Have you ever tried going out and trying to compete on one of those conventional freelancing websites? It's a nightmare. So many people think that art and design doesn't take any real training and that they can do our jobs without knowing the first thing about them. You end up with all these posers who have no actual experience, often with a fake portfolio, fake resume and fake references trying to underbid all the real professionals. The everyone in the pool style freelance websites just don't work, and big name companies know that which is why they don't use them.

The best part is you don't have to worry about competing with a bunch of fake posers muddying up the waters for everyone. Check them out, I'm sure you'll be just as amazed as I am.
