Derek - I think it's worth taking a look. Laura – Yeah, I mention in Wednesday’s post about how sometimes you can over-commit.

Guru is new to me but I will certainly be browsing around to check out what I can.

It is possible to find some good projects there. My only word of caution would be to be cautious about the scope of the work that you agree to do for the amount of money agreed upon. (This is true of any bidding site.) I’ve used Guru.com in the past, and even gotten work from there. It is possible to find some good projects there.

I was going to look into guru myself - I wasn't aware that it was one you pay to be a member of. Finding the first freelance job is soooo hard. I've been at it for weeks (I also didn't have many writing samples to show.) I finally landed my first job last week, and you can imagine how completely ecstatic I was! Anyway, I can't wait to hear some of the other resources you've used. Thanks for sharing! Lorna:
