I tried doing a freelancing. Really!

I've been through that status. I'm still applying for that site although I'm hired but some of my employers didn't pay me for my hard-work. It was really frustrated yet learning experienced coz I know now who's paying or not. I'm also contractor @ Odesk. though I'm hired but I immediately withdraw the job because employer instructions wasn't clear so now I'm still waiting for my application. I have a job but its not really high rate but I'm happy coz every week they sent my payment and its really inspired me to do well. I'm also hoping that you also find a job and get hired. Just try harder i know we all can do it. Though our weakness tells us to surrender but we must strive to earn.

You are not stupid. Give searching online a try. I am sure you will find many examples of good cover letters. Be patient, your freelancing career will get started before you know it. Best wishes in your freelancing career. Have a great day!

the difference between trial and effort is persistence in the desire to get a freelance job. if one does not get it, try and try again. and keep trying until one gets on your lap. as they say, the first one is the hardest to get. keep looking for opportunities. soon, it will come and be prepared for it. wishing you goodluck and best results.

I am also in a familiar situation. I am still trying on that site. But I guess, only people having at least some hour working experience of that site are preferred. Writing cover letter is also a difficult task and needs some creativity. I have been writing cover letters for many jobs but yet didn't get a chance to work on one. But as said above, we have to keep trying until we get one... so please keep trying as there are 10000s of applicants.

I tried Odesk too... but it bores me. I can see that even if I get a project in Odesk, it's still gonna be like working in an office. Like you, my aim here in Online Business is financial freedom and I believe I can get this through learning affiliate marketing. If Odesk is not your thing, don't do it. Just keep on looking for the right trainer and system.. like most expert and experience online marketers had said, you don't have to work harder, just work smarter..

Don't let things get you down. Have you thought about doing a course to help you improve your skills? It might be worth a go. Good luck and I hope everything works out for you.

why don't you just copy those free cover letter sample in the internet? in that way you will get a reply from them or be asked for an interview. Just add some files on your portfolio at least they can see your works there. Why don't you try blogging and make that as your reference when applying again. I myself have been declined for like a hundred times more or less but I never gave up and I did found someone to hire me at last.:)
