I think it's interesting that you get alot of work from freelancer sites. What kind of sites are you talking about, as I have gotten the feeling that most people haven't had too much luck with these sites. I have personally gotten a network from freelance forums, and I get steady work from them, but have never gotten work from those job listings and such. Could you tell us abit more about how you go about doing this. Great points you bring up. I think it’s interesting that you get alot of work from freelancer sites.
