- graeme 12y agoI originally went with someone on elance. She did well, but then did something weird (deleted her work email account when she thought she had been hacked). This made me not trust her. I decided to go with someone I already knew. I know a bunch of people age 18-25 who are interested in picking up extra work. (I teach standardized tests, that age group is my target market). I asked one I already knew and trusted. All around north america, college grads and students are looking for work and work experience. If you can filter well, you can find excellent, affordable workers. They'll move on eventually of course.
