Outsourcing Sites vs Crowdsourcing Sites

Market expansion for Freelancers

The established Freelancer sites odesk; elance; freelancer and peopleperhour don't cover the same projects as 99designs; innocentive; squadhelp and crowdspring. The last two cover service and/or product names, company names, web domain names and R&D Projects. Since freelancers write about these it seems worth the effort to learn what they are about and practice bidding for work and expand their market and income streams.

There are others who cover micro tasks, but pay scales are less since they are short in duration and simple to do. I am sure this is only scratching the surface and there are more sites out there, but these are the established ones and therefore the safest to go with and least you will get paid for successfully completing projects.
