Freelancer.com is a popular platform for connecting freelancers with clients. However, like any online marketplace, there are scammers who are looking to take advantage of unsuspecting freelancers.

In this article, we will discuss some tips on how to avoid scammers and bid on the right projects on Freelancer.com.

1. Be wary of projects that offer too much money for too little work.

This is a common red flag for a scam. If a project seems too good to be true, it probably is. Be especially wary of projects that offer to pay you in advance.

2. Check the client’s feedback score and reviews.

Freelancer.com allows clients to leave feedback for freelancers, and vice versa. Before you bid on a project, take a look at the client’s feedback score and reviews. If the client has a low feedback score or has received negative reviews, it’s best to avoid bidding on their project.

3. Never pay money to a client outside of Freelancer.com.

Freelancer.com has a secure payment system that protects both freelancers and clients. If a client asks you to pay them outside of Freelancer.com, it’s a scam.

4. Only communicate with clients through Freelancer.com’s messaging system.

Freelancer.com’s messaging system is monitored by their support team, so if anything goes wrong, you have a record of your conversations. If a client asks you to communicate with them through email, Skype, or another messaging platform, it’s a scam.

5. Use the escrow system.

Freelancer.com offers an escrow system that protects both freelancers and clients. When you use the escrow system, the client’s money is held in escrow until you have completed the project to their satisfaction. This protects you from being scammed by a client who refuses to pay you for your work.

6. Use your best judgment.

If something about a project seems off, it probably is. Trust your gut instinct and don’t be afraid to walk away from a project if you’re not comfortable with it.

How to Identify the Real Project Based on the Project Owner’s Rating

In addition to the tips above, there are a few other things you can look for to identify real projects on Freelancer.com.

  • The project owner’s rating.
  • The project owner’s feedback score.
  • The project owner’s history of projects.
  • The project owner’s communication style.

A project owner with a high rating and feedback score is more likely to be legitimate than a project owner with a low rating and feedback score. You can also check the project owner’s history of projects to see if they have a history of completing projects on time and to their clients’ satisfaction.

The project owner’s communication style can also be a clue as to whether or not the project is legitimate. A legitimate project owner will be professional and easy to communicate with. A scammer will often be pushy or demanding, and they may try to rush you into completing the project before you have a chance to fully review it.

By following these tips, you can help protect yourself from scammers and bid on the right projects on Freelancer.com.

Here are some additional tips to help you avoid scams on Freelancer.com:

  • Don’t be afraid to ask questions. If you’re not sure about something, ask the client for clarification.
  • Do your research. Before you bid on a project, take some time to research the client and the project. This will help you to identify any potential red flags.
  • Use common sense. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Don’t be afraid to walk away from a project if you’re not comfortable with it.

By following these tips, you can help protect yourself from scams on Freelancer.com and have a positive experience working with clients.

2captcha withdrawal ($2 via Bitcoin)

I have tested 2captcha’s withdrawal method via Bitcoin. For testing purposes solved about 2K recaptchas to earn $2. In the previous post, I wrote about the solving process and time. Now it’s time to grab hardly earned money. The minimum withdrawal limit for Bitcoin is $1 and I did two withdrawals as I earned $2.

You can register with this referral link and start earning immediately: 2captcha.com

The first withdrawal took 2-3 days to appear in the blockchain.com wallet. The second one was faster and it took a few hours. There were no fees for transactions and I got $2 Bitcoins. Now it’s $2.16 as Bitcoin price has increased.

As you can see it’s legit and fast. I didn’t try other methods yet but plan in the future so stay tuned.

Make $0.05 in 15 minutes with 2captcha

In my previous post First Impressions I wrote about 2captcha and put a referral link for new subscribers. Some people used this link, registered as my referrals and tried to earn money but it seems they were frustrated about the small amount of money they earned. I have good news for them, who owns an android smartphone. You can earn 3x time faster with your phone by solving “I’m not a robot” ReCaptchas, which pays $1 per 1000 tasks. For the normal captchas, the payment rate is dynamic (today it was $0.17 and $0,4 per 1000 in different periods) and it depends on the number of workers in a particular period. Recaptchas are 3x time better and easy. You don’t want to type hardly readable words and numbers, just click on images and that’s all. In this image you can compare prices of normal captchas and recaptchas.

If you interested to make small but the easiest money, you should download 2Captcha bot from the play store and enter your Client Key from the 2captchas dashboard. You can find your key under the “Solve Captchas” tab.

I tested this app and it works like a charm. Please work very accurate and don’t make mistakes as it takes time to reenter captchas. You can find test results in my youtube video, which was uploaded especially for our blog readers. Of course, it’s up to you how fast you can solve captchas and earn as fast as you can.

Make Money Online (First Impressions)

I’m new in this field and tried a few platforms. I was looking for a platform without specific skills requirements and Country restriction. Here is result:

  1. Appen 100% legit, the best for me I have one ongoing project and doing about $50 per week, with monthly withdrawal via Payoneer.
  2. microworkers 100% legit but for small amounts for me just $5 per week. You can withdraw when you reach $10 ($9+fee) via skrill or PayPal and $22 ($20+fee) via Payoneer.
  3. Freelancer legit but too hard to get a job for newbies. Trying to get a job for a month but no success needs specific skills but sometimes you can find projects which don’t require specific skills and experience.
  4. Peopleperhour legit but too hard to get a job for newbies. Trying to get a job for a month but no success needs specific skills but sometimes you can find projects which don’t require specific skills and experience.
  5. Upwork is the top Freelancing site but with the highest competition. Needs specific skills.
  6. Fiver is the top Freelancing site but with the highest competition. Needs specific skills.
  7. 2captcha for small amounts but don’t require specific skills and experience.

wish you good luck.

Now I’m testing https://testlio.com and will share experience asap.

Update: seems testlio is not an easy one. I tried a qualification test and unfortunately didn’t pass it. I have a second chance and I will update results.

info: some links have referrals.
