View Full Version : Why Webmasters need feedback only?

I am a new programmer at SL. I like SL for the type of stuffs they have. But unfortunately I had never been able to do a project. You know why? Just because I don't have any feedback yet! I have lost about 5 projects just because the webmaster added as an Additional Information, this insane statement which I hate nowadays::: :mad:
" Please bid only if you have good feedback. Don't waste your time bidding if you have no feedbacks. "
Now come out of it! :mad: This is just nuisance. Nobody new at SL has loads of feedback attached to his name even before he has just entered! Obviously, I can't bid for all the projects so that I at least get accepted by one of them(and get a feedback at last), because I am good at only a few languages and programs like CSS, PHP and Flash programming. So I bid for projects of my interest but there also if they pose restrictions then its just useless.
It is good if webmasters consider the work or response but feedback, no way. Feedback could be considered only if there are feedbacks and most of them are negative. It doesn't mean a programmer having no feedback is equivalent to a programming having negative feedback!
Anyway, there is no use posting here cause webmasters really don't change. Just wanted to take out this frustration out of mind and couldn't find a better place.

Patience!

We all had zero reviews when we started.

Varun....the journey for me from 0 to 23 reviews took about a year man! All you need is a truck load of patience and a little bit of good luck and then see you'll have a load of projects to keep you busy. Best of luck bro.

Here is a tip that helped me 4 years back when I started my journey on SL...

Discuss the project in PMB rather than what you can do or have done. Usually webmasters look for a programmer who understands the requirements, has ideas and communicates well rather than one with tons of feedback :)

Consider this, when you have 30-50-100 reviews, its no guarantee you will get the project, there are plenty of programmers with those many reviews. Its your understanding of the project that will win you the deal. And ofcourse a little bit of luck!

Good luck and welcome to ScriptLance!

Thanks guys for your suggestions.
I really need to have bit patience, I suppose(I do have it in many situation but not in this one, dunno why?)
I feel a bit sighed that you understood my situation :o .

Looks like I really need to wait and keep bidding on projects fancying my interests until I get one.

inet, Actually I do discuss everything in PMB but what should I do if the webmaster already says feedback is taken into account and he doesn't bother me when I post in PMB. That's the situation when you really get hurt. I bookmark the projects of my client and visit daily to see what the webmaster has replied in PMB but days after days I find no response! This has happened to me most of the times. Maybe my communication skills are not that good(doesn't mean I use foul language but maybe I m not able to explain myself out) but still the ideas I give are usually fine.

Anyway, I'll try to improve on my communication skills and ideas to be given to webmaster.

Posting is free, convince the webmaster that you're new and good. Feedback alone isn't going to safe you.

You'll be notified by email if a post has been made, IIRC, so I barely bookmark projects (or I do using the <shameless plug>SL Greasemonkey script (http://helpmewith.it/)</shameless plug>). Anyways, I have 100 feedback entries now, yet a lot of webmasters don't reply to me either, so it's not that alone ;-)

Hang in there, be patient, take the less nice projects also and get going!

My journey from 0 to 45 took about 11months or so.

In the beginning I had to fight to get projects. It is much easier now than it was then, and you also build up regular clients as you move along.

Don't worry...just be patient, keep on bidding, and do everything you possibly can to convince a webmaster that you are able to do the job to complete satisfaction.

I see all of you took time to build up a smooth freelancing journey at scriptlance. So patience is really the key. I'll do what you exactly said contrid... just be patient, keep on bidding, and do everything you possibly can to convince a webmaster that you are able to do the job to complete satisfaction.
Thank you all.

You'll have to work hard and stay honest at all times to build a positive name for yourself.

Soon you won't need to browse for projects that often anymore. You'll notice that your clients will keep on returning for more work...and they might even refer their friends/colleagues

Good luck! ;)

See...someone's giving trade secrets hehe...but these are true. I hardly pickup projects over here on a regular basis. Regular clients keep me busy all the time now...it'll take some time but its all for good;)

Just a Tip from a webmasters View.. I never even look new Programmers if they bid higher than the avg "old" programmers.. IMO is just stupid.. I mean you are new, you want webmasters to trust you and choose you and your 1st bid is high? o_O Anyways that might just be me :P

I only see this term : Please bid only if you have good feedback. Don't waste your time bidding if you have no feedbacks.

pretty rarely..

Welcome to the real world.

Example:

Programmer #1 very “old“ script kiddy :) and has 2 feedbacks. The first feedback for the project he did for feedback. The second feedback he did for food/beer ($10) :)

Programmer #2 has a lot of experience but have registered on SL one day ago. No feedbacks.

They both have placed different bids for the project named “I have $100 and want all the world”. The first programmer again puts a bid for $10. The second programmer discusses all project details with the webmaster and puts a bid for $20,000 (for example).

Two questions:
1. Who will be chosen?
2. How quickly the webmaster will complain about worst experience with this project?

IMHO, you always choose the cheapest programmer and then tell us on all SL topics about ruined business :)

Heya,

If this project was mine then NONE. (85% at least)

I was talking about an average situation. When you got lets say 5 "old" programmers with bids among $500-$1000 for example and a new one with a $2000 bid. There is only a tiny 5% to chose this one.

So..

