Are there any freelance programmers here? I've tried to break into it, but I'm having a lot of trouble getting past the teams and companies that undercut my prices. That, and there are always so many job listings on those freelance sites, that are simply advertisments so that they can find a really cheap person out of the people who bid. A lot of jobs have just been closed without a purchase, because they got one of the bidders to work independently.
The easiest way to get a quick programming job is to go on few big webmaster forums and spy there regularly for jobs which other members may offer. Web design, small or big website changes, logo/banner/header contests are running on daily basis. $10 - $100 are usual prizes.
In this forum job offers can be put in "Looking for hire" category. Or in "sell" category if you are looking for job.
