I have been using wordpress for a number of years now, and only recently started making money from it. WP Robot is one of the best plugins I've ever used. It has brought no end of views and potential customers to my site as well getting paid really for nothing more than blogging... amazing. I recommend strongly that you all download this NOW.
I paid the $90, tested it out and it's as simple as it claims to be. However, my quarrel is (as a designer) that this sort of do it yourself program is great for people who know what they want, and aren't willing to pay a professional, but overall I still feel that these sites wouldn't have been put together by somebody with any design knowledge. Sure they may know what looks good, but there's an exact science behind design, and even with all the software in the world you may still not possess that.
So although I like this product, I feel that design should be left to the professionals, saying that if your an aspiring designer and you need the aid of simple, effective and cheap 3D programs then this is the best for your buck by far.
This is a service I was hesitant to join up to as I'm already linked with various similar outsourcing sites such as Odesk, Elance and projects per hour. But freelance designers has brought in more work for me than any of the other websites combined, as well as that I have made some great contacts which will come in handy when scouting for work. Although the site isn't brilliantly designed, it is fairly simple to navigate, and I had work after about 8 days of joining up which was great.
I would say to any freelancers out there looking for jobs, give this a go (as well as some of the similar sites).
I recently tried to sign up to Pay Per Post (which took a few attempts to get accepted). Once there it didn't take long to get into the swing of things, relatively straightforward service. The only thing is I have still yet to receive any payment. There are definitely faster options out there, but this is just my experience. I will continue with this and update my comment if I get any results in the coming weeks.
But overall I would say it's worth a shot, just don't rely on anything too fast.

You get what you pay for
Firstly let me say these don't come cheap, but if your willing to pay, you receive some high quality wordpress designs.
They will add an edge of creativity to any starter business and maybe bring a new lease of life to an established one.
I used this for my online store blog and it looks the part.
Highly recommended.

Link Bucks - Good Luck!
I have a few sites (some more popular than others). Linkbucks has made me virtually nothing in the 8 months that I have been using it.
I suggest that this is only worthwhile if you have a wide audience (a blog that hits 30,000 plus ) otherwise your wasting your time.

Good Product, but devalues the art of design
