    • yeah rob them for the free perks you can get (they used to have options to give you a credit card what isn't tied to upwork), and sign up to freelancer[dot]com.sted
    • set up a profile what best fits your shit, sign up min to the plus plan monthly (they charg you less). start looking for projects. don't:sted
    • don't agree with any work up front (test etc.), its an escrow system people put down the money before accepting you as candidate.sted
    • don't even look at projects where the employer is: india, pakistan, without verified ID and/or payment, shitty reviews, lots of open projects.sted
    • *sidenote: verify your payment method once and remove that card later after the first withdrawal. **they can give you a payoneer card with a bank account.sted
    • you bid on projects, project owner starts talking to you, you both agree on the terms, you won a project. freelancer takes the project fee up front from you butsted
    • that isn't a big deal since even if the project fails you get that money back, or gets paid from the project budget. (your account balance can go negative! :)sted
    • so you in the project what you can separated to milestones what will be paid once those are accepted by the employer. 5% goes to freelancer butsted
    • this small fee is a really small price for what you can do with this system, like cut some expenses :)sted
    • after a project is finished you get the money for the last milestone and that's it. write feedbacks, show up the project to get more work.sted
    • like@upwork you aren't allowed to move the employer to an other platform or place for communication but that's mostly about covering your own asssted
    • when something goes sideways. they support is a bit hard to deal with but they really get shit done.sted
    • sweet thanks sted!YakuZoku
