It is decent list, what is interesting for me is discovery of OnSite, I really like this idea. I think it helps that it doesn't charge a percentage.

Can add Folyo - http://www.folyo.me/ - to the #creative list. Good effort on the site; bookmarked for later when it comes time to do outbound. :)

A note to starting freelancers: Stop using these sites as soon as possible. Build your portfolio and figure out how to get your own clients. Giving someone else 20% for finding…

The people that sign quarter/half/million dollar checks aren't posting to YunoJuno. Get out a meet the people that matter in the companies you want to work for.

Any suggestions what a dev portfolio should look like? Most of my work is corporate enterprise. I have a side project, so that code I can share, but I don't have an open github…

I decided to answer the question, "What kinds of projects do I want to work on?" I am slowly building a small suite of applications around the answer. In my case, I prefer…

is there a site (or market) for Linux sysadmin freelance work?

Can anyone vouch for any of these sites? Do the curated sites have a lot of hoops to jump through?

Which are the best sites for e.g. product managers, rails devs, etc to list themselves on? (Not asking you to tell me, asking you to design the software so I don't waste time…

http://OnSite.io doesn't charge any percentage, it's completely free for both sides. When it does start charging it will be on a SAAS basis for the hiring side.

Co-founder of YunoJuno here. I thought I'd chip in on a general point (I won't attempt to answer specifics here as I think that's probably inviting trouble for someone like me,…

You should either take Toptal off that list or mention that their contract is outrageously one-sided with no negotiation.

People echo this every single time. Let me give a counterpoint. I use oDesk.com for freelancing and I don't have to worry about billing at all. I just log my hours and go on…

It's a good point - maybe this is a gap in the market? There are posts re freelance sysadmins on the big sites like Freelancer.com and Guru but not much else I can find.

Thanks for this. I got accepted into Gun.io, looks pretty neat! The clients there have some good budgets. Looks like it's time for me to start getting paid properly for my…
