oDesk 2018

ODesk is a pretty good website and there definitely is money to be made there, but there is so much competition and really, the only way to get started on oDesk is to fill out tons of job applications and hope someone will hire you. When I say competition, I mean competition, therere are so many people on that site offering the same service for less money. Most freelancers on oDesk are from non-English speaking countries yet take all the English jobs. Honestly, this is just my opinion, but oDesk doesn't seem worth my time, but hey, maybe it will be right for you. There isn't anything inherently wrong with oDesk, I just think that there are big flaws in the design and ethics of the website. Some word of advice, if you do decide to go and try freelancing at oDesk, be careful when choosing jobs that are only paid upon completion, because some people don't pay. You can alternatively work hourly and you will be guaranteed money for how many hours you work. That means no one can scam you! I don't like oDesk, personally, but maybe you will find more lucrative opportunities there, at least more than I did.
