Bharat s.

I started on this site in 2014 December. Since than i made decent money on this site. This site is not scam but have poor management and services. If you will work carefully on this site you can make some good money.

1. don't upgrade to higher membership instantly. Take step by step from lower to higher as you make money and come to know more about site.

2. Don't buy any test to take ( They are useless) Clients barely see them. But don't miss the opportunity of taking tests when freelancer offer them as free of cost. Happened to me many times.

3. Dont Bid on all projects you see on freelancer. Just bid on verified clients. I do expect that you might miss some new clients but there is less possibility of getting scammed if you choose to work with verified client with 1-2 jobs completed.

4. DONT WORK WITHOUT MILESTONES FUNDED. Set up yours milestone and always ask client to release the freelancer fee ( On fixed price projects) before even you start working. Which can be 3% to 15% of project cost depends upon your membership. Also on hourly jobs don't work without milestones hours funded. This is very important 99% of the time you save yourself getting scammed from scammer clients.

5. Verify your profile before you start working on this site so save some hassle with site like Withdrawal or dispute process.

6. I do agree that Chat support or ticket support of this site is too poor which need to be improved.

7. For clients kindly hire people with good success rate and on decent price. I guarantee you wont be disappointed with work.Not all freelancer are scammer. There are some serious people.

8. Last but not least try to learn more ways to work on this site if you set yourself up well on this site there are lot of projects and money you can make from this.

I wish everybody great success and Wish this site to improve their support.
