On my 6 days here being active was so good that I earned money for the necessities of my kids and family. My clients come and go and leave a beautiful feedback again and again. However, after upwork suspend my account with a silly reason. My clients never trusted me anymore after get back. They left I guess, or I don't know. Maybe they find another freelancer. Honestly, I am crying now. I was about to save 20$ for the premium account to earn 100 connects. But due to emergency funds of buying rice for my family. The money was now already gone for gone, or had spend it already.
All I have to do is to wait next month to have a 10 connects. And if my proposal will be declined. I have no choice but to leave and returned again for another month for another 10 connects. Connects is so expensive. Can't afford it :'(
But at least, I'd love the experience how client praise your and thanking you for helping their very simple problems. It's all about bidding. It's all about who's gonna get lucky next day. And more on using brains. Because I kept accepting jobs with low rates. Maybe next time, I'll choose high rates to buy my own premium account.
