I was in oDesk trap many years ago and got out of it just by applying directly to prospective clients. Since then, I always recommend to look for remote jobs/clients directly, rather than through these kinds of mediums. It works. HN remote jobs, and many other sites.

I am in that same trap, any advice for someone to break the shackles? especially for someone located in Pakistan?

  Just as I said above - find gigs on HN who is hiring thread, weworkremotely.com, stackoverflow remote jobs, wfh.io etc... just talk to clients directly. Oh, and needless to say - double/triple your rate, seriously - all it takes is to just ask. Also, I was after more or less niche remote jobs (C++). In case of web or mobile dev - there are literally tons of jobs out there.
