Where are some good places to get freelance work?

I'd suggest reading through some of the threads in this section -many are regarding the various freelance sites and you'll get a good overview of which ones people like and which ones are less popular.

I will say, based on personal experience, that working through the freelance sites will literally be what you make of it. You're often bidding against providers who are charging ridiculously low rates [and offer relatively poor quality] SO if you present professionally, stick to your guns on rates that are at least within proximity of what you usually charge, and provide excellent portfolio samples [writing, etc.] you may very well win some great projects, and long term clients.

Good luck!

Hi there,

I agree with Tess, I myself have been searching for good reputable freelance sites. During my research, I found that Elance, Guru and ODesk are the most popular. As Tess the providers in these sites charge a very low rate. It is very important to create a very strong profile on these freelance sites so that when clients come looking you stand out in the crowd.

Since I am just starting out in my VA business, I have thought about joining some of these freelance sites just to get my feet wet.

Good luck.
