Has /g/ ever used Upwork?
For working, not hiring.

Selling your labor as an interchangeable commodity is very bad.
Read some business books.

Those sites are a nightmare for freelancers and for people that hire freelancers. I would like to hear experiences from other anons but from what I've read it's really frustrating. What is your area of expertise?

That's what labor is...

OP here. I don't really have expertise which I think is part of my problem. I've been trying it for about 3 weeks. I got a $700 job building out a huge database, two jobs totaling $300 scraping some shit for another guy, $300 building an onboarding integration thingy, and $400 (maybe, bitch awarded it, but is shit with instructions so I have barely started) working with a productivity API.
I put 'full-stack-developer' as my title. Which is technically true. I probably have averaged like $20/hr.. which is shit. but I've never had a real job in the first place and I feel if I establish myself I can make bank contrasting myself to the curryniggers.

Hey at least you have some skills to earn that cash.
Pajeet?
how does pay for hour work? how do they know how much time you spent and if you're being honest?
>>54339137
just keep cracking away. Experiment with your price point, too, that's a bit on the low side.
You're right in thinking that you can differentiate yourself from the 3rd worlders, too.
