How to get projects from freelancing sites

No Response?

Hi,

I started my freelance career on PPH.

My 2p worth, (and for bidding in general....). If you bid based on PRICE, you will always fail. You need to find your own USP and bid based on that.

Make your bid stand out. I once won a bid against 5 US-based firms, because I specifically said I would product the course in US-English, (I'm UK based...). Say something that STICKS, or alternatively, use FUD to make your case.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Bruce. I will definitely take care of points you share.

What I am doing is, I open recommended jobs, read their description and write proposals for them. I am not sure is this practice make me bid on price level because some times though there good offered budget than my pricing. I stick to my defined price rate (unless PPH make it mandatory to raise it to minimum bid).

And regarding USP I will work more on it for sure.

Hi S P!

Are you linking back to a portfolio or website where you show samples of your work, and more specifically, samples of the work that are relevant and meaningful for the projects you're applying to? That is hugely important. Check out these past articles/ discussions for more info: the importance of a portfolio for hiring an e-learning developer and why you need an e-learning portfolio. Having work to show is critical, and as you can see from the discussion I linked to many people won't even consider someone without a portfolio or solid examples to share.
