1) Sign up at TheSuperlancers, http://www.thesuperlancers.com- it is a free, flat $5 commission for any projects. You should avoid sites that charges you first and in this site people post ads for jobs and people bid on getting those projects.
2.) Sign-up at ScriptLance, - http://ow.ly/v5D1- it is a free, 10 % commission for all projects, and a minimum of $5
3.)Confirm your e-mail address and choose a username for your profile.- You can skip and come back again to update and ad more for your profile. My tip is you have to choose a wise username to attract projects.
4.)Choose your expertise- Whether it is in programming, writing, web designing, it is important you specify your line of expertise. Many times, being the first one to place a good bid will get you the job, so it's worth it! Being FAST is a great way to get started working immediately.
5.)Getting good feedbacks- place lower bids for few tiny projects and as you get along you can start charging for more.
6.) Understand your project’s objective- Leave a message after posting your bid, saying that you understand what you have to do and recapping how much time will it take you to finish the project and up to the delivery. In short, a summary of exactly what they asked for in the project
When you do put a bid in, make sure you also leave a message on the board and repeat exactly what you said in the bid. Most projects are awarded for a combination of things, but mainly because the person understands what they have to do! Write a proposal that is basically a SHORT recap that includes the time it will take you, how you'll be delivering the final product (such as 'A ZIP file in an email with a TXT file of the article', etc.), and – believe it or not – a summary of EXACTLY WHAT THEY ASKED FOR IN THE PROJECT POST. I know it sounds silly, but it does get the point across, and you'll get chosen because you sound like you understand. And you do – because you have to read the post to even DO this!
7.)Do it as fast as you can- When you get the project, see to it that you do it immediately to gain good feedbacks and remember speed is the key to success in this kind of business
It's that easy. If any questions, just talk to support at both places, they're both good at getting back to people. Have fun, and hope to see you out there!

Hi, this is Nicole from Rent a Coder. Rentacoder provides access to programming, writing, illustration, even data entry jobs. (You can get a sense of the broad scope of work available here: http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/SoftwareCoders/BrowseWork.asp).
ReplyDeleteI'd like to point out a few differences between our service and services like Scriplance however, since those differences could influence your satisfaction and earnings.
Guarantee of Payment:
With pay-for-time type projects, Scriptlance doesn't allow you to verify your time by punching in and out of a real-time system, and cannot conclusively prove to the buyer that you were working. As a result they do not guarantee payment, and if the buyer does not wish to pay you, you may end up with no money.
Rent a Coder allows you to verify your time spent on a project by punching in and out of a real-time card application which records your desktop and webcam. The end result is indisputable proof that you've worked and deserve payment.
Arbitration:
Scriptlance doesn't act as an arbitrator between parties, should a dispute arise, except in limited situations. Problem is, the site doesn't publish its arbitration details, so no one knows what those cases may be.
At Rentacoder, we offer arbitration on all projects free of charge and we test your deliverables to make sure they meet requirements so that you can get paid. We also prevent abusive buyers from stalling the start of arbitration. As a result, 45% of our arbitrations are completed under a day. 75% under a week. We additionally publicize the detailed rules of how our arbitrators make their decisions.
Fraud Protection:
Scriptlance doesn't show all buyers' non-action ratio, nor does it confirm buyers' phone numbers, credit cards, or PayPal accounts to prevent fraud. But Rent a Coder shows all buyers' non-action ratio, and it confirms buyers' phone numbers, credit cards, and PayPal accounts to prevent fraud.
There are other differences as well. I invite everyone to compare the 7 major services through this link to learn even more: http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/DotNet/misc/CompetitorInformation/WhyRentACoder_ForSellers.aspx
If you have any questions, please let me know. You can also call in to talk to a facilitator 7 days a week, or email us (see http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/misc/Feedback.asp).
