So I got this email in the mail and I'm sure it's a scam but I just wanted to see what everyone else thought (or if they've received it as well) :

Do they charge you to join?
If not, you've got nothing to lose!

wow, that takes me back.
Years ago I was 90% close to launching my own freelancers portal. Problem is they're a disease ridden hotbed for undercutters and peopel that generally suck at what they do.
My advice is to stay away unless you want to work for lollypops and wooden nickels.

Thanks for the feedback. I wouldn't generally like to put my work on these sites but then when you need some quick money....
Never heard of Guiu.com, but it looks a helluva lot better than iFreelance.com
Cheers

(Oct 24 05, 22:15)sounds like you'll get undercut by 15 year olds and people willing to work for $2hr.

I used to like guru about 5 years ago. I got my first large project from it. It paid well too. Then the site got more complicated and wasn't worth using anymore IMO. I don't know what it's like now. I thought it was shut down a while back.

All of these sites are bullshit. You have to underbid EVERYONE even if you are 50000 times better than all of them combined....so you'll end up doing a logo for $50 when you should be charging 10 times that at the minimum....plus you'll have to promise like 8 rounds of included revisions and your first born. Most of the people on these sites have NO CLUE what they are doing....this includes both clients and "designers". I guess its good if you are a design student who is still in school and you don't care about getting raped so you can add to your portfolio.

tellin' it like it is designaked. i agree with you that these sites are all kind of bullshit but they are tempting in a strange way.
appreciate the discussion.
