Personally I have had significantly better results with oDesk.com instead of freelancer.com. I don't know exactly what it is, but it feels like they have better values, and thus better clients.

A key point, that was a breakthrough in my career, was when I launched my new cool and modern website explaining services and portfolio. Then I started to receive random clients interested in my values.

What I am sure is that you need to build a portfolio. If you don't like freelancer.com for that, try with little personal side projects, open source projects, or doing work for friends for free/low prices.

Re:LinkedIn ‘Intro’duces Insecurity on Thursday October 24, 2013 @09:41PM (#6609270)
Seems like Linkedin have posted an update on http://engineering.linkedin.com/mobile/linkedin-intro-doing-...:

Update, 10/24/13

We wanted to provide additional information about how LinkedIn Intro works, so that we can address some of the questions that have been raised. There are some points that we want to reinforce in order to make sure members understand how this product works:

- You have to opt-in and install Intro before you see LinkedIn profiles in any email. - Usernames, passwords, OAuth tokens, and email contents are not permanently stored anywhere inside LinkedIn data centers. Instead, these are stored on your iPhone. - Once you install Intro, a new Mail account is created on your iPhone. Only the email in this new Intro Mail account goes via LinkedIn; other Mail accounts are not affected in any way. - All communication from the Mail app to the LinkedIn Intro servers is fully encrypted. Likewise, all communication from the LinkedIn Intro servers to your email provider (e.g. Gmail or Yahoo! Mail) is fully encrypted. - Your emails are only accessed when the Mail app is retrieving emails from your email provider. LinkedIn servers automatically look up the "From" email address, so that Intro can then be inserted into the email.

Ask HN: Suggestions about "remote" sharing startups

Hi. I am a freelance web developer. Last week I started working with a guy who is looking to build the core team for his startup (initially he just need a tech man who develop the app from scratch). We have good connection, so I joined to the project as the CTO. I am charging for this project the third part of I usually charge, but he also offer me the 15% of sharing, so I finish agreeing.The...

I tested it but I would like to know alternatives because it requires PHP and my project is under Ruby.

Ask HN: User Documentation solution?

I have to make a "microsite" under my application with documentation about it.The concept must be very similar to any "programming project" style.. (codex.wordpress.org, guides.rubyonrails.org, docs.shopify.com/themes): I have to teach users how to do some tasks.I started generating Markdown files and parsing them as html but I realized that the scope is a bit larger: I have to handle sidebar...

Great work! Needless to say, you have to play listening to Pink Floyd?

Why Y Combinator News is so popular?

Sometimes newbie questions are the most interesting , it isn't this case, but let's see what happen.The point is that I can't understand why Hacker News has so success.. Design is very poor and seems like 90's websites, the submit form is saddest of all the web. Social interaction is almost zero, is an involution of forums (which we know that they went out of fashion).I know that I has some...
