Waiting time to find out if proposal has been accepted

Hello - 

 

How does one know the waiting time until finding out if a proposal is accepted?

 

Thank you for any information.  Have a good day!

Zero. I never wait for anything after sending a proposal. 

I want to caution you against offering data entry. Too many scammers, too little pay.

There isn't any way to know. Some clients choose a freelancer right away, others after weeks or months, and some don't choose anyone and the projects simply expire. The majority of your proposals won't be accepted, so don't wait around. Continue bidding on anything that looks like a uniquely good fit (not just anything that you can do - there's a difference). 

Thank you for the info!  There are a couple right now that are along the lines of my personal research I was hoping for, but, I'll make sure I save time and ...   onward and upward.... proposing for a couple more (and making sure I have the time for all if I'm lucky enough to be that fortunate!!)     :  )

 

Thank you!

Please be super careful, your category is loved by scammers. Run away if you are asked to communicate via Skype or Telegram, share your ID, etc.
