I agree and disagree. Even though there are jobs being posted in need of freelancers for free, there are still a lot of projects/jobs being posted on sites where they pay really well. On my site, most of the jobs pay but we also have a process called Milestones which is how I got my project completed by a graphic designer. We also offer a rating system where freelancer is encouraged to write a review. Better yet, just check out my profile (www.Vois.com/jessieFigueroa). It might be easier to understand, but yes, I see where you are coming from. Well typed!
