I have given up on oDesk it seems to be impossible now to find anything that pays above $50. I have shifted my attention to Elance. Quality work,good pay, and more employees wanting Americans. Just insanely competitive. I got my first bid accepted after shelling out an extra $10 after using my first 10 connects. I made the money back but even with a good rating it is still difficult.
