The oDesk software is great. But I don't like that they force taking screen-shots for you to be paid. For one client (in finance industry) we had to disable screen-shots due to NDA and it caused all sorts of problems. But, yes, as others have said, it's hard to make a living if you're in a high-cost-of-living country. My rate on there is $100/hr. I get about 1 inquiry a month and maybe a few jobs a year from it. I did have one long-term job on there at $60/hr so I made it to the top %1 of devs though.
