Tell us why you stopped trying to find work on freelance type of websites?

After many years of working on freelance sites im finding it impossible to be awarded jobs on freelance type of websites, How many of you have giving up trying to obtain work on freelance websites? and what reason do you have for giving up ?

 

i totally gave-up, because the final product that they request always being after 1000s of revisions and it is totally bad.

 

I gave up too
If you are new, its almost impossible to get awarded

 

I only work for my old customer, the competitive of freelance job is too high, some of them are offering very low price (i highly doubt on the quality). I still quite the same and keep the quality of the service, therefore hard to get project from new buyer, mainly work for my old customer

 

I found the sites like freelancer.com for freelancing are a scam. people use to contract a job and then do not pay and half of the jobs posted are fake.

 

I gave up because most of the freelancers on those sites were people that were way more willing to handle huge workloads for peanuts, which almost seemed to devalue what I had to offer. Besides, gig sites turned out to be way more profitable and popular for outsourcing anyway!
