Website: eLance.com Summary: This is the king of all that is Freelance work! There is a lot of technical emphasis on the outside (like website design, etc.), but there is plenty of other jobs (almost anything you can think of) if you look a little bit deeper. You may have to bid a bit lower than you would like due to the competition.

| User Review: Elance is a joke if you are looking to provide quality work (and get anything close to a fair wage).
For buyers it's even worse. The whole site is chalk full of low-quality providers with glowing resumes and feedback. The thing is the providers make multiple accounts and "trade" ...Read More |

Detailed eLance Review
Elance is perhaps the most well-known outsourcing and freelancing companies on the internet. In fact, they were the first company I ever used to start outsourcing work.
(For that example, I was outsourcing article writing).
That was several years ago and to this day, I still go back to eLance as my best "second source" solution to try to find qualified applicants to outsource my tasks.
First, the eLance system is simple to use and if you are looking to use it to find a freelancer, it does not cost you any money. (If you are a freelancer yourself, they do take a small percentage of your earnings for the service).
For the PROS:
I have found that eLance has one of the biggest networks around. You will find providers from all over the world and the price ranges for tasks can be dirty cheap to professionally expensive. Over time, I have used them about 7 times and even found a full-time writer through this service. I have gotten tasks like articles, eBook writing and editing, logos, graphic design and some web design consulting through eLance. Also, eLance goes well beyond just internet marketing tasks. The process is very simple and you are not obligated to choose anyone, either.
CONS:
Again, like any outsourcing, using eLance is very hit-and-miss. Like most services, you can pre-interview candidates before you select them, but initial insight is limiting (compared to something like Odesk). You do get past ratings and lifetime earnings, but you don't get much assessment of their skills.
Also, I wish that Odesk had a better project management system. They do have a communication system of emailing (which you should ALWAYS use, just in case of a dispute), but there is no formal time logging and screen shots like you would find at Odesk. Of course, if you are a provider, you may prefer the lack of "big brother" looking over your shoulder at all times.
Despite these facts, I would not ignore eLance! These days, I will usually look for someone to hire in eLance and one other outsourcing company. It can't hurt and the more candidates and selection that you have, the better! And you will probably find you will get the most response from eLance, too!