1st. 85% NONE.
2nd. If he doesnt chose never! xD But he can complain that there are not enough programmers ;P

Cya,

* Wrong.

And viewing my ratings and past projects will tell you nothing. For ex., one programmer bid was $100. In fact I paid him $400 + I paid for Western Union transfer, etc. And I often send bonuses...


* These 2 Programmers are REALLY ill.

Communication was good until 7/25/2006 (date of his last login on SL).

Doesn't answer emails. Doesn't answer postal mails. Doesn't pick up the phone when I call him. A friend of him said he has severe pneumonia.

But might be a lie, and the "friend" might be the Programmer himself...

Well Varun. For your sake I hope you really did create the other sites mentioned in your portfolio since I have contacted the respective owners of each of them to find out if you did or not.

If you don't have a portfolio, please don't claim to own other peoples ones. Make your own. It's also giving client false information.

Also I don't believe that you made those flash sites as you contacted me and said you didn't know anything about flash and that you wanted me to make you websites so you can keep the money to "buy flash tutorials".

He found it out when one of the webmasters tried to contact me thru that page

You told me about this site. I joined it. I would have seen your forum posts and found out about this anyway. I'm dissapointed you did this man.

If there is a Script Lance moderator reading this.. you might want to check Varuns clients and make sure they are geniune and not varun signing up and giving himself good reviews.. other clients may be at risk. (If he did genuinely do the projects then I'm sorry I said that)

(btw Varun learn to use the edit button in the forum!)

Well my dear friend...many of us never had any portfolio when they started working anywhere let alone SL even when i got my first project on SL a yr or so back i had no portfolio but had the skills...but still managed to get the project. Shortcut is a way out but at the end it ends up with shame and disgrace...I hope you get the meaning....

Yes, i agree. Why don't you people understand that I feel sorry :( for what I've done and I know it is a mistake?

P.S. trendywebs, please see my quote in your post; there itself it is written that "Thought for quick sol. whc was my mistake"

Well...this is :eek: ....

I still remember those days of struggle...bidding on projects you know you can do well...losing out..lowering bid...struggling...

Its difficult for newcomers...but every single person here have gone thru the struggle and there is no shortcut to it..

Varun u did a misdeed to apdz by claiming to do his work...i'm sure you must have felt that it may not affect him...but this is simply not the way to go...you have lost a lot of credibility man..

I once remember this incident...

There was a fellow bidding on one of my projects who claimed to have made the website of a leading electronics goods producer. I checked out the site and it was credited to a reputable website designing firm...so i wrote back a pmb telling him that i have contacted the site admin and will be getting his feedback soon...

Judging by the guy's response, he must have peed in his pants..lines and lines of apologies...:D :D

Neways the bottom line is such antics never get you anywhere...

Varun you probably lost the trust that everyone had placed in you...If you want to prove your capablities, in future do not resort to using other people's portfolios...no programmer can digest that...

Apologize personally (via a personal mail ) to Apdz...and do not do such a thing again...as far as others here are concerned... trust is one thing time cannot necessarily get back....its gonna take some time to digest this act of urs.. ..I completely understand my fellow programmer's sentiments..

All you can do now is look ahead and carry on with complete honesty...

You are right converge. But only one thing wrong..."its gonna take some time to digest this act of urs".
By seeing the reactions of people here, I don't think I m now ever going to be considered capable and honest.
Fortunately for you people I m going to bid farewell to you guys because now I won't, infact, don't deserve a place here. Sorry to say, :(

Varun...


Running away won't clear your name.... Staying here and proving yourself right will...


By what you've written it is clear you're sorry for what you did.. now's the time to prove it. stay here... work good... and let us all be proud of your work...


I honestly hope you don't disappear....

Not wanting to run away. Liked this place a lot.
But not all are like you. You may be able to accept me but not most people. Also in forums you stay to give opinions/sugg./advices/maybe your work pieces and I m sure all of these of mine would be lame enough now as you all say.
Evem if I stay it doesn't seem I would be able to post as would be probably ashamed of doing it also.

Hey Varun!

First of all cheers for saying sorry and all that :D Don't leave, stay, learn, get better.. then you can laugh at all us lol

Second of all... don't continue to lie by saying you have the skills. You told me you didn't.

Also it would be nice if you apologized to the designers of the other sites. Especially Nathan as he made a very nice site :P

Anyway... Just don't go it again and your fine - I'm too lazy to hold grudges :D

@Varun - if you need something by way of encouragement, I'm someone who doesn't have a portfolio yet, but let's say *cough* I manage to survive (https://www.scriptlance.com/cgi-bin/freelancers/feedback.cgi?p=42ndfreak). As for skills - I'm not a brilliant coder (great, I suppose I'm not going to get hired for a good while now) - my knowledge is rather limited, but I do a few things and I daresay I do them sufficiently well - so hopefully you see that you don't need to pretend to be someone else to get a job.

Like everyone's pointed out, focus(/practice/communication/patience) is the key, running away isn't. By the looks of it, you seem to have realized that you made a mistake, so I'm not going to rub it in. Play honest and work hard, and good luck with the projects.

@apdz: I must say I admire your spirit (as much as you might want to call it laziness)... and nice work, too. :) Cheers!
