I’ve had success at elance with writing projects, but you are certainly right about all the cheap bidders. Not everyone wants the work dirt cheap though. I’ve found if you offer a reasonable price and you can show you do good work, the work comes. You’ll always get stung now and then though. That’s the downside of it. The upside is getting to do what you love and get paid.

Keep trying at elance. I found after I won about three projects I was able to win the bidding more easily.

Have you had any success with sites like elance or getacoder? I’ve tried to bid on some projects, but it seems I always lose to ultra cheap bidders from India or China. The contracts that I seem to have a chance at just don’t pay well enough.

I don’t think people value creative or programming work as much as its really worth. They think its easy.

Amen to that! I confess, I’ve been working 24/7 lately. But I’m determined to achieve some specific goals so once I get there hopefully I can lead a saner life. Thanks for your comment!

There are many ways to earn extra money. Depends on your interests. The only thing I warn against is taking on too much once you get successful at your odd jobs…
