I think the reason they are increasing in availability is because companies know they are able to get what they need without paying what they should. A majority of the contests are hopefully being done by graphic designers just out of school. Sure why not, because to them its a portfolio piece and money in their pocket, that is if they win. Unfortunately we are also in an age where everyone thinks they are a designer.

I agree with you that contest is not something that fit for freelancers that are looking for sure compensation for their work, and you can omit all contests through our filters. we also think that contest are great opportunity for someone who do it for getting exposure / experience and not doing it for living. the facts show that the number of contests are dramatically increased, so it means that there are a lot of people who find it valuable.

Congrats on the lunch, and good luck,

Ugh, I hate seeing contests for anything related to design. Because the only person who makes out from that is the company running the contest. If you are a designer and you submit something for a contest you lose all rights associated with that piece. The ‘client’ now has an endless supply of useful pieces while we sit back and watch our hard work get torn apart. That and it is a really cheap way for a company to get around paying what they should for a piece that will be the face of their company.

Designers, please don’t submit items for stupid contests. It hurts the industry way more then it helps.

I think that you missunderstood the site,
The rate they give is the same rate which is published in the original site.
So your challenge means that no job in the world is worth doing in a crownsourcing way.
Well, from my knowledge this concept is just getting bigger and bigger so I can say easily that you’re just wrong.

And if you wish to get only jobs with good price you can just filter them in their site.
Are you from the people that just like to complain, without understanding on what?

I actually have no opinion about the “coolness” of your company, nor do I think that this should be relevant to any tech articles.

My post was to comment on how the “coolness” factor has a such a strong influence on what TC writes. Perhaps in the future DoNanza will list jobs that have non-exploitative rates, but for now I would challenge any competent, US-based professional to find a single job that is worth doing at the rate listed on your site. So despite your sites nice UI, it is not very useful. (TC completely fails to comment on the quality of the listings, but gushes over the UI sliders and Twitter support).

In contrast, I can go to Dice.com—a long-standing, unglamorous, but highly useful site–and find thousands of real contract tech jobs at industry competitive rates. Why didn’t TC make this comparison?

@jasons, DoNanza is the kind of services that can help people earning their living in such time of economic downturn, by exposing them to project they can do from home. the projects we aggregate published by thousands of companies and the budgets are not something that determined by us, its a free market. What we do provide is a filters that allow you to define your desired budget (in each economy the level is different) we just giving the picture you will decide what fit for you. If you think the service is not cool its probably true, for you, but believe me there are hundreds of thousands of people out there who looking for new options of earning money, and for them i think we cool enough. thanks.

I will never understand the Techcrunch moral compass. TC is condescending and unfairly critical of anything that comes from what they deem to be an un-cool company (e.g., they relentlessly bashed Microsoft’s marketing campaign where money was donated to a food providing non-profit for each download of IE). Yet they are so often gushingly enthusiastic about companies that for whatever reason fall into the cool list. Take in point this glowing writeup of DoNanza, a company whose basic business model is to steal other companies data and to provide freelance listings of tech jobs at exploitative rates. (Yes–you can find 40,000 different gigs, if you are willing to work for $1/hr.) Just imagine how this article would have read if Microsoft had started DoNanza.

So what I think freelancers really need: a great site that lists jobs. There is something less than ideal about every single one out there, whether they send the work to you, get paid by the client and refuse to pay you if the client doesn’t pay, whether they don’t let freelancers see the bids against which they’re competing, whether they have no mechanism to ensure that you get paid, etc… As an aggregator, obviously, most of these concerns do not apply to DoNanza but there is room for all of these sites to grow and improve. I do see value in an aggregator site. It takes time to look for jobs on all of the sites and you don’t want to rely on a single site.

DoNanza search engine index all kind of online freelance jobs, some with low budget and some with high budget.
Try to use the budget filters (on the left pane of the result screen) to filter the budgets which are not suited for you.

it seems like it makes it much easier to do the search for freelance jobs. I am used to work with Odesk but this way I found lots of other options – good work.

But what happens when I want to submit a job? Do I need to open an account in every site seperatly? Is there a way to make it easier?

idea of aggregation is good enough. With so many sites working on outsourced model , this looks good.
But the point is apart from ads how will the money be made. ?

Would they take a commission for every job secured through them ?
I do not think other sites would agree to that

Sounds like this post was outsourced. “…. on offer” is a sickeningly common phrase you’ll see in outsourced, low quality article writing.

Interesting idea, I guess. But I have to say that the jobs posted in my field were ridiculously low paying. Some weren’t even a tenth of what folks in my profession make per hour. Seems like some of the posters are trying to take advantage of the economy or don’t quite know what they’re looking for. I won’t go back to the Donanza site aggregator.
