I have had success in the thread, I think I have picked up 2 gigs from it, both where at my rate of $100hr. I have extensive JavaScript and IOS development skills though so I am in a hot market right now. I don't know your skill set, but it may be that you compete in a market that has more saturation. Still $10-$15 seems low for a development skill set of any sort. Most highly skilled Indian freelancers command more than that rate.
- csomar 15y agoYou seem to have luck. For example, I never got a female Skype request.
- kls 15y agoReally, man I get them all the time. I assume that they where some dude in Russia trying to get me to send him some money. My brother who is a little slow (due to an accident) got taken for a bit of money by his Skype "girlfriend" who was stranded in Europe. Needless to say, once he stopped supporting her, she disappeared. I assumed that it was widespread on Skype due to his experience and the fact that I get 2 a week, from girls far to beautiful to be wanting to talk to a bald guy with a picture of his wife and kids in his profile pic. Also while I do believe in luck and I do believe that I am a lucky person (im an optimist). I am a very confident person, I think this has a lot to do with my success. That being said it could be a chicken and the egg. I am confident because stuff does seem to work out for me, which the confidence opens doors, that help things work out. I have had my fair share of bad luck but I tend to ignore those events. There is a lot to the old saying that perception is reality.
