What is the most economical way to use the system ?
although it is more expensive to try a single job, we urge you to try the system for yourself and experience how it works. Once you're satisfied, you may buy a larger block of jobs, which will be the most economical. When paying for the actual job, you can specify that you want to receive quotes from people who are interested in your job. This way, you can make people bid for your job and if price is the only parameter you're concerned for that job, you will be in a position to choose the lowest bidder.In the long run, the Unlimited job pack is the most economical. This way, you can post any job, however small they are, and not worry about additional costs

Some jobs like with special talent such as Home Networking or working with kids with special needs may cost more.
