However the only disadvantage is if the bid is declined or some negative feedback is given by client without assigning the project, those comments are visible in your profile page.

Tell them you speak better than one! The problem starts when they mention "US only" or "UK only". Leave those jobs alone! But you can bag the "native" jobs with a bit of persuasion! I have done it numerous times myself!! :). So best of luck!

In my opinio...Hi Trina, <br /><br />Good, uplifting article.<br /><br />In my opinion, Freelancer is the underbelly of the writing world - one may find the needle in the haystack eventually, but not a well paying job at Freelancer. <br /><br />Odesk - haven't tried it but based on those who use it, gets placed somewhere in between.<br /><br />Elance - a great portfolio, luck (to compete with native English speakers) and perseverance can get you jobs that pay atleast five times what most Indian content writing jobs pay you.<br /><br />Rek Seshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484322426994645221noreply@blogger.com
