Especially for people first starting out. Why, because new people tend to grossly underestimate the time it actually will take to do the work. If you need to build a portfolio you should volunteer or work-cheap for a church or non-profit. Unless you live in a third-world country these sites (guru, elance) should be avoided like the plague!

It is some what helpful for me but the points u mentioned are alomost common and known to most of the people deal with these types of sites. These points work for the small budgeted projects. would you or any one here please let me how I can bid for a big budgeted projects ( more then 1000 bucks may be) nad get reply from client? I guess the clients post big projects do not only look for the proposal written may be they want to see some thing more than that. You said one should show relavant examples of previous jobs matching with the one posted. But if the user does not have a matching example and is new to the market how can he get a job? From my previous experience i have seen that even if you have a hell lot of quality works outside elance the client does not seem to belive that the provider has done the job and the do not reply to the prposal. When a provider is new to elance client always try to get the project done in a lower cost than the actual cost of the job. Do you have any tips for the new provider without a portfolio but ability to execute the job successfully. coz in market everyone is new some time. Plese let me know these point. I wil be waiting for your kind reply. Thanks Hi Tim,
