What do you think about using freelancers to assist with internet projects?
Is it a good way of working? Or do you prefer to have someone that you work with sitting alongside you? _________________ Business Forums - Sport Forums - Travel Forums |

Wow, that account is completely spammy. It's sad, it looks like this site isn't maintained anymore. I get all sorts of errors when I try to run searches, and when I try to upload an avatar, and so on.
Oh well.
To answer your question, altyfc, yes, I use freelancers. In my time I've used guru.com, rentacoder.com, some "lancer" site like sitelancer.com or scriptlancer.com, and a few others. I'm not even sure they're all around still anymore.
But what I do know is that I only wanted to use freelancing sites that had an escrow service. I did NOT want my funds released until I approved of the project. There are some real losers out there, so getting to review the work and say "not up to spec" was pretty important to me.
I was generally happy with the results. I never took the lowest bidder. I only hired the ones that had the best mix of good portfolio, good PM or task-list for my project, and good price. That seemed to work out. The only time it didn't work out, I didn't have to pay. The escrow service protected me. _________________ Outshine - geek blog & free phpBB mods
