You're probably better off trolling message boards, doing spec work, cold calling, and promoting yourself than hanging around "gig" sites like elance competing with incompetent foreigners (the good ones have real jobs) for idiot clients (I want something exactly like Facebook for $250 in one month -- and it has to have 800 million users and make a profit.)
