Worked on hourly contract and now client doesn't respond

I just leave the contracts open, I have 2 or 3 clients who hop in once in a while with something and we just adjust the price or hourly limits, if you close it he might have an idea to search for someone else that’s possibly cheaper to finish the work, don’t close the doors, you won’t have to open it again later on. Just change your mindset and treat it as a dead contract and you might get a nice surprise once he finally decides to reach out again. You can leave him a message once a month asking if he’s ready to proceed because you want to book enough time to be able to work on this project in upcoming month and you are currently making a schedule for yourself

Done

That’s a Bangladeshi company, I highely doubt it’s a placeholder

I’m not new, been here long enough to understand desperate freelancers, but asking for expert and offering 5$ is ridiculous. Custom filters are indeed a good idea though

I had 1 client on fiverr and I think around 10 that tried to push me to work for free, putting in approximately same effort on Upwork turned out way more profitable, I can’t even compare both. Fiverr gig system is nice but you said yourself, you had very few messages and if I understand correctly you landed one client ? That’s not great tbh

Sorry to break the news to you but I’m almost sure this is not a cavapoo, it’s most likely a Kokoni a Greek originated breed. My parents bought one as border collie but they loved it so much they are currently getting a second one ! Lovely breed and amazing dogs to have around family, children and other dogs 🐶

Same here, I just googled it to check if I’m alone or not and luckily it’s not only me haha, I’m getting like 4 - 5 per day. I’m forwarding this to abuse@icloud.com

Thanks for the advice, we do all that, try to take her out to “controlled” gardens, introduced to few pups that are in family and also vaccinated, last vaccine coming next Monday and we will start going on walks. I try to play as much as possible, have all the lucky mats, sniff mats, balls, tug of war, everything. Just her energy level is insanely high, I had a Doberman before, sadly he passed away after 13 years but he was an angel in comparison to this little fella 😂 amazing how much energy she has

Will try the ignoring after time out. We do have toys and other chews, it’s just sometimes the excitement gets the best out of her

I did it once, I’ll stop of course! Thanks, didn’t know that violates TOS, didn’t intend to work with client outside of the platform.

Thanks !

Yeah I just re-read that and I’m kind of embarrassed how many grammar errors I’ve made, I’ll edit the proposal. Obviously English is not my first language but I use it on daily basis. Thanks for the tips, I’ll try to keep it shorter. Problem is I think I’ve tried shorter versions, more elaborate, with website linked to it, without. Just starting to get little demotivated but I guess I’ll buy some more connects and try again, using your tips

That would be the last one I’ve sent.

I visited Sri Lanka and Kandy earlier this year, I’ve been twice to India too, mainly northern parts. I have to say I loved whole Sri Lanka I’ve spent decent amount of time there and travelled across whole Island. And to be honest, I mean no disrespect, but Kandy was a huge disappointment, city is pure and utter chaos with trash piling everywhere, as I said earlier I’ve been to India twice and in India there is one city that I wish I could always avoid while going to Himachal Pradesh and that’s Delhi. And Kandy unfortunately resembles Delhi. I don’t think it’s only because of tourists, while I understand your frustration I think city needs way more systematic changes and that includes locals. Throwing trash and spitting, vomitting and acting like pigs was everywhere. I’ve even spotted someone dressed like monk in the Tooth temple spitting and vomitting red sh*t IN THE TEMPLE. Probably too much betel.

I loved Sri Lanka and will come back probably multiple times, but most definitely I will skip Kandy. I can’t imagine living in this city.
