If you get connected with a good partner, you can get guaranteed payments on hourly rates and have the money directly deposited into your banking account. Obviously; don't bid on jobs that pay $2 an hour. You have to wonder what kind of boss only pays $2 an hour :-) Finding the right work and salary can be challenging, but it's worth it to get supplementary income in times like this.

[google-appengine] Re: cooperate with top Google Apps Engine developer
Here here. I can share a funny story I once built a phone system for someone that wanted to set up a 900 number (remember those?) so you can call in and pay two dollars a minute to listen to samples of some New Age music catalog (think Enya or something even more awful). It was quite possibly the stupidest idea I had ever encountered, but the client was blindly unaware of just how much their idea sucked. I remember one of them saying, and this is a direct quote I will remember all the way to the grave, We smell gold here, and we have the right mining equipment. Right. I was just out of college and desperate for cash, so I did the job, but I left a timer in my code so if I didn't call in within 90 days with a secret code to unlock it, it would stop working. Sure enough, the client didn't pay, and right on schedule, I got an angry call from one of them complaining about a database error message, to which I replied that the system appeared to be working perfectly. They went through several more developers, and needless to say, did not go on to build iTunes. So a bit of advice for people here who are thinking of renting themselves out. There are plenty of established companies that are intrigued by cloud computing, have professional management, and the means to pay and pay well to prototype things. If I were building a consulting business that's where I would focus my efforts. The economy may be really bad now, but this is one area where companies can save a lot of money, and the number of people working in this domain is still pretty small. That's where you want to be in a recession, not working on commission for a startup which will more than likely fail (especially in this economy). My two cents...

Hi Waldemar, I'm a developer myself and used Elance to hire App Engine Developers due my lack of expirience with Python and tight schedule. A project ($100) was completed on time and I was happy with the work. So I would say it quite possible to find someone for reasonable price and acceptable quality. Here is my orignial feedback with link to profiles of the developers I liked if anyone interested: http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_thread/thread/6af4a2f60fb95084/227a9f8812a5bca8?lnk=gstq=elance#227a9f8812a5bca8 -- Alex On Mar 7, 1:29 pm, Waldemar Kornewald wkornew...@gmail.com wrote: On Mar 6, 10:18 am, Ben beruss...@gmail.com wrote: On Mar 6, 12:30 am, dalenewman dalenew...@gmail.com wrote: Alex, You should use oDesk (www.odesk.com) for this.

You're asking people to volunteer their help, but rather than give them details of what you're expecting them to do, you want them to submit THEIR information, so you can screen them? A bit presumptuous, don't you think? Not to mention bass-ackwards.
