that most people are decent. It is just the 1% who are not that...

Thanks Clay :)

Your very welcome Clay. I am just getting a Wordpress blog set up now, so will definitely be visiting your site in the future to get some help with setting up a Wordpress blog.

May I ask what...

Thanks everyone for your replies. It sounds like this type of scam is all too common. I feel bad for everyone else who has had this happen to them as well.

Spirit: I know the name and user name...

Congratulations Clay,

You sound like you have a lot of perseverance! That's awesome that you had your first affiliate sale. To many many more affiliate sales! I had a look at your blog briefly by...

Welcome to the forums Aryan Marshall! Look forward to "babbling" with you in the forums.

David

PS -Hotgabby, I really like the married thread as well. It is nice to see people in relationships...

Hi 1hotgabby,

Sorry to hear that happened to you as well. I definitely am more aware of job scams now. It sounds like these types of scams are quite common. They probably look for people that are...

It is really frustrating because I even know the name of the person, tracked them down online with an online search (turns out they are a lawyer) and there is nothing I can do about it. Oh well, a...

No, I have contacted them multiple times. I even lowered myself to begging, because I really need the money. What really upsets me is that I thought I was doing them a favor because they asked me to...

I am so upset! I have been scammed out of $50 that is owed to me for unpaid work.

I signed up at elance.com. Anyways, I bid for a transcription job. The person contacted me privately to do a "rush...

Thanks for the message. Yes, I did find someone to do this for me. Thank you so much though.

David
