I have started a new site called Freelance Your Project at http://www.freelanceyourproject.com that is similar to Elance but much cheaper and has NO transaction fees.
We have hundreds of freelance professionals in all areas looking for work and we desperately need jobs posted!
I am a freelancer and know what it means to try to make a living at it. What I am trying to accomplish with this site is to be more beneficial for the freelancer than me, the site owner. I have set very low subscription fees. It will be free to try out the site in April and then I will begin a low monthly rate of $14.95, quarterly $39.00 and yearly $150. There are NO transaction fees taken from you when you win a bid on a project. There may be other fees in time that will be for voluntary options such as Certified Members but I WILL NOT charge transaction fees; minimal, percentage or otherwise. There are also no minimum bids and commission jobs are allowed. You do not have to go thru me for payment arrangements on your projects.
The site is growing fast and I'm trying to keep up with problems and questions so please bear with me. I want to do whatever is necessary to this site to make it a place you would want to be. So, mainly I am asking you to check out the site and then to give me suggestions of what you want or need from me and I will do my utmost to make it happen. I am open to all suggestions and if it is reasonable and I can do it, it will be done.
I am not trying to get extremely rich here, just make a reasonable living and provide a service that I know is needed. I don’t have a lot of money to invest at this time but will add more features to the site as it grows. I dropped out of Elance because of the fees and restrictions. Trying to make a living as a freelancer is hard and I can't bear sites that take advantage of its members.
Thank you for listening and I would appreciate your thoughts and ideas. I know you have many.
