Hi all any body active and earning from odesk i heard many people earning good amount from odesk ,do you have any idea and are you also earning?
Odesk is a freelance site, first you have to create your profile then bid for the jobs available available there, the more jobs done by you ontime, the easier next time you getting jobs from those job publisher. Anyway, you still need to compete with others in order to get jobs.Quote:

Well you should take the test because that test will be used as a proof that you're capable of doing freelancer work for their client.Quote:

I also have account in Odesk but i am not active you need to check your account from time to time to update for future employer, but you need to take the test before you can start bidding..
Would we have to appear for two consecutive test there? Are those test are easy enough to qualify? Wish you best of luck and if you grab a job there, pl let us know.Quote:

Hi tom if you will fail in any exam you can re appear but it is little tough and you require patience to attend.
Do you know if that exam is always same with other people or have different case for each people?Quote:

I think no one would fail the Odesk readyness test. They have a guideline about how to pass the exam and they will ask you to follow that guideline while appearing for the exam.
I planning to appear for this test this weekend.
No that's not the case though they are giving links but it is very confusing i tried some months back but failed and i have not tried again.Mainly you loose patience to read so many lines.Quote:

So, you already passed 2 pass? that's great.Quote:

can you share with us what is the question in exam :p
It seems absurd as how do they detect that we are doing other jobs or not! We certainly devote our time to complete the offer and if we couldn't do this, we would not get other offers in future. But if we do other jobs along with the ODESK, they are not permitted us to stop this work as these are totally freelance.Quote:

Have patience and keep on bidding once you successfully make one task then you will get work continuously.Quote:

well yesterday i submitted again for some work ,i'm giving bids mainly on article writing ,freelance writing ,lets see what will happen.Quote:

but yes we have to devote time and be patience, if u get a bid once u will succeed.
from the various posts it is then clear that if we bid for job which has to pay us on hourly basis, then that s/w will keep track. So it is not safe to bid for that job in an initial stage. Yes, Satyam, keep patience, you will win a job there.
i wonder how they calculate our hourly payment basis, as we are just bidding jobs and getting payment from finishing the work task. How to get the hourly payment in this case? Is it even we didn't do a jobs also will getting payment from the hourly salary?Quote:

Well I asked my relatives about this and he said that theres an off button on that software. But you can never do the same things at the same time when you are working at odesk. You can do that other jobs or sites you have when you are not working with them and just turn off that button.and regarding how to submit your job I have no clue yet.Quote:
