Guru.com

Guru.com is a great freelancing web site. Launched in 2000, it provides a platform to connect and perform transactions with freelance professionals locally, nationally and globally. This service provides employers an opportunity to find the best professionals for completing their projects. Professionals get an outlet to sell their services for good reward and recognition.

I found Guru service much better than Elance. While Elance is purely a subscription service, Guru is partially free. One can create a free basic account with Guru, search for any open projects and proceed to submit bids.On Guru web site, work is allotted after bidding.

Employers post their projects on this web site and then professionals send their bids in the form of proposals. Employers review these bids and proposals and select a professional who they think is best suited to perform the job.

Compensation is very good and some projects may earn you in thousands. If you have good skills, you can virtually make thousands in a month.

Guru has different membership plans. In their free version, only 10 bids per month are allowed. Moreover, only a select group of projects are open to them The paid members get more projects and exposure. If anyone wants to test the waters first, then he should try their basic free membership.

Guru definitely deserves a try if one is serious in making money online. It is one of the finest freelance programs on the Internet and is open internationally.
