oDesk contractor recommendations...
 

Does anyone have any recommendations for oDesk contractors to help with some blog building and updating? If so I would like to chat with you about it. I am having a hard time finding someone that fits the need to be honest. If you could just tell me to contact you if so then I would greatly appreciate it! ;)

You can contact me. [email protected]

None... odesk is usually terrible

Will email you now. Thanks.

Any other place you recommend?

I started off on oDesk when I first began freelancing, and still use it to receive job offers.

If you are looking for the cheapest rate possible and are alright with a mediocre level of work, you'll be able to post a job and find those type of freelancers applying. You can get them dirt cheap - less than a penny a word, sometimes $0.005 or lower. It's great for cheap keyword stuffing - nothing with readability, though.

If you want higher quality contractors, you are best keeping the job private and seeking out contractors to invite through their search system. Most of the better freelancers on oDesk don't actively seek out jobs - they get employers approaching them. You're going to pay, though. Don't expect to get a native English speaker with a good track record for less than a penny a word. Realistically, you're looking at least $0.02 and up.

This is the case with writers - I would assume it's pretty much the same for any contractor on freelancing sites.
