oDesk Family

thanks sis freelancer. 

[techgirl]

kapag kukuha kayo ng fixed project, I suggest check nyo muna kung may payment history ang client.

i want to try odesk. ok ba talaga? any tips?

[_pink12_]

Yes sis, ok ang Odesk.

Basta wag mo lang din kakagatin yung sobrang baba na mga offer kasi nakakadegrade din yun sa skills mo. Like if you set na $2.5-$3 ka per hour, stick with it.

Maintain the quality of your work, yung employer ko ngayon, employer ko na last year. Tapos di na ako active sa Odesk, nag-email sa akin directly yung boss ko if I'm available for a new project.

[gquind_rn]

mga sis i also want to try this odesk opportunity,may thread ba tayo on how to start or join odesk? ano ba yung mga projects nila?

[silverlilac]

^sis back read ka lang nang konti, and also check out the oDesk thread under Workplace Tales & Financial Fitness - you'll learn a lot there about how to get started on oDesk. then ask ka lang ng questions on either thread if you have more concerns after you've also checked out www.odesk.com . good luck!

uy, dumadami na ang oDeskers a... i signed up last April and was lucky to get my first job after a couple of weeks.. my first assignment was to write 5 short travel articles... 

[odette711]

ito na pala ang bagong house ng mga inspirasyon ko  .. lam nyo ako hanggang ngayon wala pa rin mag 1 yr na pala ako.. puro basa lang ng mga post ang ginagawa ko na i-inspire talaga ako sa inyo eh.. pero ito apply parin ng apply kasi swertihan lang talaga iyan eh.. tsaka dami pang dapat gawin sa profile ko..nahihirapan kasi ako wala akong masyadong mailagay wala kasing experience. good luck sa inyong lahat!!!

[rush]

pano malalaman kung verified na yung account ng employer?

[dolly]

^makikita mo rin yun dun sa job posting, sa profile ng employer.

Hello! Good morning everybody!  I have a question lang po.  I currently have eon card.  Lagi na lang $5 nababawasan whenever I withdraw.  Do you know of banks here that accepts Paypal through bank account?  Pag direct to bank account free withdrawal na pag Php7000.  I would like to avail of that.  Sayang $5 eh. Thanks po!

[techgirl]

Bakit ba sobrang baba ng mga offers ngayon sa oDesk? Imagine, less than $1 ang mga hourly rates as well as the articles for each 400-5---word article! Lugi! Dapat na makakuha ka ng more projects while increasing your rates because you have built your profile and your credibility, baligtad ang nangyayari!

[chocolate]

^Napansin ko din yan. ngayon na grad na ako, parang masmababa rate ko kesa noong hindi pa ko grad. mejo mahirap lang talaga yata ngayon ang maghanap ng work.

[rumplehuey]

yan ang hirap dun sa mga ibang member na nagbibid ng sobrang babang rates. Basta makakuha lang ng projects eh bababaan ang rates nila. Tapos yung mga clients naman kukunin agad sila kasi maliit ang babayaran nila. Grabe, this is NOT fair. Lalo lang natin hinahayaan yung mga clients na pababain ang tingin sa tin kasi parang nauuto nila tayo... This is just my opinion. Ayoko kasi ng dinadaya tayo ng mga ibang lahi.

[chocolate]

^ I agree.

Sis,
PM mo ako tuturuan kita, EON cardholder din ako pero hindi ako nakakaltasan ng $5 per withdrawal

Sinuswerte pala ako sa odesk kasi double fulltime ang work ko dun kahit papaano hindi ako binabarat ng clients ko. Lahat sila can afford.

[thelady]

i recently got myself into odesk and may mga employers who ask for either a skype account or usa number (mj). is it the same for everyone here?

at sa mga naka mj, do you know that you can earn $3-8 in minutes? imagine sa odesk yung $8 e whole day income na for some. masyado na nanggigipit ang odesk employers these days so those who rely on it should really look for alternatives.

[liana]

^ sis ano yung mj?
I agree with you sis medyo nanggigipit nga yung karamihan sa odesk employers ngayon unlike before. Meron nga ako almost 1 year employer sa odesk na $4 and rate ko but she said na she needs to let me go kasi she wants someone na $1.50 lang ang rate kasi yun lang ang kaya nya for now. Although i love the job $1.50 is super low para sa mga tasks na pinapagawa nya like creating wordpress articles, editing photos etc. And besides her blog is really doing well so impossible na $1.50 lang ang kaya nyang ibayad. Whew! napahaba kwento ko anyway tama si sis the lady we should look for other alternatives to Odesk as a back-up plan.
