Are there any sites that pay at least $500 USD for small jobs here and there? I don't want to be commited to a long contract job, but looking to build angular.js MVP apps.

freelancer,gun.io, guru are awful rarely do you hear back and people posting their don't understand just how much work is required and are unwilling to pay money for it....

I have lots of small jobs, but I generally just hire a single person for the full contract. The reason is that, with ramp-up and debugging time, there's nothing that $500 can efficiently buy me.

One way is to develop a relationship with another consultant who's having to turn down jobs that are too small for them. They can hand those off to you.
