Freelancer com ? Or Pay To Work
Freelancer com
You might be able to make some money doing side work on Freelancer.
So far, I've joined up and got my first project. A very nice guy from Australia picked me from all the bids to create a new website with 3 pages.
I ended up spending many hours refining the website using PHP to meet the requested criteria for getting paid. The payments were to be made for 3 milestones. We agreed the first milestone was complete and the funds were released.
The next day I signed in to find out his account was shut down for a breach of site terms. All the money was refunded but I was left with a lot of time lost. I couldn't even get a good review.
So back to newbie status with no projects.
Be very careful who you work for. Be sure they are reputable is what their support tells me.
Freelancer takes a commission out of every bid you make and get accepted for.
So if you win a project for $30, Freelancer gets $5 off the top.
You also have to pay for extra bids if you want to bid on enough projects to get one. You start out being underbid by freelancers from other countries who normally earn $2-8/hr.
Best of Luck,
Frank

Thank you for sharing
Thanks. I didn't post a link. The site made the freelancer dot com a link. I put a space.
A link was there because I clicked on it
However it is now gone
