To be frank for a second, I did score some jobs on this site.
Best thing happened was a simple CSS/HTML job for a landing page, with photoshop mockup provided. Made me 80 bucks, but only because I did it in 3 hours before even making an offer and presenting the finished product beforehand.
There will also be smug motherfuckers who will ask you for a demo beforehand tough, don't fall for that obviously.
Thing is either high risk mediocre reward or sheer dumb luck for anyone who's not willing to sell out short or isn't involved in a bigger company.
My experience tells me that you got to make it cheap, quick and near perfect to have a footing in any of those sites. Once you gain traction by having built a good enough portfolio on one of those sites, it might get better in terms of pay and successfully securing a job.
I'd say check it out yourself,
Also again don't fall for those stupid graphic design contests. Not worth it. pic related, always outpopped
