Worker Classification Guide This guide can help with the differentiation between 1099 and W2 employee status.
Elancer Job Opp Sites
Aquent Fantastic, extremely professional site with contract opportunities in specific cities as well as virtual.
Bullhorn Great site, could use more projects, but nice upkeep and customer service.
Creative Freelancers Website for creative freelancer opportunities. Claims to be connecting freelancers and clients for more than 20 years.
Ework.com Off like a rocket, and I seriously plan on fastening my seat belt to this one.
Farm The ants.com business to business outsourcing marketplace for freelancers.
Flipdog Job Hunter Search for dream jobs while you sleep is their claim to fame here.
FreeAgent The Opus 360 web-based talent marketplace where independent professionals can find projects.
FreelanceTempo FreelanceTempo.com is designed as a one-stop place to search for gigs and opportunities. It is also a place to get free training courses and certifications.
GURU Great site, visually exciting. Could use more projects, but wonderful resources for freelancers.
i1099 New site...not much there yet but I'll be checking it out to watch for growth.
JustTechJobs Fast-linking site to specialized tech job opportunities.
Portfolios.com Boasts 14,000 creatives, so looks stiff in competition, but someone has to be taking project awards here, why not you or me?
ProSavvy Pay to play but the stakes are high. If you're a ProSavvy player, share your experiences in the Fresh Choice Forums. Would love to know how it is working for you.
Smarter Work Site a lot of elancers already frequent, 'tests' skill levels, nice site overall.
Sologig.com If you only register, without becoming an immediate member, they 'should' send you an email offer after a couple days for 15% off your first month.
UBIDContract Newest site yet calls itself a 'professional contracting network.' They found me through my registered ants.com email address....
Web Pros Now Not easily recommended. Total waste of time and obtuse criteria for entry. See the CHOICE Newsletter v.1.2 for more.
ZDNet IT RFP Center The pay service site eLance is modeled after. Face it - eLance never had an original idea but takes its best ideas from others. Even its founder is accused of wrongfully receiving money!
Elancer Toolbox
Articles Regarding Freelancing Some of these have to do with dealing with clients, some are business tips and even some to do with lowballing.
CreativePro Resource center for creative professionals. Looks like a pretty good site, and I am a member though haven't had time to use it.
Desktop Publishing Dictionary Mildy outdated yet there's something to be gleaned in DTP terminology in this simple resource.
EyeWire Easy to use, affordable stock image house from Adobe. Good repository of images. Some other stock image services include eyewire along with photodisc and others in their image searches.
Geeks4Free Site for those with skills but no experience. Users work for free to build up their resume work experiences. Not sure I agree with the logic, but I don't need the service. It's here for those who do, namely students and/or recent grads.
Vault The insider career network. This site is loaded, and includes their famously trademarked Electronic Watercooler discussion area.
