At Dumbagent we have always been big supporters of cloud networks. Not only do they bring users in direct contact with providers on a case by case basis, but they transcend all boundaries, quotas and tariffs that nations try to impose.
We will therefore start listing sites for freelancers, designers and other services in our Resources section.
Here are some of the main ones you should know about:
General Freelancers:
Elance: whether you want a proofreader, programmer, designer, or pretty much anything else, elance probably has it. You can post the work you need done, and the “elancers” will bid for it.
Odesk: Same concept as Elance, but also allows you to have random screenshots of your freelancers computer screen taken, to make sure they’re working while on the clock.
Freelancer.com: Same concept again
Designs:
99designs.com: State what you need and what you’re offering for it, and wait for the designs to come rolling in. You pay only for the design you choose.
Logotournament.com: This is exactly what it sounds like. A more specialized version of 99designs.com.
