The wonderfully user-friendly Guru.com
is probably our favorite site for the
independent consultant/freelancer. We even
somewhat modeled QuintZine on Guru.com's
e-newsletter. Founded in April 1999, Guru.com
bills itself as "the leading online marketplace
connecting freelancers and consultants with contract
projects. With more than 300,000 independent professionals
and 30,000+ hiring clients, Guru.com has
been recognized as a top-ranking resource by PC Magazine,
Yahoo! Internet Life, Forbes.com, PC Data, and Media
Metrix.
"By providing freelance project opportunities and
making it easy to find smart gurus, Guru.com is
dedicated to empowering independent professionals
and the clients who hire them."
Registration, which is free, is required to use Guru.com's
wealth of resources, including project or "gig" listings,
articles on how to thrive as a free agent, an Ask an Expert
feature, and the opportunity to develop a Guru Profile
that prospective clients can view when seeking to hire someone
