On: Ask HN: Do people have any luck using eLance or Upwork as a client or freelance?

Looked at eLance a couple years ago but never followed through. Appeared very tedious in terms of setting up a profile and submitting proposals, I had easier methods available to me to obtain work and utilized them instead.

Care to share any of the other methods?
