Pingback: A Look Behind the Outsourcing Curtain
Pingback: My Copywriter Underground Blog Chosen as One Of “Internet’s Top 40 Freelance Writer’s Blogs” | Chandler Writes. You Profit.
Great list here. Although I am yet to see a post here in Odesk blog commending sites according to specific regions or countries. I believe that this will truly inspire more people from all walks of life to appreciate the potentials of the Internet and how Odesk is positioned to help these potentials a lot more reachable. The site http://earnonlinephilippines.blogspot.com/ actually wants to train freelancers from the Philippines the ins and outs of Odesk, promoting this online marketplace seriously and sincerely.
