Hi all.
Ive been looking at a few freelancing websites. Basicly ive found a problem with the ones ive seen so far.
Now im not racist in any way, i just have to say this to get my point across. Basicly, Anyone in UK/USA always get outbidden by people from India.
For example, there was a job to create 10k live accounts every week. Now i would do that for $100-$150 per week, which i thought was a very very resonable price (Here its about £70-100). But then theres always an indian which comes along and bids to do it for $20-30 a week! Thats £15 to me! I cant beat that! Obviously $1 is worth an awful lot more, so i can understand why their prices are so low.

Basicly, are there any freelance websites of which the large population on them are usa/uk?

Thanks.

General Reed.

Trust me, I've been to India (for a very long time). Their prices are low because that's not low at all for them. Obviously, this can't be said for some of the Indian population.

Indeed i realise this. So i hope that not every single freelance website has 90% indians and 10% uk+usa.

I've gotten some pretty bgood work off of craigslist
They area good site to get freelance work, and there really isn't a "bid" on the jobs, You just contact the job poster directly, and work out the deal with them. Usually, if you get the first response in, you get the job, unless someone way more qualified comes along.
