Has anyone tried this out? what are your opinions on it? Its like rent a coder, or guru and you work from home. I read reviews and they seem to pay out and have a good reputation. The only thing is some people on there from India, Phillipines and such charging only 2 or 3$ an hour, but on the flipside would be good for someone wanting to hire a person to do some task you dont want to have to do for very cheap. You can even do stuff like data entry for 10$-15$ an hour and have skill tests. Pick your own hours, ect..

A link would help alot but i will provide it for you http://www.odesk.com/w/

Now back on topic, i have never heard of it but sounds great. I found a review on it so here it is

"Re: any legit home-based work out there?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I found this site, odesk.com. You sign up, it's free of course, and submit your profile. It's a pretty serious site. The profiles are basically for buyers (job sumbmitters) to see what you are all about. You have to take an odesk ready test before applying for jobs. It's just to make sure you know the program.
There are hundreds of optional tests to take and when you pass, put them on your profile so you look pretty good to the employer. There are different types of work to choose from and they send you email of the jobs available. I just signed up and some of the jobs look interesting."

I've allready signed up and took tests. Just have not applied to anything yet, I wanted to see if anyones tried it yet. I guess I will do it first then if no one else has used it and I will let you know how it works out. Freelance work from home sounds great, and I know theres some great programmers on suck-o, maybe some will want to make some extra money in their spare time. You set your hourly pay.

I make more money in a few days freelancing than I do in two weeks at work. I just need to job so I have a consistent income, as freelancing is not a consistent income.
