Holy moley, there are people offering $3.00 for 500-word articles. (That's $3, not $300.) And there are numerous people bidding for these "plum" assignments. But then again, they are leaving comments such as the following with their bids...

Hi. You can be assured that the articles will be well written and without grammatical errors. I will stick by my words, thats an assurance to you.Looking forward to working on this project. Thanks

... so I guess you get what you pay for.

I know. It's rather sad. I've never joined any of the bid sites and whenever I'm tempted, I Google "elance" or "guru" and then ultimately decide against it.

That said, I know of at least a few people who've made very good money with Elance projects.

Some of that stems from outsourcing, too.
