PHP programming, website design , web promotion, SEO, Flash and .NET are the most popular categories with hundreds of  open projects. The chances of  getting work when you bid for projects in these categories is higher, usually there will only be 5-20 service providers.  Data entry, data conversion , proofreading and copywriting are the categories in which high skill levels are not required. For a typical project, more than 50 bidders will be ready to work at the minimum price.

Projects which close in 2-3 days are marked as urgent. Some very urgent projects even close in 1 day and have very few bidders. We have found that for many  successful service providers, the first project is an urgent project. Many providers do not check or bid for urgent projects that close over a weekend, so if you spend a few hours on Saturday and Sunday bidding  for projects, the chances of getting work are higher. After you complete your first project,  and get a good rating from the service buyer, it is much more easier to get work

Complex projects require a higher level of skill and experience. There are is a lot of demand for experienced programmers, web designers, database administrators, internet marketers and they usually have loyal customers.  When a customer clearly specifies stringent terms for payment or  the specifications for a project are non standard, there are fewer bidders for the projects. Also unusual projects like translation from English to Assamese, will have few bidders. A new service provider has a greater chance of  getting such projects.

I have observed that a person who is proficient in English, has some skill and is willing to work hard gets work within a month or so. Many buyers prefer US residents. Some buyers may try to save on project fees, by getting a project cancelled after contacting the service provider. Such buyers are unreliable and are best avoided.
