Anyone use peopleperhour.com? ... interested to hear any comments
I've just joined it, funnily enough. I have just made my first bid but haven't done any jobs so too early to tell.
A couple of things I can say, though:
1. The application form/process is fiendishly complicated
2. I really, really don't like the way they expect you to use your real name (rather than a screen name) and a photo of yourself as your avatar. Though a lot of people get round it by not posting a photo at all. I've put a picture of a cat up, which will probably get me into trouble at some point!
Thanks ... Don't really have a problem with real name as from a quick look, people are asking reasonable money rather than the $1 for a weeks worth at some sites.
If I was going to employ someone and pay a decent wage, I don't think I would personally employ someone who had a penname or a picture that wasn't of them, though I do understand concerns about privacy but I suspect real names/pics get better results.
I don't understand the picture thingy. At all. I've sold £££ worth of stuff on eBay and elsewhere and nobody needed my picture - they had my feedback to go by!
Maybe it might be vaguely helpful to have a picture if someone is thinking of hiring a person to work onsite but for remote working? Nah. And most of the jobs on peopleperhour are one-off freelance assignments - it's not as if we're talking a full-time salary with pensions/benefits etc.
I'll have to take a better look at this later, it looks a lot like odesk which I've used in the past. I've used a lot of my work on HubPages as a way to get work on Odesk with much success. I'll keep you posted on whether I join this peopleperhour site and what I think. Thanks for the link!

A few months ago I posted some exciting news I had. I had been contacted by a celebrity's wife about writing articles for them for magazine publication. (this is the thread about all of that http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/47937 ) We did a lot of corresponding back and forth. She...

I hope I've put this in the right section. Reading people by their photographs.I've always wondered about this because it seems its something I'm able to do quite accurately at least for most people, so I've been told by those I've read. I don't predict futures or know intimate details of said...

When I add pictures to my hubs in an effort to improve them, they are huge! I don't see a way to change the size. We used to have Full, Half, and Quarter. What are we supposed to do now? I notice they get smaller if I put them to the right side of the hub, but that isn't where I always want them....

Hello. I've been researching Twitter recently but a lot of the information I've found seems to be dated several years ago already so I'd like to ask for some recent information. Is Twitter still a good site for backlinks and traffic? Is it really effective? Does it work?How many times a day should...
