Finding Freelance

Many designers and companies choose to turn to sites like Guru.com, elance.com, and others to find freelance work. Although these sites are a good concept, they don't work.

These sites are overrun with undervaluing, underbidding designers which do not create quality answers to marketing problems. It's also overrun with offshore designers who don't understand local marketing and get a lot lost in translation.
