I would like to concur with the previous post. Do *NOT* use this company – over the last year they have locked my account 3 different times, each time for when I transfer money to my account to add money to escrow for a project or to pay off a programmer.

In addition, they are next to impossible to get hold of when you need support – a company should not repeatedly ignore communication requests.

The frustration level of trying to use their services is great and thats an understatement!

Does anyone have any other suggestions for who to use?

Thanks

Dave

That’s too bad. Sorry to here about ScriptLance. There are SO MANY freelance websites today. Unfortunately, some of them appear to be a great place for freelancers. It’s another story once you start working with them.

Scriptlance is the worst Freelance site ever. If you are a service provider and are thinking of joining SL – DONT – I know – i have been a SL service provider and have been a victim of their harassment when they have to send payment. If you do join SL as a service provider – you will regret it some day as your payment withdrawal will be stuck for days – without giving you a reason – as you are a thief or a terrorist and a 100$ withdrawal will be used to blow up the UNO. The SL team and the owner are just paranoid schizophrenics and ARSEHOLES if you ask me.

Visiting different sites is a great way to find out which ones work for you.

I referred a friend to 99Designs.com and she won a graphic design contest. In fact, the client is looking to purchase three more design. If you’re a travel writer and “dabble” in graphic design, you may want to check them out:)

I’ll definitely check it out…..it’s good to have a few different sites to find writing jobs through…it can also be a good way to find contacts for future writing gigs.

I once did a writing job I found on eLance, and now still occasionally write for the employer outside of eLance – they pay me directly (no fees) – but you have to be sure to not violate any rules (so that you don’t get banned from that site).
