Freelance job sites review

Freelance job sites reviewCompetition

Now onto competition. Gigbucks is a smaller site with less sellers. While Elance has more sellers and is bigger, there remains the question if that is actually beneficial for users. In this area, I would have to say that the bigger pool of competition poses an obstacle for sellers. Because there are so many more sellers on Elance, it makes it more difficult for people looking for work to actually get the jobs they are posting. On Gigbucks, the seller is much more likely to obtain customers.

Quality

The quality of gigs and talent in both Gigbucks and Elance have shown to be the same. Both have great ratings on the services that are offered on their site and have great customer satisfaction and approval. Both Gigbucks and Elance also have no-obligation buyer protection that prevents buyers from losing money.

Services Offered

Gigbucks and Elance both offer an array of services. Buyers can find whatever they are looking for on both sites from social media marketing to video editing. Elance has more international traffic on their site whereas Gigbucks has a higher percentage of traffic from within the United States.

Support

In the area of user support, Gigbucks and Elance show a notable difference. To compare the speed and quality of support between the two sites, I submitted the question “How can I change my user name?” to each site. Elance took 13 hours to respond, and Gigbucks only took four. Because Elance is a much bigger site, they do not have the high standard quality of user support that Gigbucks has.

The overall review of Elance versus Gigbucks shows that both freelance sites offer great quality and are easy to use. However in my experience, I prefer the set pricing that Gigbucks offers making their services cheaper and the better quality of user support. My overall experience using Gigbucks was better because the site is smaller, easier to use and cheaper. Learn more about freelance job site Gigbucks.

Endless Cash with Gigbucks.com

Posted on May 27, 2013 by Tara

Endless Cash with Gigbucks.comThanks to Gigbucks.com my spare time has turned into cool, hard cash! I get to pick and choose the “gigs” that I want to perform, whether it is . Customers place their order, I complete the “gig” and get paid! I love it; I don’t think there is an easier way to make money online out there.

So far things have went well. In my eight months of using the site I seemed to have an order or two each day. I can complete my gigs fairly quickly, so it adds up to a nice little chunk of change at the end of every week as Gigbucks also allows me to set my own prices! I choose an amount between $5 and $50, depending on the gig.

See, it works like this. You have a talent; customers need that talent. You never know just what someone may be willing to pay you to provide to them. Some of the “gigs” I have seen on the website include translations, programming, creating beats, SEO services, completing surveys and much more. The possibilities are really endless. As for me, I have done a few different “gigs” on Gigbucks, all with great success in the end. I’ve sang and recorded songs on video tape, written blogs and eBooks and even marketing.

I only work on Gigbucks a couple of hours now and again! It is the perfect part-time job that most anyone with a computer and Internet connection can complete. Gigbucks.com is helping me make my Hawaii dreams come true even faster! It is so exciting being able to earn money that I can put to the side for the fun stuff! Of course the money that is earned can be used for anything! You can work full-time if you wish, with unlimited possibilities in the amount you can make.

Die Malediven, Taucherparadies ganzjährig

Posted on May 22, 2013 by Tara

Die Inselkette der Malediven liegt im Indischen Ozean, in direkter Nachabrschaft zu Sri Lanka. Von den 1196 Inseln sind 220 bewohnt und 90 für den Tourismus geeignet. Die Malediven gelten mit unzähligen Korallenriffen und großem Fischreichtum als das Taucherparadies. Früher eher ein Urlaubsziel für gutsituierte Urlauber, sind heute doch die Flüge durchaus auch für den Normalverdiener erschwinglich.

Für mich als Taucher sind die Malediven das Traumziel für einen Tauchurlaub. Das Klima ist ganzjährig tropisch warm und das Wasser hat die ideale Tauchtemperatur zwischen 26 und 28 Grad. Auf den Malediven gibt es nicht die typische Regen- und Trockenzeit. Am besten informieren Sie sich über das Klima auf den Malediven bei Wetter auf den Malediven nach.

Die Niederschläge auf den Malediven können ganzjährig auftreten, kommen aber eher oft abends und nachts vor. Auch wenn dann die Luftfeuchtigkeit bis zu 80% betragen kann, bemerkt man dies kaum. Vom Ozean her, weht immer ein leichter Wind. Allerdings muss man zwischen Mai und Oktober mit vertstärtem Niederschlag rechnen. Mit nur 6 Sonnenstunden täglich und starken Monsumwinden und einem hohem Wellengang sind es keine idealen Tauchbedingungen, doch weiter draußen auf dem Wasser immer noch interessant und durchaus machbar. Zwischen November und April ist eher eine trockenere Zeit und die etwas kühlere Reisezeit. Die Wassertemperatur hat für Taucher dann angenehme 28 Grad und die Außentemperatur nie unter 26 Grad. In diesem Zeitraum sind die Malediven das ideale Reiseziel für Taucher. Die Inseln haben die wunderbarsten Strände, weißer Sand und Palmen so weit das Auge reicht. Die Unterwasserwelt der Malediven ist noch viel beeindruckender. Die Angebote einen Tauchtrip zu unternehmen oder das Tauchen zu erlernen sind vielfältig. Alle Tauchschulen und Tauchboote sind qualitativ ausgezeichnet und das zu wirklich günstigen Preisen.
Mein Tauchurlaub auf den Malediven war so erlebnisreich und einzigartig, dass eine Wiederholung bereits in Planung ist.

