I am full time freelancer and always look at various outsourcing websites on the internet to grab work from. Sometimes you meet some people who you end up making long term relationships with and always get a steady stream of work, but that rarely happens. So you end up going back on the net again to look for the next project.
I find it fun, stimulating and a challenge for me creatively when faced with completely different clients all the time - although as life is sometimes the picture isn't too pretty. Nevertheless have a look at this site called Outsourcing.org which has features like directory listings, a forum and their new just released service for project auctions. The best part is that it is free to register and there are no fees or commission of any kind! When I saw it I couldn't believe it.
From .NET Jobs, Copywriting, Photography, Flash to Website Design the categories are vast for any person looking to put their Outsourcing Projects up for grabs and for a freelancer to browse through.
I think I am going to make this site my next favorite haunt to look for my next gig, after all who can beat no fees and commissions!
While there is no cost to become a member, Outsourcing.org offers
special paid membership options for express listing, featured placement
and other privileges - fair enough.

I would agree with you. There is little or few in numbers for such job-search sites that you had mentioned. Most require some form of deposit or ‘payment’ before you can enter the database. And, it is not a sure promise of getting what you paid for either. Others ‘pay-before-you-join’ programs are also plain scams to avoid.
Finally the first person to comment. You make some great points here. I was reading John Reese’s blog yesterday about building friendships and I see that you make a point in this post about building friendships and relationships. They are definitely important.
