If only it were "permanent"...
Freelancing is a little dense and a little empty.
It just seems that over there, there's a pile of orders, now I'll fulfill them and the money will flow... Right now... Alexei correctly noted "stress from customers. That's why I don't even look at freelance programming. I prefer tutoring.
Yes, the main problem - the customers with the mentality of "if it's clear to me, so it's clear to others, too. And also "no need to write TOR, I'll explain in half an hour all in words!!!". And long convince him that words do not take anything I do not perceive, that the reading is up to 5-6 orders at once and need to have a written TOR for his own benefit, the customer.
However, it has already been discussed 1000 times here. But all this is very confusing. Why I dream to go away from freelancing in any form, but so far the purse does not allow)).
Basically, yes,
Look at the order statistics - all sorts of "rubbish" like grid-advisor and stochastic EA get 15-25 responses from programmers, making your first job there is more like a lottery, the chances are minimal
To make a complex job, you need to be in the "mql theme" all the time - otherwise, the quality of your programs will be so-so, not to mention the speed of writing code and fixing bugs.
Make a super complex job - here, alas, it is a matter of your talents, these tasks are usually related to mathematical skills, with knowledge of Windows programming, knowledge of third-party trading platforms and all sorts of non-standard tasks.
And there's at most a dozen of them a year.
And there are at most a dozen such tasks a year
I've been looking into freelancing since January, with at least one task a week to communicate with third-party platforms
Yes, the main trouble - the customers with the mentality of "if it's clear to me, then the rest too". And also "no need to write the TOR, I'll explain in half an hour all in words! And long persuade that in words I do not perceive anything, reading the work is up to 5-6 orders at a time and need to have a written TOR for his own, the customer's good.
Yup, I usually call it a brainwashing; then you show to such a customer a model of TOR from a good customer - where everything is formalized, with pictures and arrows - in response, I do not understand what's written there
Alas, specifying the ToR can take up to 3/4 of the time to write code
I've been looking into freelancing since January, the challenges of communicating with third party platforms at least one a week
I decided to try earnings in the service Freelance. But since I've never engaged in freelancing and implemented only their ideas for sale in the service Market, I have a question, how to start? That is, I have products, demo downloads, buyers, as well. But as a performer of orders I have absolutely no statistics. How do I get started with Freelance in my case?
Apply for jobs that you can handle, there is a chance that you will be chosen as a contractor. Everyone starts from scratch, especially as there is always an influx of new faces as customers, and they don't care how many jobs you have done before and what your rating is.

Most importantly: DO NOT rush to click on the "I agree to do this job" button!!!
It's simple: You choose the job, read the description carefully, and only after you KNOW you can do the job do you click on the "I agree to do the job" button. And then the lottery and a fraction of chance. Someone is bound to get selected.
I think we are talking about adequate tasks here, but all sorts of nonsense - yes, they regularly offer to do...
well, linking the Quickie with MT4...

Vitaly, just now, after your words, a thought occurred to me - maybe the new customers will choose the newcomers without a rating? In the hope that there will be more attention and less money?
