Top 5 Freelancing Sites:

If you are thinking about freelancing these are the top five freelancing site. I do have my personal experience on Odesk….whatever. If you are using internet and does have the capability and time so why not make it count? Here I am putting some brief introduction (collected) about these site. Have a look. 

ODESK:

Odesk is one of the best freelance site to find freelance works with a lot of projects to bid. However, in order to start bidding for projects, you need to pass the oDesk readiness test; the said test is free to take. For those who failed, you can take the test again for free after one month. Once you are a certified oDesk ready, you can start bidding for projects. Your free basic membership comes with an allocation of 5 bids per month. However, you can also increase your allowable bids up to a maximum of 20 bids per month by passing more skills test. Each skill test passed increases your allowable bids by 5 more per month. Hence, you need to pass at least 4 skills tests in order to maximize your allowable bids of 20 per month. All skills tests are free. At oDesk, payments can either be based on hourly rate or per project rate; and transactions can be secured with escrow.

ELANCE:

Elance is a great freelance site to start your online career, with a lot of opportunities to bid for quality projects at a higher rate. It is free to join and your basic free membership comes with 3 free connects or bid counts per month that allows you to bid for projects under one category only. Each job posted at Elance have their corresponding connect/s required to bid depending on the quality of the project. Usually, projects below $500 budget requires only 1 connect. $500-$1000 project budget requires 2-3 connects; and projects with more than $1000 budget requires more than 3 connects. You may upgrade your membership in order to acquire more connects and increase your job categories to apply. One good thing about Elance is that it offers more than a hundred skills test for free to improve your profile.

2010 update: Good news, starting this year 2010, Elance increased the number of Free Connects from 3 each month to 10 free connects per month. This means that you can now apply to more jobs; as well as apply for high paying jobs as a free member.

Happy bidding and good luck.
