Comparing Elance and iWriter

I am attempting to compare the two platforms for online work, since I happened to be registered with both the websites. I would like to say, that both are good and bad at the same time. Good because of some aspects, bad always because of bad type of clients. But with elance, a bad client cannot do any harm, once the project is accepted, unless the contractor was very bad and reported to elance authorities for duping the client. But in iWriter, it is easier to get project, but difficult to get money. For beginners, I would always suggest to go with iWriter, because it is faster to cash out, while in elance, one has to wait endlessly for their bid to be approved. I was quite disappointed when one of the project closed saying that it was cancelled, at elance, but there was nothing to loose here.  But for me, that does not change things at all. I am not even interested in writing for these websites anymore, for I found another writer who hired me for few projects that have big budgets and needs constant write ups.
Coming back to comparison, I would like to list the advantages of iWriter over elance first and then proceed to write the other way.

iWriter Over elance

• One basic advantage of iWriter is, all projects for standard writers, are for everybody to write, but only when the client approves, does the writer get his money. This is unlike the bid process of elance, where is unsure about bagging a project, in the first place.
• It is easier to earn money, by writing short product reviews, SEO articles for a website, but at elance, even small budget projects need one to bid and wait until the project time expires.
• One can set the minimum balance to cash out and choose to get paid, at flexible time of the week. Payment is done via Paypal which is safer than any other online money transfer option.
• Once one gets hold of a good requester and watches out for projects from him or her, it is easier to get good rating and advance from a standard writer to elite, provided, the requester likes writer's style of writing.
• There is tough competition at elance, (iWriter is also catching up now, there are hardly any good requesters for standard writers), making it impossible for a beginner to bag a project in the first place.

Elance over iWriter

• There are no chances of rejections for silly reasons, after one bags a project. A contractor may be contacted again and again for corrections needed in the project. This seems good, because it gives the writer a good experience and makes him or her learn what his or her mistakes are. iWriter has very few requesters who ask the writer to correct the mistake and rework on an article, and pay him or her when it turns out good.
• Many firms for writing are making their presence felt at elance, which means that if one is hired by a writing firm, they have greater chances of bagging writing projects at elance.
• This website is a platform for all sorts of work that can be done online. Under writing work, there are more than thirteen categories and projects keep coming every day, it sure looks good when one calculates the probability of bagging a project. It is perfect, if one has proved themselves to be good and earned good ratings from earlier clients.

But, depending on whether one is a professional writer, or a freelancer, one can choose either of the websites and start earning online.
