Is there “life” on Russian-language exchanges?

Question

Freelance

After several years of working in the office, I registered on a popular Russian-language exchange, but even having an account that is not even the most empty, it is almost impossible to get an order now. I considered offers in the field of WEB development, mainly front-end, but if necessary I can work with WP. Is it like this for everyone now? or am I doing something wrong? It seems to me now it is unrealistic to earn even 20-30 thousand a month there.

Answer 1

And over the hill there are crowds of Indians. Nobody promised that it would be easy.

Answer 2

I catch orders purely from parsed mail from exchanges, many profiles are not asked to be thrown off, some portfolios are not asked to be shown. The main problem of rufreelance is a very large% of slag, namely, outbid schoolchildren, homeless customers who want work for 100 rubles, all sorts of noob freelancers who are just trying to get some advice under the guise of finding out the details of the order, also dudes who stupidly don’t need work just scan prices or want to chat xs.
You just need to keep in mind that this is slag and you should not include them in the general statistics, then it will be possible to say that rufrilans is alive.

Answer 3

Even if you have the most super promoted accounts, this does not mean that orders to you will flow like a river. It is necessary, for starters, to earn a reputation on the exchange itself. And this is all done gradually.

Answer 4

There is.

Answer 5

A penny of the ru-exchange is brought in spite of the pioneer detachments of agencies and competition.
TS, in addition to exchanges, pay attention to hh and similar sites, fb profile groups and even linkedin. There, among other things, completely different requests, with different experiences and conditions.

Answer 6

well, who works well can live on any popular stock exchange

Answer 7

Answer 8

Earn reputation. Build a portfolio. Advertise yourself.