Instabook? Facegram? How Will This Merger Play Out?

Posted on May 19, 2013 by Tara

Instagram, the photo application giant, has had a monumental week. Last Friday, Instagram launched the Android version of its application in the Google Play store and racked up over one million downloads by day’s end. On Monday, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and founder of Facebook, announced that the social network was purchasing the photo application for an estimated one billion dollars in a deal to be closed early this summer.

Instagram was initially released in Apple’s App Store in the Fall of 2010. It quickly became popular because of the unique lense effects which transform everyday, ordinary mobile pictures into artsy, surreal, vintage, and seemingly professional photos. In addition to the camera effects, Instagram also boasts a social media feed which revolves around users’ pictures. Sharing photos, following friends and other users, and posting the creations to other social media networks has created a loyal following for the application.

Mark Zuckerberg and Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom intend for the merger to make both media applications even stronger. According to Zuckerberg, Facebook wants to use its resources in order to strengthen Instagram independently, as well as “offer the best experiences” for sharing mobile photos with others.

With the announcement of any merger, critics and skeptics tend to speak as loudly as the supporters. In this case, some people are wondering why a media titan like Facebook would spend a billion dollars to purchase a company with nine employees and virtually zero profit. Some believe that Facebook is concerned that the rise in popularity of Instagram threatens to upset Facebook’s corner on the photo-sharing market. Others believe the acquisition of the photo-sharing application means that Facebook will eventually incorporate, brand, steamroll, and otherwise kill the uniqueness and originality of Instagram.

Zuckerberg and Systrom insist that Instagram will retain its independence and the features which have given rise to its popularity. Ultimately, users of Facebook, Instagram, or both will simply have to wait and see. Check out this Facebook buys Instagram video on Youtube.

Facebook Purchased Instagram to Compete with Google Plus

Posted on May 10, 2013 by Tara

While I believe that Facebook’s original intent and motives are pure in the purchasing of Instagram, I am concerned that the outcome will negatively affect Instagram and its users. For a 1 billion dollar purchase, Mark Zuckerberg claims that he really plans to use Instagram’s strengths and not incorporate it into Facebook. I, along with many others, are concerned for Instagram. Instagram had really just started to take off and become popular. In addition to being easy to use, it is also a really good app for photo sharing. It seems as though Facebook is making some drastic attempts to compete with Google Plus (the new and rapidly growing competitor of Facebook). Facebook might just be copying Google Plus, who recently bought a photo sharing site called Picnik. But either way, I think that Facebook deserves a fair chance to prove themselves. Facebook always seems to listen to its users, by changing settings, adding features, and notifying us of changes to its policy. Just like any company it is seeking to survive and Facebook decided to take a chance with Instagram. I think we ought to give Facebook a chance and see if they succeed. They have already made the purchase, maybe they will continue to allow users to comment and take those into consideration. And if they do what they promised it sounds as though Instagram will remain a separate entity from Facebook and still allow users to post to other social media sites that are not Facebook. It could be that Instagram is not going to change at all, and it could even get better. We might as well give it a chance, and if it turns out for the benefit of all, we won’t be so hesitant the next time Facebook makes a big move like this. In fact, we might even be asking Facebook to purchase more independent applications like Instagram.

Diving adventure in South Malé Atoll

Posted on May 4, 2013 by Tara

Diving adventure in South Malé AtollWith proper equipment like a safety balloon for open water safety stops, the dive is manageable with a knowledge of the tides. If the atoll is emptying itself out and brine is flowing out of the Atoll, then it’s a good idea to begin descent well away from the reef, as it is located at a depth of 16 meters, and connects to the floor of the atoll at 30 meters.

Shaped like a raindrop, the reef is about 300 meters long and is well known for spectacular geography and fish life. The reef is shallowest at the eastern edge, ie, the side that faces the interior of the atoll, and drops away to 20 meters, and can be difficult to navigate. The eastern tip is called Jack Corner, and at the narrow edge, at a depth of 23 meters you can find a cave full of soft coral and scools of big eye trevally and snapper, with occasional sightings of dog-tooth tuna and barracuda.

The northern side of the reef has several outcrops of rocks covered with soft corals, with a few black snapper, blue fin jack, eagle rays and sharks hanging around, while the caves at the edge of the reef are all filled with marine inhabitants.

Life in the Maldives

This sense of renewal and rejuvenation is what makes the Maldivian resorts unique from anywhere else in the world. Maldivians are well-known for the idyllic timelessness of their lives; spending a couple of weeks in a remote island can make you feel so blissfully disconnected that some people choose to make stops at smaller towns before heading back to their metropolitan lives, because they fear they might experience culture shock.

The beautiful islands of the archipelago imbibe a sense of serenity that soothes away all disquiet. People often dismiss travellers as people running away from their lives. People who grow up and find disillusionment from their childhood concept of a perfect world run, but they run towards life, to discover more about the world and leave behind that which cannot be resolved.
