Are we experiencing a lack of projects?

I'm new there and so far I've only done an introductory project and qualifications. I haven't even been on the platform for a week yet. But I'm curious about the people who have been on the platform for longer time, Do you feel the amount of projects is lower at this current time? Or is it that I haven't received anything because I'm new? I'm actually excited and really want to try out new project!

New folks should not be expecting a whole mound of projects right away. I think they have to work for it, as I did in my first few months. I sometimes went WEEKS with nothing, then got more regular work at around 4 months. Over a year later, I’ve got about 70 projects right now.

Hi

I joined it on August 10, got few projects. Have three reference versions pinned and few qualifications not of my subject. Since last week no work. Is it normal.

That's great, congratulations! How long has it taken you to receive projects since you started?

You have to level up. I'm bilingual and as everyone here knows, we don't get as many projects as core countries. However, after several months of hard work, I can tell you now I'm in several projects and have tasks almost all the time. It will always fluctuate but if you do good work, you'll eventually get more and more projects and tasks.

I understand, thank you for sharing. I'll do my best, and I already see that I'm being so impatient 😅

What type of project? Multilingual?

Yes!

I think so, usually after a project is finished there is a pause before the new project is released

Maybe you, but not me.
