Following the Footsteps

One of the best ways of all to leverage your Elance experience is to learn from those who have already succeeded. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. If you pay attention to those before you who’ve made it work, you can shortcut your own learning curve. While everyone’s situation is different, many tools, techniques, and mindsets will be transferable to your own situation.

BEST PRACTICES

As you grow your business on Elance, you will develop your own network of Elancers that you can exchange ideas and best practices with. Nurture these relationships for both what you can teach and what you can learn.

Following are the stories and circumstances of several clients and contractors who’ve found extraordinary success with Elance. Many more stories exist, but each of these carries something that I hope you can learn from and apply to your own virtual work world.
