Overview
Odesk.com adalah situs freelance di mana pengusaha dan pekerja lepas bertemudan mungkin masuk ke dalam hubungan kerja. Sebagai freelancer online, Anda tidakperlu membayar apapun untuk mendapatkan pekerjaandi oDesk. Pendaftaran benarbenar gratis.
Ada 3 pemain kunci dalam oDesk:
1. ODesk Company/Team Bertanggung jawab atas pemeliharaan website dan operasi.Contractor bertindak atas nama team, dimana client mempekerjakan team/company.dan bertindak sebagai perantara antara dua pihak>> Pengusaha & Kontraktor(pekerja).
2. Pengusaha/Employer – adalah mereka yang mempekerjakan pekerja sesuai dengankebutuhan mereka (fulltime atau paruh waktu, jangka pendek atau panjang, atas dasar
3. Contractor / Freelance Ini adalah pekerja atau pekerja lepas tersedia untuk dihire. Biasanyaada 2 tipe pekerjaan. Yaitu Fixed Work atau Hourly Rate.
Pada dasarnya, sistem oDesk bekerja seperti ini:
Seorang Pengusaha akan posting tawaran pekerjaan dan 1 ataulebih Kontraktor dapat melamar pekerjaan dengan "penawaran". Misalnya, perusahaan ABC ingin menyewa asisten virtual (VA) danbersedia membayar $10/hour, kontraktor mungkin melakukan bidding danmemberikan "tawaran" bahwa ia dapat bekerja sebagai VA sebesar $ 8/hour ($ 8adalah bid yang diset oleh Contractor).
Jika majikan menerima tawaran, kontraktor mendapatkan pekerjaan. Pembayaranuntuk pekerjaan yang dilakukan adalah dilakukan melalui sistem oDesk dan akandikreditkan ke rekening kontraktor dikurangi biaya oDesk (fee oDesk adalah 10%, dan inidibebankan ke Pengusaha. Bukan kontraktor). Kontraktor kemudian dapat melakukanwithdrawal setelah masa tenggang 1 minggu bisa melalui Paypal, MoneyBookers,BankWire.
Registration dan Profile Untuk users yang telah melakukan registrasi. Dapat melihat video oDesk.com disini. Di link ini
ada beberapa pekerjaan yang require test tertentu, jadi makin banyak test makin bagus.
Walaupun newbie, lebih mudah dapat pekerjaan kalau ikut test/quiznya banyak.
Tips buat ikut test :
Untuk test, gunakan google. Karena semua jawaban ada disana biasanya, atau download
dulu ebook yang berkaitan dengan test.
Jangan takut ambil test sebanyak banyaknya. Kenapa karena kalo test failed gak keliatan
ama client, dan kalo nilainya misalnya average, bisa diset biar gak keliatan ama client. Ini

Consideration for First Time Users / Bidder.
Okay... there are a lot, and I do mean a lot, of posts asking about how to get that first job. I check theseposts from new people who are asking "why can't I get hired" and when I go to look, their profilesaren't even filled out, no tests are taken, or what is filled out is just filled with mistakes. To top it all off,there are just as many contractors handing out bad advice.
That's not to say that my advice is the absolute best; nor will it work for everyone. But it's a system thatworks for me, and has been working for me since I joined oDesk. If you really want to get that first job,hopefully this will at least serve as a starting point for you.
My hope is that other oDesk freelancers will read and add to this posting any thoughts on what works forthem that might be different from what I post here.
So, going through step by step to landing that first job...
1. Set up your profile! Yes, a lot of people come to online sources because it's easy and convenient butthat doesn't mean that they want to completely give up the personal experience as well. Your profile is whatwill introduce you as a person as well as an applicant to the people reviewing your cover letter. Make itcount.
Overview One of the most important parts of your profile is your overview. It should introduce you tothe client and establish your objective. Use this to set you apart from other contractors. "I write fast andcan get the job done quickly." So what! Chances are, 90%95% of the other applicants can, too. So howare you any different? "I want to be the best provider to my clients." Again, so what!? This doesn't help youat all because everyone else says the same thing. Not to mention it should be a given that you want toprovide the best service. Your overview should answer the question "why you should hire me over theother guy" ... If it doesn't answer that question, it's not a good overview.
Picture After all, they speak a thousand words, right? It's not a requirement to have a picture, but itdoes help. Make sure you follow oDesk's identity policy when choosing a picture to post but in general,any picture of you with a smile on your face will do wonders for you. People like to put a face to a font... Sogive them one.
Hourly Rate I hate to say it, but there are a lot of clients that will look at your hourly rate. I am nottalking about whatever rate you bid on a project, but the rate that is displayed on your profile. This rate
should reflect the level and quality of work that you provide and should be a fair reflection of a going ratefor the field / category you are interested in working for. Is there a difference? Of course! Can you expectto get paid the same amount of money for site scraping as you can for writing articles? Probably not unlessyou are the best darn web scraper in the world (and can back it up!). If you're not sure what to set yourrate at, look through at other providers, or go through the oConomy pages, figure out how much youwould be paid for the exact same job at an office, or do a search to see if you can find out what theaverage going rate is for that field and adjust that average to reflect your experience level.
