Mission: I Need Help With Elance “I dislike elance.com! this is my rant! can you help me?”
My name is Melissa…and this is my first mission..
(…in case you missed it, or just stumpled upon me…I’m on a mission to attain financial, physical and spiritual freedom….and I intend to share my findings and map for anyone else that has a passion to attain the same!! can you help me complete my mission?)
MISSION #1. Get WIN a freelancing bid on elance.com or guru.com
So here’s the deal…not to toot my own horn..but I have some SWEET marketing skills!
What I suck at it apparently marketing myself!!! Why is it sooooo hard? 
I want to make extra money (just like everyone else) doing things I love!
What I love:
Writing of all kinds…creative, technical, content, articles…the list goes on
All E-commerce stuff
Every facet of internet marketing!
long runs on the beach…(oh wait, worng place for that…oops)
So, I have recommmended to use elance.com and guru.com to acquire paying jobs….but I came across a little problem..
NO ONE accepts my bids..
wah wah poor me right?
<insert one streaming tear hear>
But I think my problem is that I dont know the “game.”
So I am reaching out to you, to help me find a way to win my first bid on elance.com.
1. With regards to my profile…
where do I start? what do I need to make sure I do?
2. I have never been paid, not once, so I have no history…how do I compete over people who are “freelancing professionals?”
3. What areas of elance.com are “underserved” where can I position myself where others may not (since I have a very broad spectrum of expertise).
Thanks for helping me with my first mission!

Get a real job.
Great idea! What exactly is a real job anyway?
Do you mean one of those where you make money for other people and they control your freedom and paycheck?
I am not sure what you mean by that?
Please explain! I’m all ears! And if you know where to find them in this economy I would be so happy for your help!
Again, I am looking to make extra money, on top of the career I already have, and I love do internet marketing projects like some women like to sew, shop, cook, knit or garden…its my hobby and I want to profit from it! Anyone have any other ideas on how to win bids on freelancing websites?
Melissas,
I have an independent marketing business that helps people with there health and helps you make money helping others. It is a business you can do from home on the internet or by phone. This is not a get quick scam so it will take more than a few internet conversations to describe what we have but it is very rewarding. If you are serious you can call me and set up about a 45 minute to an hour appointment to discuss what we have to offer and the rest is up to you. Our company has been in business for over 20 years and debt free and has over 9 patents and guarantees our products and business.
Send me an e-mail or call me if this is something that pecks your interest.

If you are looking at the handsome guy in the middle of the picture I am afraid my grandson is only looking at the business once he completes high school. I am the young guy on the left that looks 64 but feels 36 and runs 3 to 6 miles a day. I have lost 71 lbs in 7 months and retained the weight loss for the past year. I can give you the results of my liver disorder I received from a depression meds in 1980 and a few other positive side effects since I have been on our products. Korky
