The registration process.....

I think you have registered to the freelance sites. The registration process is easy in GetAFreelancer, SCRIPTLANCE and RENTACODER. These sites just take your primary details and will add you as a member. These sites don't charge you to join. You don't need to write any tests to join in these sites. The registration process in ELANCE, ODESK is a bit different. These sites are professional. You have write tests to join in these sites. ODESK offers a good set of tests to improve your profile. ELANCE is also offering tests to complete if you want to get more jobs.

Follow these rules while registration....

1.There are two options you will see while registration. They are Freelancer, Employer. We have to register as a freelancer since we are here to work. If you have work and you need someone to complete it You need to have a Employer account.

2. While registering to the freelance sites you need to be careful. You must spend time in filling your profile. You need to build a good profile. You profile must reflect your skills.

3. Choosing a username is an important thing. Your Username have to reflect your skills or your interest. For example if you are an online writer, Try to use Writer4hire, Writerhere, Writer2009 etc. So a client can understand you are specially for writing.

4. Don't use the same password to all of these sites. Try to make a hack proof password.
