    Getting business is not hard, it just needs good attitude, hard work and honesty and this is true everywhere. I live in Spain that is hard hit with unemployment but the garage that I use for my car is always full and have a lot to do, why? Because he works hard and give good prices.
    There are some resturants that are always full while the resturant next to it is empty. You notice all over people who just want money but have no interest to work for it. I wanted to buy a script here in digital point, the guy insisted that he wants bitcoin and nothing else. He didnĀ“t have that many posts and wanted the money first, how can you deal with someone like that. Someone else wanted to write articles, did the job (with some small problems), got paid and disappeared and not answering emails even when I wanted to give more work. Outside of forum, I am trying to deal with an Indian company that is always trying to talk on skype and trying to jack up the price but not giving me a formal quotation and price. This is a normal problem with Indian programmers and companies who imagine that everyone in west is multi milioner and they just need to find a way to steal from them and that is the reason their price many times is higher than what you can do the same job with a company in Europe. I hope this answered your question to some extent.

    It's hard if you sit and wait for things to happen. You have to be proactive and contact prospective clients with your ideas as to how you can generate income for them.
    The problem with some people isn't that they don't have the talent but lack the ability to communicate properly. I believe that getting business initially is in the marketing aspect. If you don't know how to market yourself you are doomed to failure.
    Perhaps taking a marketing/advertising course would be beneficial to you.

    Everyone tells me that I charge too much for my time. I believe you ought to look elsewhere.
    Feel free to go to my followers list, there are 212 members on there. Many are qualified and their rates are *several* times less than what I would charge you. PM me if you require help as to choosing who to work with. Good luck to you with all.

    The first problem is you are lazy and just want to put a page and people pay you. What is this adsense optimization and how is it going to benefit the buyer. You can at least add couple of lines to explain what you are doing and how is that any different than what people can do themselves in adsense back end. Your price is unclear, $120/month for 1 web site but $240 for 6 months for MULTIPLE web sites. How many is multiple? Will you do this for 10 websites which makes the price for each web site $24? If you can do this job for $24 then why are you charging $120 /month? The page has no design that calls the to action to convince the person to buy your service and it seems you just made a page and hoping that people are stupid enough to pay you. If you can not make a page to sell your own service, how are you going to optimize other people adsense ads???

    Sell products/services that solve problems for people. It's pretty rare that someone needs AdSense optimization. The ones that need it are the ones that probably don't KNOW they need it. The ones that don't need it, are the ones that already know what it is (and probably do it themselves).

    Additionally, your website offering your services isn't grammatically correct to being with... so if I *was* looking for someone to optimize my site, I surely am not going to go with a company that has their *own* site in poor English. And then on TOP of it, I have to mail a check to Pakistan to pay? lol Yeah, no thanks.

    That is a good one :D

    Site is just a start up , I am concentrating more and more, on my elance profile,

    Actually even if Digital point gets some one specialist for ads (probably that can't be I am too busy )


    It will increase the earnings by 50% of digital point as well , I believe Every site needs Ad optimization but simply they don't know they need, it is the place from where revenue comes ,so having it 100% Optimized is first thing I will do
