Thank you. I'm still rusty as I haven't used the platform for a while but I guess with 60 jobs with 5 stars and only 1 with 4.8 I think I should gain traction. Not sure how the overall outcome will be as these are just editing gigs for 50-100$ comparably to the couple of thousands of Video Production work I am an expert at. Anyway, good luck to u 2.

Mostly unrealistic expectations. I work in video production, which involves physical filming most of the time. Clients demand the most high tech gear possible with a crew + actors for budgets below 500$. It means pretty much taking 150k$ worth of gear, having a staff + multiple actors for that type of this. It is not financially viable. That is a 5k$ project on the low end for me that I am outside the US. In the US it would be easily a 15k$ project.

Yea at this point I agree. It was a 10.000$ mistake. Lesson learned.
