youre competing with pajeets,
legit site, but only work if your starting.
leave the place the moment you established your career.

which 3rdworld heaven are you from?

>> No.16001909

>>16001669
you need a niche to be able to make above pajeet level money. Stuff that you should realistically be able to make decent money for but is ruined by pajeets: web dev, web design, illustrator work (graphic design, illustrator), Photoshop, even arduino stuff :( , most work involving writing.

BUT there are some jobs that they will never be able to do. Use your big boy brain to figure out which one of those you can do and you will compete in this absolute cut throat market. Look for the top rated and top earning freelancers in each category and see what they are doing. I like this guy as a starting point: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQZ9jWTa3xpyUAPgNnAHRpw

Still on pajeet wages myself but I'm sticking at it and will scrape my way out of this hell we call waging if it's the last thing I do.

Will any employer take this shit seriously?
Like if I tell them I have 100 5 star jobs or something.
>>16001909
I'm looking into photoshop and other graphic design stuff.
The shit wages don't bother me as much because I'm absorbing neetbux and not paying taxes for at least one more year. I need to save up as much money as possible to fund my education and working from home sounds kinda attractive.

>> No.16002011

>>16001987
I wouldn't recommend it anon. Design and art is one of the most undervalued things on the platform. If you like doing 4 hours of work for $10 then go ahead. If you want to save up making as much money as possible should be your goal. What else can you do?

what can you do with no competences that pays better?

you can give it a go just don't expect the jobs to pay very well. As long as you're not relying on it as income you should be fine. My strategy at the moment is to take on shitcunt jobs to build my rep then start charging properly once I have a bit of cachet but I can't live off this income and amn't saving very much.

Western yuro. I said I CAN'T though but with neetbux you'll be fine. I work other jobs irl so that plus upwork keeps me going, I've made $1K on Upwork in about 2 months of working on it, take that as a guide. I get paid way more for the same work irl.

People will tell you the "you're competing with third worlders" meme. That is only the case if you can only do shitty unskilled work with the lowest quality (ie: like a sub-90IQ subhuman) and always try to bid the lowest. Even with unskilled work you can make decent money after a while as long as you can uphold good quality standards which more often than not employers will assume you can if you're white and have a decent profile. For example transcriptions, closed captioning, etc. The work doesn't require much skill but people are willing to pay more for transcripts that aren't riddled with typos which retarded third worlders charging $1/h WILL make. If you are proficient at two languages you could even try getting into translations which is its own field and better paid than these others.

If you are serious about this stuff and want to be making money a week from NOW follow Lex DeVille's channel in YouTube, watch whatever videos he has on the point you're stuck at and JUST DO WHAT HE SAYS. He has the most serious no-BS advice you will find out there from a guy who has already made it.

Don't let the lazy fucks here discourage you. You don't know how it is until you try hard enough.
