Are all customers on upWork so slow?

Question

Freelance

Beaten by customers from different countries, Canada, USA. All are very slow, you can wait a very long time for one task, you can receive a response to a message for 2 days. Am I just that lucky or are they all so slow?
What to do in such a situation, taking more orders is a risk, I can’t cope with all the piles.
Wait for an answer - it’s good that I’ll work 2-3 hours a day, and this is money

Answer 2

What a score. Take more. If you don't have a work arrangement, you don't owe anyone anything.

Answer 3

It is normal that some customers take a long time to respond - especially from time zones with a big difference from you (USA\Canada). Look for and take other orders - there is a chance to have time to complete a small order while negotiating a large order (or it may fall off altogether).

Answer 4

There were a couple of such clients pulling a cat for me ... tsa. They answer for a long time, because they "do not burn." I still have one job that has not been closed since August, although the work has been done and the money has been paid :) Basically, if a client is on fire, he will rush you several times a day.
IMHO you can take jobs, I pulled 5 projects in parallel :)

Answer 5

And with excellently organized, where all the meetings for the week are agreed.
