@ Kristy: I have heard mixed reviews about that particular site. Some people have had success but other ones pay the fee to get job leads and are disappointed.

Newbie with a question. I’m trying to build up my portfolio so that I might get a return email on some of these leads. I was looking at gofreelance.com as a possible source to help with that. Anyone here have any dealings, advice, warnings about this particular company? If not through them, any advice on how to build the portfolio?

Thanks! You guys rock!

Oh how funny!! That’s great!

Freelance dating and sex are one thing. Getting *paid* to do them gets you into a whole different ballpark…

Makes the columnist job sound easy.

Remember Deb’s link of funnies leading to the headlines that could go both ways? This lead strikes me this way:

Freelance Dating/Sex Columnists

If I wasn’t married, I might consider freelance dating. Freelance sex sounds a little risky, though…

@ Erika and Del: There was one possibility (get paid to review adult films) but it only paid in ad revenue so I decided not to post it. You did get to keep the movies, though, so I guess that’s a plus! ;
