How can I get an order on the exchange?

Question

Freelance

Hello. I can’t get an order on a popular Russian-language exchange. Tried to post an order. More than 30 people responded to it and 70% of them have more than 50 reviews, a very high rating. How can you get an order in such a huge competition?

Answer 1

I answer as a customer, put up my orders, received moronic responses:
Most of the answers I get are absolutely templates. Their authors didn’t even bother to read the task, to understand if they could complete it, etc., etc.
It’s so annoying that many customers set traps in the task description like “if you read this far, then you can safely write to me, specify in in your response to my work, the key phrase " hedgehogs cannot have children because they are prickly" You need
to respond in such a way that it is clear that you have read the problem. the customer chooses the cheapest - this is a delusion.A normal customer chooses the most adequate.
A low price is not an indicator of adequacy, but quite the contrary.
I myself took the work perfectly, even when I started an appeal with a proposal to raise the payment by 1.5-2-3 times relative to what the customer wanted.
Of course, all this was not from the ceiling, but from my real estimates of the complexity of the work.
Do not write a response if you do not see a clear description of the problem.
With a high probability, they themselves do not know what they want and do not understand who they need.
You will lose more time.

Answer 2

Easy, on such exchanges more than half of the applications are bots. Customers understand this very well. Read what they write, everywhere the same text. Now read the orders, as a rule they have rules according to which the customer screens out applications.
In addition, you should not pay attention to this number at all for one more reason: most people on the exchange are extremely incompetent, you yourself have to deal with such people on such sites. Some are inadequate, some are trying to cheat on you, and only a small percentage are really focused on work.
Make it a rule to do a good job and not set people up, this will give you a bunch of regular customers, then you will forget about the stock exchange like a nightmare.
PS Rummage on freelancing, the contingent is more serious.

Answer 3

This is low competition, it's just that in Russia in ordinary life there is almost no competition, and when a person encounters it at all, it seems to him that it is high

Answer 4

I did such a test - I published a problem, and asked to start my answer with the word "abracadabra" - as a result, out of about 20 responses, only 2 or 3 did it.
Responses are not difficult to get to yourself if you are a sale from some office.
But on some "freelancer" thread, for example, up to a hundred Indians and Pakistanis run up to hundreds of Autobots in a minute. And also with reviews!
In general, in order to receive an order, you just need to take a quantity, and then, according to statistics for a month or two, orders will begin. Of course, it depends on the niche and your ability to communicate and present yourself to the customer.

Answer 5

Write a constructive response, possibly with solutions. In general, so that the customer understands that you really understand the essence of the problem and can solve it. Often they choose just such a performer who "plunged" into the task even before execution.
