5 great freelance sites for developers
The following are five great websites that I have found for freelance work. This is for mostly programming/development, which includes PHP and many other languages.
Rentacoder is good place to find small to mid-sized projects for earning extra money. It also offers a rating system which can hurt or help you depending on your work.
Odesk is a little bit different than the rest of the sites listed here. Instead of bidding on projects, you bid on hours. Employers can list the amount of hours/week and # of weeks they need out of a potential freelancer.
Craigslist is great because there is no barrier to entry for either the employer or the potential freelancer/employee (it is also among the top sites on the Internet). This can also be a detriment because anyone with a computer can post a job listing.
4) http://programmermeetdesigner.com/
A unique website that provides an opportunity for programmers to meet and work with designers.
Guru.com is a clean and professional website that has lots of large-scale projects. It also has a fairly high barrier to entry for the employers, which usually means better paying jobs.

Does anyone get a significant amount of work through any of these? any other recommendations out there?
Yeah, rentacoder gets me some regular work. I haven’t used it for a while as I have my regular client base in London but it is very handy for when you have nothing and need some money. It just doesn’t pay as well as a local job.. well, for me anyway.
I’m surprised scriptlance wasn’t mentioned on the list. That website is pretty active.
http://programmermeetdesigner.com is in no doubt a unique website. I have done well there. I also visit http://www.freelancerresource.com regularly. It is growing fast.
I don’t agree with you. Rentacoder will not be the best freelance site. There are many other sites which are better than Rentacoder.
Freelancer.com, Scriptlance.com and many other best sites are there. For more suggestions
