SYDNEY, March 30, 2010 - Freelancer.com, the world's #1 micro-outsourcing marketplace is now the
most popular outsourcing website in the world for users and jobs, topping
almost 1,100 jobs per day and 640,000 jobs posted to date.

Freelancer.com is the largest freelancing site today by users with close
to 1,500,000 registered professionals with from 234 countries and regions
worldwide. On March 22nd 2010, Freelancer.com topped 1,100 jobs posted within

Outsourcing has grown rapidly over the last few years. The Internet
delivering ever increasing efficiencies coupled with a tightening of the
global economy has led to companies increasingly going overseas to find
skilled labour. More recently, this has tipped over into the realm of small
businesses with marketplaces like Freelancer.com enabling for the first time
efficient outsourcing of jobs as small as $30. Small businesses are now able
to dramatically lower their costs and increase their competitiveness to a
degree never seen before. These "Mom and Pop Multinationals" (as named by
BusinessWeek) can now outsource any job they can possibly think of for around
1/10th the cost of western labour.

"The world is flattening and we are a catalyst for this," said Matt
Barrie, Chief Executive of Freelancer.com. "Small businesses in the US or UK
can now get their brochures designed in Bangladesh, their customer support
run from the Philippines, blog managed from Romania, and website developed in
India- all for less than the cost of a part time employee in the United
States. We are proud to be assisting small businesses increase their
efficiency, grow their sales and lower their costs. We are extremely proud
that we are the largest and most liquid market for small business
outsourcing!" he said.

Some of the recent jobs include the design of an outdoor restaurant (38
bids, average bid US$201), an iPhone application for streaming videos
(average bid US$610), and corporate identity development which included logo
design, leaflet and a simple website for a weddings business (24 bids,
average bid US$217).
