I read this article with interest from the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/13/business/smallbusiness/13freelance.html?sq=elance&st=cse&scp=3&pagewanted=all.
In this tough economy, how many of us have considered turning to the web as a source of work? If you have the skillset of a professional but can’t find work in the traditional markets, why not consider leveraging some of your skills you’ve acquired over the years as a provider on Elance? And, if you are really ambitious but don’t have the skills, why not learn a skill and make money while you do it?
I know how to ace interview questions like the back of my hand and can whip out a snappy “Knock ‘Em Dead” resume in about 3 hours. I see some of those services being offered up for $300 or more. And it doesn’t take much for me to pick up a business proposals book from Barnes and Noble and offer up my services writing proposals as well after a little brushing up on the basics.
We all spend time on our blogs, why not also spend some time being paid to provide writing services for others? It might be even more lucrative than earning a few dollars on Adsense while blogging…

Indeed a great idea but cana an average blogger get a work in such places, if so we really paid for such work .
Great point. No only should people be spending some of their time posting up a blog or building an ebook that they can sell, but taking that knowledge and selling it.
