| The eLance SELECT program is a deliberate manipulation of service providers into a controlled marketplace that fails to consider the freelancer's invested professional interests within a sustainable community. | |||
| * Roughly 2000 eLance service providers are SELECT members at about $30 a month per annual agreement. * Nearly 700 SELECT members have zero earnings -- eLance makes $250,000 a year on them making ZERO. * Over 36,000 other service providers -- some paying -- are non-SELECT members ALL with zero earnings. * Eleven of the top 25 SELECT provider earners are India-based; eight are based in Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, Pakistan, Germany, and Canada; six are US-based -- eLance, a US entity, thrives on egregious outsourcing. * Numbers based on over 38,000 active providers listed at eLance.com as of 09.15.04. The numbers cannot be completely accurate since eLance does not delete multiple accounts by the same entity. With many active providers listed multiple times, it throws off all numbers, especially the total number of eLance members. + UPDATE 02.2006: ONLY TWO OF THE TOP 25 ELANCE SERVICE PROVIDERS NOW STRICTLY US-BASED! + SEC Settles FRAUD Charges of Guilty ELANCE FOUNDER SRINIVAS ANUMOLU with 2 YEARS Jail! | |||
