Guru.com anybody?

I've been searching around all of the career websites lately looking for freelance jobs, but it's hard to market as a freelancer to companies looking for permanent positions.

I even constantly browse Craig's List to see what kinds of freelance help wanted ads are being posted. I apply to many, but I only get very few responses.

Enter Guru.com. You have to pay a hefty price - $75 for a quarter of a year -- but there seems to be a lot of people looking for freelancers. The cost would definitely be deductable as a business expense, but is the service worth the price? Will I make the money back, and quick?

me too, i applied to SO MANY gigs on craigslist and have only gotten one replied back and that one reply sounds like a scam to me, so i just ignored it.

i signed up with guru with the free account, but no employers want to work with someone who has a free account.

I have employed a couple people from that site. One didn't do any work, and the other worked out very well and I use them constantly now. It can be hit or miss from my side, but I have no experience using it from your side.
