And yes, I too have learned not to take projects out of a freelance site for the same reason you cited above. I'm glad to hear that you have had success with oDesk. I have steered away from them because I get a very uneasy feeling when reading that they see everything on my computer. Thank you for a great article - well worth the read. :) Hi Louie, Yes, there are many supposed buyers out there that are just itching to take advantage of not only writers, but any of the independent contractor fields that you might bid for.
