    Job search sites: SoloGig.com
       May 30th, 2006

    Job search sites: SoloGig.comThe website we will talk about in this post is SoloGig.com. It claims to be:

    The nation’s leading freelance resource and home to more projects than any other contract website. With an average of 10,000 projects posted daily, you can find your next project today.

    CareerBuilder.com is behind of the project, SoloGig.com is a kind of their vertical subsidiary.

    To get access to their job bank, you need to sign up for their service and choose a type of membership.

    The service is not free and those who pay the subscription fee expect that they will really find a lot of freelance job listings. People realize that no employment service can guarantee you a job, but you expect to get some offers at least.

    Here comes the story of a person who signed up for SoloGig services:

    I was looking for some solo gigs and therefore thought SoloGig.com would be a great fit. I signed up and paid for the premium service – yes, paid cold, hard cash. While no one can promise you job listings down the street, or even in your own hometown, I expected to find something in the greater Southern Puget Sound region, and was sorely disappointed. Instead, what I noted was that few, if any, of the listings on SoloGig were actually freelance or contract jobs. Most were retreads of online jobs I’d seen elsewhere, and most of these were pretty old to boot. But as I took a look at these listings, and asked the engine to sort them by their posting date, I noted another anomaly: postings were supposedly taking place mere tenths of a second apart. This was true not just of one or two individual postings, but entire web pages full of listings. How was it possible that job listings I’d seen over a week or two ago elsewhere were supposedly fresh leads posted mere moments before on SoloGig? My contention, and one that was never denied in my correspondence with SoloGig.com, was that someone (or more properly a SQL script of some kind) was freshening the listings to make it look like SoloGig had all kinds of new postings.

    I found it odd that they would lag so far behind them in re-posting this data if they were simply sharing it. I decided it was time to Google SoloGig and see what complaints were out there (something I should have done in the beginning). Lo and behold, others had noticed similar issues, and most reported problems with billing and refunds. Well, eventually I had had enough of my time with SoloGig and asked for a refund. I was ready to duke it out with the billing department, but, to my great relief, my refund was posted within 24-hours of receiving my cancellation notice.

    The morale of the story is that one should not trust the statements of any freelance job site that charges for its services: no matter how good their site looks and what job samples it lists on the home page trying to make you get your credit card and join them.

    - Start with checking Google for the feedback of happy/ unhappy past customers.

    - Even if you decide to jump into the boat make sure they guarantee you a full refund in case you are not happy with their service.

    As the story proves most listed freelance jobs were available from other free sources: it points to the fact that even such ‘big boys’ like CareerBuilder.com have no access to some exclusive database of freelance jobs not available to other market players. I conclude that smaller players of work from home job market offer even worse job listings and charge a fee for their services. It is not a secret that the top place to get freelance and home jobs is CraigsList.org and classified ads. Plus a few other good places that you can spot checking the listings at free freelance sites.

    So if you know where freelance job sites get their listings from why would you pay for this?

    Freelance jobs: check list
       May 29th, 2006

    As a freelancer you were lucky to spot a customer who says he wants you to do the work. And you have found the customer with no help on the part of freelance sites (that fact could be an extra guarantee that your job will be paid).

    The next step is no less important than the process of the freelance vacancy search. This step is called negotiations. You need to get as many details as possible to make sure:

    -    you will cope with it,
    -    the job is legitimate,
    -    you will get paid for it once you are through with the work.

    Questionnaire (ask your new customer):

    1.    Describe the job in details for you to get the client’s expectations
    2.    Deadline
    3.    Communication: how will you contact the client if you have questions
    4.    Job acceptance procedure
    5.    Payment: how much, what method (check, cash, credit card, PayPal, etc) and when. Try to get 10-30% advance payment.
    6.    Will your expenses be covered?
    7.    A written agreement: will you sign any kind of?

    Once you get the answers you have to ask yourself:

    1.    Are you satisfied with the client’s answers
    2.    Will you enjoy this freelance job
    3.    Do you have enough skills and time to complete it in time and properly
    4.    Is payment rate acceptable
    5.    If it is quite low, is there any chance that the client will become your regular and raise the pay in the future
    6.    Are you confident of the client’s intention to pay you?
    Can you check his background in some way

    You should accept this freelance job only in case you feel comfortable with the answers to the above questions. Do not let your emotions interfere with the decision making process. If the job sounds too good to be true then… It is a good idea to ask someone you trust of their opinion.

    Freelance writing
       May 28th, 2006

    Are you good at writing? Many websites and blogs are in need of copy writers that will help them keep their online projects updated. They can ask you to re-write news stories or develop unique articles on some very specific topics. The pay differs accordingly. Do not be scared if you need to write articles on specific topics – you can make online research or at the library and at the end to produce a nice piece of content. Initially, no doubt, you need some practice, but with time you will feel more confident.

    If your customer likes the result you are likely to get your freelance job on a long-term basis – websites and blogs need fresh content all the time.

    The rates are different. I have seen a craigslist.org ad where they promised 10.00$ per article (do not remember the details and the requirements) and I have seen an ad at sitepoint.com where a guy was looking for people to re-write news for miserable .25$ a piece. Though he said that every news was 3-4 sentences long and there was no limit – you could produce 100-1000 edited news per day (I am not sure there are so many daily news in any sector).

    Good places to start your search of freelance writing opportunities are:

    Freelance sites: see the list of freelance job sites
    Webmaster Forums (i.e. DigitalPoint.com, SitePoint.com and the like)
    Craigslist and other classifieds sites
    BloggerJobs, BlogIt, WriteLance and similar sites that focus on this sort of jobs.
