@amhere are you on elance? imagine am trying to verify my phone to no avail. must i speak american tweng for their machine to recognize me?

Outsourcing is the next big thing. I skills in demand are software development and content creation then many others.

apart from elance and oDesk could somebody please help with other sites where one can do some online jobs?

I have been on Wazua for a long time (peeper then member) and been doing Outsourcing for a while. I do not have a history of making bogus claims. I am not sure you read the report in the link you posted. The "Q3 2011 Hotbeds" report you quoted is not in contradiction with the "2011 Rate of Earnings Growth" end of year report I posted.

But I do not want to be drawn into long abstract debates which I know are fairly common here. It is up to each of us to believe what we want to.

Happy New Year to all!

I was excited on reading this as you can imagine, but it seems some of us are no different from politicians who don't shy away from making bogus claims.

First of all, there is no breakdown data showing who has earned what amount, so its hard to know the actual earnings of persons (in any case that is likely to be treated as personal information by elance).

If you look at the more detailed map here

https://www.elance.com/q/online-employment-report

You will notice that Kenya is not even among the nations considered hotbeds on elance outsourcing. Only countries that appear from Africa are Egypt and South Africa. Perhaps Kenya will make an appearance in the next few years if the rate of growth in earnings continue with the momentum they have now.

But, Wazuans, stop making sensational claims without first verifying them.
