Most people that hire are from western countries and wanted western workers
Found an article in DN.SE a Swedish newspaper about how to get work in IT on the internet will its simple just read this.
Many think that freelance work is just done by people from India and Pakistan but that is not true. You from a western country have a big advantage inform of culture and social behavior. Most people that do the hiring are from a Western country and they want to deal with western people.
There are many problems when you put out a job in a freelance site and most people I deal with waste my time. I would gladly pay 100 $ more if I know that this person will actually fulfill his work.
This is where you come in, you know the language and the culture and that’s what we want.
Many different jobs
People will pay for what you know and its not just php and coding it so much else you can find works such as

I have been using Script Lance a few times now this last month because I have a new few projects coming and my webmaster can not keep up.
If you want to bid on any off my projects join Script Lance and look for my name – Mindstream.
Since Script Lance started they have made some nice changes in the affiliate system
•If you referred the Webmaster who posted the project you will earn 40% of the fee they are charged, as well as 40% of the fee charged to the Programmer that your referral works with!
•If you referred the Programmer you get paid 10% of the fee they pay us, plus 10% of the fee the Webmaster they work for pays us.
•These rates apply to the Featured project fee. The Webmaster’s referrer gets 40% of the $25 fee ($10) and the Programmer’s referrer gets 10% ($2.50). This is in addition to the normal commission you will get based on the Programmer’s fee.
Affiliates also earn 50% of Certified Member fees ($5 or $12.50) and 50% of a Job Listing fee ($19.50).
On top of all this, if you refer another affiliate, you will earn 10% of whatever they earn in commissions!
The have also started another category of ads where you can ask for people for hire. You pay one fee and the advert will be out for 45 days. I did one add and I got quite a few answers I will let you know if anyone of them was worth it.
The also fixed the Pay Pal payments so there will be no fee and they add Money Bookers as a payment option.

Is it always a good idea to use outsource webmasters?
Asian webmasters are very popular to use right now but is it always a good idea to use outsource webmasters?
No it is not for some work you really need the webmaster with the same background and education level as you. I am not telling you that Asian webmasters for example are worse then Western I just saying they think in a different way.
For example Asian people are very often used to copy what you say to them or do what they are told rather then think for themselves. If you ask them to copy something and make it look like your site, you might end up with other names and phone numbers then your own because the webmaster just copy the hole thing.
Another scenario is they will work for 1 month with the script or site and you wasted your time and they you think wasted yours. Everything in the script looks great then you sees that the difficult part is not done and when you ask them about that they just vanish.
Do not use freelancers for upgrades
Do not plan to use a freelancing webmaster for long term they are often snapped away by other companies and can not upgrade your products. If you want to make a script or site make sure you make it easy for other webmaster to upgrade.
A even worse scenario is that you give the pass and log in to a for you total stranger and he will take all your email addresses from your forum for example.
Double check with other webmasters
If you have doubt about the quality of the site hire webmasters with god reputation and pay those to check the work before you pay the freelancer. It will save you time and money as well. You can also give some of the code to some other webmaster in some forum you know just ask him to take a look at it.
Let them fight for the money
If you have big budgets make a contest in you favorite webmaster forum or blog and ask people to send in work to you. Let them fight for your money and you will get very good results.
If you have similar experience with Western webmaster from a Asian perspective let me know.
