I’ve been a member of Fiverr, and it took months just make a few sales. But it did force me to learn faster, creating one project after another. Downside was the unrealistic demands when you’re getting paid one cup of coffee per gig.
UpWork still to this day are testing me to death with their: Pass this test, now pass this test, before you can apply again you need to pass 3 more tests. You know what time it is… it’s exam time :)
So bring it on! SteemJ all the way.
