Did you hear the one about the programmer who outsourced his own job? if not, read the issue 12.07 of Wired about Micromultinational just to tune what I am looking for. I am looking for a business associate to market me myself and my group of programmers in USA, Canada and Europe. We can work for a fraction of the cost most other programmers could, but we need someone in the States, Canada or Europe in order to move the wheel. What we offer?, unparallel quality (for instance, I hold a Ph. D. degree in computer science (Summa Cum Laude)) at very low cost (try to get a MSc to work for 1000 by month and then remember I offering the horse power of a Ph. D. for that). Please contact me. We should talk. We both have much to earn.

Bid Smart - The lowest bidder doesn't always get chosen, far from it. Persuade your buyer why they should pick you - and they will.
Research - If John has paid more than $500 a contract for his last 10 project, why would you think he is interested in your $10 bid? Check up on the buyer, bid what he expects, and deliver quality to match.
Read - Please read the bid request - I cannot emphasise this enough - if you do not read the bid request then you will not be chosen, this is pretty much certain. Mention the bid request specifically in your application, and don't forget to repeat the key deliverables.
Innovate - Suggest features the bidder didn't mention, talk about future extensions to the project, and discuss whether you think his or her approach is a good idea. Show interest, intellect, and willing.
