Title: So I submitted a few gigs to freelance sites like Odesk, freelancer.com, elance etc. I used the handy guide provided by Derek Sivers on how to write up a good "help wanted" ad.<p>I was looking for a skilled designer to produce a simple UI.<p>After about 2 minutes, I received around 8 applications on odesk and freelancer.com. By the end of the day, I had around 40 applications in total.<p>Problem is: almost all of them sucked. Very disappointing indeed.<p>Has anyone out there actually found a good designer / developer on one of these freelance sites? Care to share tips?
