On which foreign freelance platform can you quickly find orders?

Question

Distant work

It so happened that financial difficulties appeared in life, I would say all hands on deck and within 5 days you urgently need to earn $ 300 or 18,000 rubles, fl.ru orders are not so expensive, and those that are require a premium. And now, alas, even there is no money for it.
About me: I am a Full Stack C# developer with about four years of experience. Had experience with ASP.NET MVC, Web API, Windows Forms, WPF, UWP.
Databases: MSSQL, Postgresql, Sqlite, MySql.
Javascript framework mainly used Jquery, Javascript Junior knowledge level)). There were not so many projects where you had to work closely with JavaScripts.

Answer 1

There is a solution, but it will take more than 5 days to work.
1. We win a tender for a large, long-term project. Here you need to try, to show yourself as well as possible to the customer, to paint in colors how this project will be done.
2. Take an advance payment that will cover the need for money.
The financial issue will be resolved, but you will have to sweat in the long run. I would do exactly that.

Answer 2

Without experience and history on freelance sites, it will be extremely difficult to quickly find at least some kind of order. Yes, and $ 300 for 5 days is the level of a person with experience and a pumped account, who always has an option to earn extra money in the stash - you obviously do not fall into this category. After two years of work on the stock exchange, such demands on your part in terms of money and terms are more achievable.
Try, it's better to have a taxi if you have your own car.
Another option is a bank loan. If there is a problem with obtaining a loan, you can always use the services of microcredit organizations. I wouldn't put off the pawnshop either.

Answer 3

The conditions are incompatible. It takes years to reach a more or less paid level, which will reach the salary of an office programmer.

Answer 4

Ahah, here it is - IT reality. A full stack C# developer with about four years of experience doesn't have 18 pieces of wood. There isn't even a car to drive around. And they don't give credit. Lol))

more than once on Habré, articles flashed on the topic of the fact that some freelancers earned $3000-4000 per month, in fact, in the region of $800-1000 per week.

he is also stupid, he believes in fairy tales .
PS1 wrote without mocking the author, it's just that this is reality))
PS2 put something on avito at a price 2 times lower than the market. A building tool goes well, for example. Or other junk. Take valuables to the pawnshop.

Answer 5

The next version of the topic "how to quickly and earn a lot as a web programmer"?
No way

Answer 6

Dude, go to the bank, freelancing has long ceased to be elitist, the competition is wild among beginners away

Answer 7

To make money on freelancing, you need to
- register, pass validation, connect some payment systems to withdraw money
- find an order and win it
- find out all the details, make, give, wait until the customer looks, fix what didn’t suit him, hand over, wait until the end.
- wait until the customer transfers the money (or immediately find it with an advance payment, this is unrealistic for you). Moreover, he must not throw, not proyatnut and do everything super-quickly.
- order a withdrawal to your account / card, wait until they arrive (it can be 3-5 working days in itself)
What are your chances to do all this without experience, without a portfolio, and so on? Around zero. For an experienced freelancer, this would also be very difficult, a kind of challenge.
Well, that is, you can try and you may be wildly lucky in all items on this list. At the same time, buy a lottery ticket - your chances of getting something will double.
So rightly said above - look for other ways it's more realistic.
Why a c# programmer with 4 years of experience ended up without 300 bucks and any options to get / borrow them and so on will be left out of the scope, although this is very interesting of course.

Answer 8

Do not listen to "experts" who will say that "It takes years to start earning something freelancing"
5 years ago, money was also urgently needed. I registered on fl.ru, the account was new and found an order on Bitrix. As a result, work in the evenings after the main work brought me 60,000 rubles in 10 days. He covered the expenses, and spent the rest on updating the laptop.
True, this pace of life is very difficult, but if you want to make money quickly, you can.
You have to be constantly on the lookout for new orders. It will be more realistic to find an order for upwork or fiverr
