GetAFreelancer(GAF) is a bit newer than the mastodons Scriptlance and RentACoder, but it managed to take a large pie in the market very fast. The site is very nice and easy to use. You can see all projects at a glance, just like in Scriptlance (the layouts of both sites are similar). [...]

Visit the URL: Elance
Before going any further, let me tell you I have had a good success in freelancing without using Elance as a service provider. I have done pretty well just with RentACoder and Scriptlance. So you don’t necessarily need to join Elance and spend money on their memberships. But as you’ll probably conclude [...]
