Rant away, I’m looking forward to it!

A friend of mine who uses Elance continued to bid as she usually did, not changing a thing. Her rate of reward so far is 1:7, just like stated on Elance as the average.

Did she face less competition? No. Are the projects posted any better? Nope. Has her rate of award gone up or down? (Elance predicted up…)

Nope. Same shit; different day.

My rant on this subject will resume tomorrow. I have yet to place a single bid since the restructure was implemented.

The race to the bottom continues. Folks, it’s time to stake out your own territories and chase your own clients — not sit around and wait for the bargain hunters to seek you out.

Really.

And thanks for the good reportage on this issue. I’ve been following it.
