i think sometimes the psy rate also is a problem some people find their pay rate to be too low and another thing is the duration of time needed to work which might be too long

Unfortunately, freelancing sites properly so-called (so nothing to do with publish0x or steemit where I have the habit to publish my e-books) require a very stricter schedule compared to the ones mentioned and similar to them. Due to my business and studying routine, I cant' be that dedicate to activities requiring a short timeline to be completed, as freelancing sites customers require.

Currently, I am not active on freelancer sites as I have regular buyers buying my services through my own website, webmaster forums as well as a social site. The main reasons I am not active on freelancer sites is because of the commissions I have to give.

My offline job will not give me time to concentrate on freelancing sites. Freelancing is better if one is self employed and have control over his time. Secondly, freelancing is very competitive and not suitable for anybody. But PTP is simple and everybody is invited.

It's better to start when you are ready as this way you won't be able to make the amount you like to and may not be able to complete the freelacing work

I don't have the patience to wait for so long before I get a gig that would earn me good money. I prefer to advertise my services on social media and LinkedIn.

I think a lot of people don't freelance online because of other engagements or theur offline job. They will not have the time needed to concentrate on freelancing sites daily

It's very good question, I started working online as a freelance writer, I applied and applied but no work there nobody invited me to write, on upwork and freelancer I applied for so many jobs but just wait and wait and there is a limit for wait so I quit to applying for work.

I don't work on freelancing sites because I don't have a good portfolio and skills to back it up. Because I know the tasks are usually not easy. And the rules there are usually very strict and I find it difficult to survive on sites like that.

Because I also have offline job and time is not on my side I used to be a freelancer back in the days but I decided that it's not for me since I didn't had time for myself and my family

In order to earn big from freelancing websites we need to have the required skills and peace of mind and calmness to work for longer hours and should be flexible and quick enough to complete work on time.

Those on freelancing sites make more money than post to paid sites so why are you not on freelancing sites. For me it is the lsck of skills though I can write articles how about you?
Well as we speak right now I have not been able to perform on any freelancing site because there are some things I still need to learn about freelancing which will enable me to earn easily.

Freelancing now favours the established freelancers who have gigs regularly and would continue t have. I am still taking my time to establish myself in freelancing. Gigs are hard to get for newbie freelancers.

Sure, people on freelance websites make much more money than those working on paid to post forums, but getting gigs on freelance websites is where the job is, some people have registered on a freelance websites for over months but are yet to get gigs, because it doesn't come easy.

Getting jobs on freelancing gigs is a matter of reputation. And some people had built this reputation. I don't want to spend months waiting for gigs. I rather hustle gigs from forums and other platforms.

My point exactly though people on freelance websites make much more money but getting gigs on freelance websites is not easy unlike when you need to work on PTP sites

I have not tried to work on a free launching site. I lack interest that might be because I already have a good job. I think it is so good to explore that field.

For most freelancing sites, bidding is required, which is very time consuming and there is no guarantee of getting any work. The member may submit 20-30 bids and not get any order at all, wasting his time.
