Except you have to make sure they don't pay you in tickets!- GuerillaC, on 03/28/2008, -0/+11Wanted: One animatronic, pizza loving web developer willing to accept tokens as payment.
- xythian, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5To add to #5, services-in-kind can be as useful as cash payment. Perhaps trading web redesign for ad creatives, ad space, food, software, etc. Of course you still want this as part of a contract, but remember there's more to economic transactions than cash.
- perot9296, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3Those 5 places wont give good results. eBay? Come on.
- centran, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1That is what I thought but then I clicked on the links. Apparently people are doing it.

- stinkypyper, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1I'll throw in a good one. If you looking for some gravy *****-the-dog all day corporate career remember that most big companies have their own sites for hiring. They don't use standard channels. So just keep looking at whatever bank, telco, etc... job site to see updates.

- Nekura20x6, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5You'd be surprised how many "escorts" are willing to trade services for web design...
- getjustin, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2As if "Make a logo for $19!" websites haven't done enough to freelance designers, some people are selling their trade on eBay?
"Hey this logo sucks!" "Well, you only bid $3" - joshuajonah, on 03/28/2008, -1/+0Kirupa.com, Craigslist.com, Kijiji. Nuff said.

Seriously though, I work in the adult industry and there is a MASSIVE shortage of good designers and developers.- joshuajonah, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3And a massive amount of work you don't really want on your port.
- mrgoat, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1Sure, so don't put it on your portfolio. Take the money and run.
- pitlord, on 03/29/2008, -1/+1That's what you get for only paying $10-15/hr while the execs are raking in millions.
>.>- mrgoat, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1I will happily pay a good dev or designer 50-100 bucks an hour if they are good and reliable. You do not know what you are talking about.
