I thought doing homebased is as easy as 123. There were lots of sites that offers homebased jobs and UpWork is work of them. Varieties of jobs are offered from from data entry to virtual assistants to graphics, programmings and so many more. Clients offer good rates too depending on your skill sets. However, I am just confused. Signing up is very easy. Getting your profile approved is kinda disappointing. I have been waiting patiently only to receive a rejection mail. Obviously, I really want to just settle at home and work at its comfort. But, how do I get my profile approved?

During the earlier years, it is easy to be profiled and get hired. Nowadays, it is difficult because there are various talents that offer low rates.

Absolutely. The bidding is outrageous. I would understand because people are looking into earning at the comfort of their homes. Its getting crowded there actually.

@Lubuto Indeed it is. There are lots of people applying and wanting to just do work at home. And Upwork is honestly the best choice.

@homebasedbobbie but no one is selecting me to do their jobs. I guess they trust the older members

@Nawsheen Yes. Because they look at your experience before they hire you.

with freelancer? If you are already able to bid a project then your profile is already approved. For upwork, you gotta have to make your profile hundred percent as well and take lots of exams.

My friend usually gets to have lots of clients in upwork. I get mine in freelancer.com. They have been working with upwork for quite a while now. And yes, you maybe right. Education probably would matter because you gotta have to sell your skill set for you to get accepted and start bidding for a project.

@homebasedbobbie isn't that true with any job. I would dearly love to make enough money at home to pay all the bills.

@HazySue Well, yes it is. You have to highlight the skills you have for them to hire you at a reasonable rate.

You are actually correct. You gotta have to sell yourself.

@Hari101 Virtual assistant is what I am comfortable with, data entry and customer service. :) Have you tried this platform?

That is true. And I just dont want to shell out anything because the thought is, I am looking for a job. Not to pay for a job.

I agree.. I have been having challenges myself. I wanted to be part of upwork because there are a lot of clients that could hire you.

I know but how come it is just very easy to other people. You have to keep upgrading your skills and keep paying for your trainings. Urrrggghhh....

I don't think up works will work out. We have to keep on waiting to get work. It is really very difficult .
