It seems to me that most of the postings on this list are by people who want
to pay $5 an hour for "it won't take you long" kind of work.
I'm interested to know if anyone here has gotten any decent projects from
this list? If not, it may be worthwhile trying to figure out how to get the
idea across that this list consists of professionals with professional level
experience and pricing.
OR...
Here's another angle, just to be devil's advocate: I have no idea how many
people are on this list or where they're from, but it's very possible that
there are many subscribers from countries where the cost of living is lower
so the prices are lower, like India and some of Eastern Europe. I think that
we have to take them into account, and the fact that cheap job postings
benefit two sides: the people seeking help who have minimal budgets; and the
people who are happy to get this type of work and feel that it is worth
their while.
