Has any one registered his or her name with Elance? I registered with the site. In the beginning itself I was very active and wanted to write and earn as quickly as possible. But it gave me utter disappointment. The site asked me to participate in the Bid which I never liked at all . It is nothing but exploitation of the hard work of the writers. Why should I participate in the bid and take away the opportunity of others by giving lowest bid? After a month or so the site introduced a noel scheme , of course in their opinion informing that I can become an elite writer by paying some amount. I got very angry with the site and even stopped visiting that site. Do you have such experience with that site/any other site?
