elance and rentacoder
Yes, stringing words together helps but you really need more skills if you are going to work on elance. I just hired someone on elance to write a report. The content was great but I had to fix the grammar in the entire 20 page report. Almost every sentence had either a mistake or awkward wording. My God, I have never seen someone use so many semicolons. There must have been one per sentence on average in the document.
Anyway, I was responding to your post about elance and rac(rentacoder). These are great sites and yes you can make money selling coding services plus you can make money as a buyer of services. I hire people to write software for me all of the time. I get a good idea, hire someone to make the program, then sell it on my website. It is a great system for everyone.
There are some problem people on these sites. Some are just scmmers trying to trick you into giving them access to your server, or lying about their abilities hoping to get a big paying job and do enough work to get part of the money. You do need to know how to avoid these guys.
If you are a buyer of services, then you need to know how to spot bad coders beforeyou give them a job, give away your idea, or send them your existing source code. It can be done. You can find a list of things to check before hiring a coder at rent-a-coder.y3s.net
They also have a great manual that explains how to hire coders or how to get hired as a coder.
rentacoder is aimed more at coders and web designers and elance is more heavy with writers and sound video people. Both have extensive offering categories though.
