However, a word of caution: crowdSpring requests "spec" work, which essentially cheats those who are unpicked out of the compensation they deserve for their expertise.

But I can tell y ou right now, it can be very hard, if you are the first time user. So, first thing I suggest - open the Explorer, and type in the address you like. You'll get there really fast, it depends on your connection speed. Good luck. Using internet is simple as hell. But I can tell y ou right now, it can be very hard, if you are the first time user.

In May of this year, we launched a new marketplace that offers a very different model for buying and selling creative services. <a href="http://www.crowdspring.com" rel="nofollow"> crowdSPRING</a> is the creative marketplace. Buyers who need a new logo, website, marketing materials or other creative content post what they need, when they need it and how much they want to pay. Once posted, creatives from around the world will submit actual work – not bids or proposals as they would on the marketplaces you've listed in your article – for the buyer to review. As the submissions come in, buyers are able to review, sort, rate, provide feedback and collaborate with creatives until they find the "the one." crowdSPRING provides customized legal contracts, full project management, robust notifications, and many more. Over 8,000 creatives from 130+ countries work on crowdSPRING. Buyers set their own price and we take 15% commission on top of that price. Freelancers get 100% of the money paid by buyers - we don't have membership fees or commissions to freelancers. We've hosted over 1,100 projects already. We've also paid out to freelancers nearly $300,000 USD over our first four months in business. Here're five ways we differ from other marketplaces: 1. We require escrow in every project. Freelancers know that we hold the funds when they participate in a project. 2. Each project on crowdSPRING is protected by a free, customized intellectual property agreement that is delivered to both buyer and winning creative when the winning creative is selected 3. We provide full end to end project management with file uploads, feedback, scoring, crowd scoring, etc. 4. We have a robust notification/communication system that sends you notices every step of the way. 5. We take care of paying the designer anywhere in the world. So - what say you? "11 Top Job Boards..."? Best, Ross Kimbarovsky co-Founder http://www.crowdspring.com Hi Matt – Can I persuade you to rename this list “Top 11 Job Boards for Designers”?
