If you're a webmaster looking to outsource some type of work, who require professional long-term jobs or a single project, or need a freelance programmer; you need to consider service marketplaces, such as Scriptlance , Joomlancer, GetaCoder and e-lance. They're the best way to find cheaper options and faster project delivery.

The process of finding a Freelance programmer or any other type of freelancer for your next project can be summed up in three simple steps:

1. You post a project
2. Receive bids from interested freelancers
3. Choose a freelancer

These websites are a safe and secure way to find the right person for your next project. Scriptlance , Joomlancer, GetaCoder and e-lance , offer an escrow service (third party account) that will hold your money safely until the project is successfully completed. If the programmer fails to deliver what you requested you can ask for the project to be canceled and get your money back.

10 Tips when working with Freelance Programmers on the Internet:

• Always pick programmers with excellent feedbacks, especially for larger projects. Don't base your selection criteria only on the lowest bid.
• Don't be afraid to ask for work samples.
• Be clear with your project requirements. - Specify delivery and timelines
• Ask questions and make sure your prospect understands what you require, the scope of the project and that he agrees with your payment terms
• Never send money in advance directly to your selected programmer (e.g. via Paypal). Always use the escrow account/service provided by the website.
• Request timely reports or updates and follow up the progress of project. Don't request communication all the time, as it costs your freelancer valuable time.
• Do not leave a feedback or review about the programmer until the project has been completed or closed.
• If you disclosure passwords or account details (for website projects) after completion make sure you change them.
• And once more: be clear with your requirements! In the project description clearly explain what you expect and what you need.
• Read and always respect the Terms and conditions of the marketplace.
