Hey good people. Something weird is happening to me.
It's been 3 straight weeks applying to 5 -10 jobs per day but I landed "0" in the past 3 weeks, I've used almost $60 buying connects and jeez 0. What could be wrong? Am I doing something wrong? It's never been like this though before. Is this normal?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Yes, that's normal. Freelancing always has ups and downs. Continue to work on improving your JSS. Is one or more of your in progress jobs stale? You could ask your client(s) to end it and receive feedback.
