In my opinion, which I have dealt with Elance the most when I started my company with the name of SAGEHIVE SMC PVT Ltd. Elance supported me alot in providing me good handsome project which helped me, my team mate and my country to generate the revenue.
However, you can neglect the Hourly jobs because once the job is completed you have to hunt for more projects. This is undoubtedly, a great hectic situation for business development managers to generate more business for a company. Also, to meet the expenses of the company as well.
