Awesome list of jobs for the online worker, and you have the idea about each one which is great too.
This information is spot on and very helpful and thank you for sharing, I enjoy writing (have been doing professional interviews for 11 years) and think this might be my niche...thanks...Jeff
Thanks so much for sharing this information. HP is the first place I've written online and it's nice to know there are other options. It's been five months and I'm still enjoying the experience so I will probably be doing it for a while. It might be fun to venture into other writing sites so I appreciate the information. Voted up!

Hi, there.. most of all, I want to thank you for dropping by.. Well, I did some research on the sites above and found those sites the most wanted or shall I say most recommended freelance writing sites by users.. I have tried Odesk too but did not yet earn that much. Odesk is definitely free to use too.. I recently joined Elance for free..Still not familiar with it though..
Thanks again. Got to visit your site..
You don't have to pay for Elance. I have been writing for them for about 6 months now and there is no membership fee for the general membership. I've made about $300 on 5 jobs. I only do it part-time and the extra cash comes in handy.
Thanks for a very informative hub. I had an account with Elance and Guru a long time ago, but I gave it up. Because the way these two work, you pay for your membership in order to be able to bid on writing projects. iFreelance has the same format, but the membership fee is cheaper and I got more writing projects.
I joined Helium at about the same time I joined HP. I am still submitting works to Helium because approval is instantaneous. Quality control is stricter, but they don't let writers suffer. If they find that there is something wrong with the article, the fact checker brings it down and tactfully advises the writer to make the changes.
