chunkyhunk Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Unless you are prepared to really dive on your bid, it's not really worth getting jobs here. Quote Link to comment
kariton Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) Made an account here a few months back. For web developers/programmers, medyo sobrang saturated na. Hirap makakuha ng project kahit mababa na bid/rate mo. Lots of competition from all over. You need to have a skill/specialization that's not that common yet. It's still worthwhile to create your profile though, I got several interview invitations for projects I didn't apply/bid on. I guess they just did a search for a particular skillset. Too bad, I was already loaded when I got them. Edited August 6, 2008 by kariton Quote Link to comment
sleep_heavy Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) There is a caveat on the fact no commitment on the jobs you do. I get to understand that to mean I do not really have any control if the remote employer would really pay my bid or would really pay me for the work I do... on step 3 it says no commitment. I also get concerned about the NDA thing... the non disclosure agreement. Sometimes non legal operations are done using these devices and it may be cause for concern... never the less its worth looking into if you just want small jobs that will not cost too much dent on your time if you have a regular day job...

spookey Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 HiAt oDesk, its hard to get a project as there are too many bidders and like what others say, too saturated. Kahit mababa ang per hour rate mo, its still hard to get projects. Quote Link to comment

steven_crimes Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I have not tried internet marketing yet. Sabi nila baka risky din minsan. it doesn't need to be. you can just post articles online and it won't cost you. syempre, less satisfactory ang kita mo. PM me, let's talk about it. I did really dig into o-desk and yeah, grabe saturated na nga sya and it does focus on IT and web stuff, more of technical. so it's not for everyone. Quote Link to comment
Seishi Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 i have an account sa oDesk pero di pa ako nagapply for any jobs/projects... i got bored reading their help topics A-Z. Kaya hanggang ngayon ala ako readiness test... Quote Link to comment
maniaclara Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 i was into oDesk for a while when i was still able to work day shifts at my regular job. i had to quit oDesk because my job required me to do night shifts forever. i have to say it was really hard in the beginning, especially since there were just wayyyy too many people who did writing and virtual assistant tasks. i started with an hourly job of $1.50. that's peanuts to Americans, but i did it anyway just to get feedback i could use to entice more potential employers. eventually, i was able to get more projects and raise my rate. one guy even paid me $8/hour just to review the aesthetics and grammar of his website. another paid me $7.50 for the same work. and there was one week that i got paid $350! masarap kumita diyan... kelangan mo lang talagang tiyagain at galingan... the money's pretty good if you're pretty good at what you do. alas, i couldn't give up my regular job because of all my benefits... but if time comes that i'm just bumming around at home or i'm jobless, i'd surely go back to oDesk.

munchkins and donuts Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Odesk freelancer for three years now... Steady flow of income as soon as you get regular clients. Medyo takes time to get yourself established pero it's worth the effort. my rate of 5USD per hour is not bad at all... Quote Link to comment
