I found the same thing when I registered with guru.com. There are hundreds of jobs with a budget of $500 or less, and precious few worth bidding on. All my work comes from contacts--current and former clients, colleagues, and the like. There is a downside to outsourcing, though. I've worked on two major projects, one for Disney and one for Sesame Street, that were initially outsourced overseas. Both projects were eventually deemed substandard, and completely re-written in-house. I'm not saying the programmers overseas are substandard--I've worked with some fine Chinese and Indian programmers (even some good Europeans ;-) There are so many problems with time differences, cultural differences, expectations, and a host of other issues that it often costs more to send something overseas.
