Guru.com

Signed up for Guru.com a few weeks ago. I have been watching and learning.

This week I put in my first bids for writing projects, not really expecting to be chosen due to my inexperience.

Well! Got picked the first day for a tiny little writing contract. A single letter to the editor, for $25. Took me about an hour to do. Actually it took two hours, but one of them was figuring how to set up the escrow account and navigate the sign-up process.

It was easy, and Guru does a very good, no, excellent job of leading you through it.

The money was deposited in escrow, I wrote the letter and forwarded it. Now just wait to see how the buyer likes it. If she does, then the money will be released and I come out with about $20.

I have bid on several other, larger projects, but not heard anything up or down yet.
