Yes it is, for one you get to apply to a few jobs if you are going for a free membership.

Still, Elance remains one of the famous freelancers’ site.

Thank you for the help. I think signing up for Elance is a bit complicated than oDesk. Oh well, I’m going to try and see if it will work out for me. Thanks again!

Whether you are in Elance or oDesk, it is still perfectly okay to accept work right away. Paypal and Payoneer accounts are simply withdrawal methods that work with many sites. Your earnings will simply be inside your account and you can decide to withdraw these later.

Hi Gem! I see that you also joined Elance. Can you help me out on this? I joined Elance a month ago and never completed a profile because I was just looking around, I also tried to bid on one project. Now, the employer sent me a message asking if I’m still interested. I do not have Escrow and still do not have an EON account to link into my paypal account. Is it ok if I accept the job? Will I still be able to get my money when I choose a payment method later? Thank you in advance!

Thanks! I’ve often met more Filipinos who are more into finding part-time jobs to earn additional income. It is easier to find these if you had developed enough skills and experience. Good luck!

This is a great heads up for me. I’m planning to try out Odesk and Elance and other freelancing sites. I’m not thinking of turning into a complete freelancer like you, I just would like some extra jobs.

Anyway, thanks. I’m glad I read your post.
