Any body active in odesk

[danega]

Well if you are serious about odesk then you will have to give up other sites that you work in too. But I think it would be worth it if you land on a great job.

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

I wish you all the luck my friend, I will join you there at odesk one of this days but for now I have lots to learn in the net and I am not willing yet to focus on one job only.

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?

well there two types of system one is hourly where odesk guarentees payment and another is fixed where a budget is fixed where odesk can't guarantee you payment an their software is so robust they can track which job your doing.

If we can engaged ourself with Odesk with their hourly jobs, then it will be really great, as it seems like a part time salary to us, our income is promised. I think i will have to seriously take some jobs with them now.

ya what i think if we friends can apply for same job with different bidding then there will be a better chance to get one job.

Ok, Satyakam I am with you. But let me pass the entrance exam there. I will take it in this week, I promise. I will then let you know about it.

One of my relatives had passed the exam at odesk and is already working on some job offer there he told me that you have to devote your time there coz you are not allowed to do other jobs while you are working with them since your you will be monitored by them.

Ya you have to download odesk monitor software where they will monitor the hour of working for the bids you applied for because you have mentioned the hourly price,but for fixed job no need to fully give time .

yes your right! you have to download software if you are working on hourly rate, but if you accept fixed job no need to monitor., i had joined also and i only charge $3 for hourly rate for beginners..but now no time to do the job but i will soon accept job offers by the employers.

i charge $5 per hour but people charging very high rate per hour ,i dont know when i'll get any real job because after applying 7 jobs no information from the employer.

So, you means you already have job offers from the employers but you just don't have time to accept the job? It is really a waste, cos i see many people looking for offers and is hardly get the job, you have a chance should at least finish it.

He is wrong you are right eddie many people waiting for job no body is just rejecting offers or he/she has privilege to reject or accept offer with his/her option.

It is good that you got one offer but you rejected but can it put any impact on your feedback score ?Because good feedback may affect or decide your future jobs.

Many freelancer trying their best to get a job there, and you get it but just reject it? I think if you are not interested on the particular job, you should n't bid it, as it may has give bad impression to the employer. They may not offer you jobs anymore in future.

yes you are right it will give negative impact on feedback score ,may be after bidding if any body will give hard work compare to money one may not accept.

I think that offer that traveler get is for article writing and i think that the topic given was not of her interest i guess declining the offer properly would not give you negative impact at all as long as you decline it properly.

ya thats correct some times we just bid for article writing as general but dont know which type of article the client will give us so if any unusual hard topic you will get better to refuse politely.

I don't know this site before but it looks good for there are also many translation jobs open and offered frequently, but I have a question, how to add my paypal account to the payment method?

[satyakam]

well odesk is just wastage of time i'm tired of waiting after bidding for so many jobs i have not got a single job ..forget about job not a single interview also.

[indieover]

i have been reading from other people in other sites that they earn well in odesk. i just don't know how they are able to earn from it. cause when i tried to visit the site it does not seem easy to find articles to write .

[manmade76]

@indieover, actually you should give some test in that site, there are 2 qualifying test in that site.

and in every category they are having tests, if you qualify u can bid in that category.

Though people earning but i find hard to get one successful bidding though all of my bidding are very good rate and some times i was the first to bid still nobody offered me a job so theoretically it is very easy than practically.
