1. Elance Profile Name:
Choose a creative name and put your name as your profile name. Remember that the profile name is different from your username and displayed on the top of your profile. Show your own image in the image if you are a free or if you have an individual account / professional. Only small and large companies are allowed to display their logos on the thumbnails. You can make a simple logo or a video record of 1 minute and put in place for the profile picture.2. Portfolio:
My experience is mainly in writing and translation category and above all get the beginners questions related to this category as it is difficult for them to build a portfolio because they have no online presence. But building a portfolio is very simple. You can write 2 or 3 articles and submit articles to a directory such as Ezinearticles.com and wait for acceptance. Once accepted, you can take screenshot and upload to your portfolio. Beginners who wish to work on the Web and Programming and Design and Multimedia category can make some templates or logos and load in your wallet. A strong portfolio is required to call the attention of the buyer.3. Evidence of ability:
People do not pay attention to this area of your profile and I always give best examples Elancers not have a single "orange bar" test in your area of expertise. Well, they have the experience or luck or God knows what, you're a beginner and there is no way close to their standards. You need to take proof of ability to demonstrate his skill and ability and get the buyer's attention. It also gives a positive signal for the buyer who work hard and care about their profile.4. Job Search:
There are over 1200 jobs available in the top 3 categories and these numbers do not fall down, but there is no guarantee all jobs in your chosen category and can not possess the skills necessary to perform all work . Search jobs that you are confident of making a professional and timely manner.5. History of the buyer:
I watch a lot of non-serious buyers these days on Elance and I have over 30 jobs in "My Jobs" tab that are not granted to anyone and submission of the proposal has expired . Take your time and visit the profile of buyers to see his / her story. You can get information as the ratio of employment awards, the total bought has reviewed today, and the number of contracted providers. This little research can save you time and also save your links.6. Proposed work:
Needless to say, it is most important and the customer / buyer can immediately reject the proposal work if adequate information is not in it. Remember Elance not allow you to send private messages to customers and its proposed work is the only way to interact with the buyer from the beginning. Make sure you make the most of this opportunity and not lose its "connect." If you see that sufficient information is not given in the job description then ask the probing question in the proposed work but does not require the buyer to respond to your message. Show your interest and skills and experience that you have to complete the job.7. Price:
No hard and fast rule to fix the price of labor and it is entirely up to the provider to decide how much to charge. It depends on the difficulty of the work and effort will be put to complete. For example, 10 items instead of weight loss can not be too expensive, but 10 articles on medical research will take much time and effort to complete what the price will be high. But as a beginner, you may not be able to load as experienced providers. If you charge too low, then the buyer may think you are a provider of inferior quality and want the job badly. If you bid too high, then one can neglect the offer that you have no experience to show. I have seen providers face a lot of trouble if an offer is too low and get the job. They are not sufficiently motivated to complete work on time because the reward is too low.8. Delivery:
As the price, delivery time is totally dependent on the difficulty of the work. It is necessary to evaluate the amount of research, programming and design that will have to complete a job. The "on the promise and deliver" strategy will not help at all on Elance. You need to understand that time is money on the Internet and you have to do the work in time and be on good terms with the buyer.9. The escrow payments and Milestone:
Elance has a clear policy that should not be starting work unless the buyer has deposited the amount agreed in escrow. In general, milestones are set for larger jobs and even for the test works. Once the work is given to you, carefully review the terms and milestones that the buyer has the facility for you and to ask the buyer to finance the first milestone or the full amount if there is only a milestone. Do not blindly accept the work on emotion it may come to regret their decision at the end.10. Completion of work, dialogue and Recommendation:
Download the complete project in the shop and talk to the buyer consistently and keep them updated with progress on the project. Buyers love to communicate, but try to communicate through the workroom, as it will help in the future, if a dispute arises. Ask the buyer to review the work and show no willingness to make corrections if the buyer is not satisfied with the work. if you feel that you have done a great job and seemed happy buyer, but has not left feedback, then send a friendly reminder. If you are on good terms with the buyer then ask him / her to recommend you to other buyers on Elance.Your comments and the profile is what keeps you going on Elance so be sure to do everything possible to make it look great and fresh. Buyers are looking for long-term relationships on Elance, and if you have the skill and ability, you will see a lot of repeat projects rolling in.
