While we’re on the subject of coupon codes, there have been visitors to the blog who got here looking for elance coupon codes.
Unfortunately, guys, I don’t think there are any. Well, to be more precise, I’ve used elance for years and never heard of any discount or rebate codes for their service. It’s not quite the same thing, but I think I would’ve heard of an elance coupon code by now… had one existed. 
Having said that, I do recommend elance. I’ve hired half a dozen outsourcers there in the last week… one of which did an unbelievable job! I also recommend checking out the outsource method if you think you’re going to get into outsourcing because it’s a bit of a minefield and you’ll want a good guidebook to doing outsourcing the right way.