Resume Also important because your resume houses all of your skills. Are you a web designer? Great!Then post your CSS, PHP, Javascript, Drupal, Joomla!, and Wordpress skills! A lot of clients search forproviders based on these skills how will they find you if you don't have them listed anywhere on yourprofile? And your resume is the perfect place to showcase these skills because it allows you to also place abrief description of how you have used this skill in the past and display how long you have been using it.
Take and Show Tests Some clients won't even look at you if you're not oDesk ready so take thattest! Beyond that take any other test that will help show just how good you are at something. How is aclient going to know that you're the best web site designer if the only test you took was an English skillstest and a telephone etiquette test? Go to the oDesk tests and search for tests that are relevant to yourfield and take them. Then make sure you show the ones you need. Tests you happen to fail willautomatically be hidden, anyway; But those tests where you barely pass, hide them until you can retakethem and try again. Everyone is entitled to a bad day, no need to display for all to see that you are in thebottom 20% of people who took the test. Retake tests as you get the chance to raise your scores andshow off your knowledge.
Build a Portfolio This may be easier for some than others... But a portfolio is a great way to displayyour work. If you build web sites place some links in there to web sites that you've built. If you're anartist, then throw together some logos and interface designs and place them up there. Writer? Post a linkto your blog... Anything that will show examples of your work without violating any terms of service is good.Also important, once it's up keep it updated. Check the links to those web sites to make sure they're stillworking and place up new examples of your work as you complete them.
Be Honest If your English isn't a 5.0 then don't rate it at 5.0... Clients will be able to figure it out and youwill look like a liar. If you can't be honest about something like how fluent you are in English, why shouldanyone believe that you're being honest about anything else?
2. Once your profile is set, then it's time to sell your self to the clients. And by sell your self, I don'tmean pay them for the privilege of working for them. I mean convince them that they should hire you andpay you what you want. So, how do you do this? Cover Letters. Write a cover letter that A) Proves you knowwhat you're talking about, B) Proves that you've read the job description, C) Explains your costs and terms(such as how many hours it will take to complete, or how much money you will require upfront for a fixedrate, or any guarantees that you offer).
And for goodness sake don't send the same cover letter to each and every job posting. The clients alwaysknow. You aren't fooling anyone so just stop.
Never beg for a job... It makes you look desperate, not professional. Never lower your hourly rate to aridiculous amount in hopes of landing a job (or worse, offering to work for free)... Again, it makes you lookdesperate and gives the impression that you don't deserve whatever amount you have posted on your profile.
Now, for me and I know other contractors disagree with this (and that's fine) I also include a paragraphwithin my cover letter that explains about the ability to contact me. I don't include my contact information but I do let them know that I am available via Skype, email, and cell phone as well as via my oDeskmessage center. I also let them know that all of these messages are forwarded to my cell phone to helpexpedite communications (well, except calls to my cell phone since that would be redundant). I include thisbecause I would want to know how easy it is to get a hold of a contractor, or if I would be limited to just theoDesk message system.
Also, for me, I will ask all sorts of questions in my cover letter. Some contractors view this as unprofessional,and that's fine. Like I said this advice won't work for everyone. But if there's a discrepancy in the jobdescription, or if I just want to know more details than was given, I ask then rather than waiting for theinterview. What does this do for me? In a lot of cases, the clients want to answer the questions, which givesthem more of a reason to place me into an interview, which gives me a better chance of talking to them andconvincing them that I am the best candidate to hire for their project.
This doesn't mean just start asking any stupid question you can think of. "What's your favorite color?" willprobably get you rejected. But asking a question like "Do you think you might also be interested in havingTwitter integrated onto your site?" will raise an eyebrow.
How else can you sell your self? Glad you asked. You don't have to rely on oDesk's search function to findjobs. Nor do you have to rely on the idea that a client will find you and invite you to an interview. Do youhave Facebook, MySpace, or another site that you use? Find the little badges in your account and post themup! Chances are, one of your friends on Facebook might see that you are available for hire as a writer andthey might know someone who just wrote a book that needs editing.
And finally...
3. Bid often and Bid Reasonably Earlier I spoke about the hourly rate that is posted on your profile now I'm talking about the hourly rate or fixed price rate that you enter onto the little application form that willaccompany your cover letter. This bid can be different from what's posted on your profile but it should stillbe reasonable. What do I mean by reasonable?
Make sure it is worth your time Make sure it will cover your expenses (such as cost to withdraw) If it is fixed price, make sure it reflects the amount of time you will be working on that project
Remember, it looks bad if your hourly rate on your profile says that you charge $10 per hour if you then bidon a project at $1 per hour... And you shouldn't let a client's budget dictate the level and quality ofprofessionalism that you can provide.
And bid often! I still continue to fill out my quota of 20 applications per week. If a client is not responding tomy application after a couple of weeks, I withdraw that application so I can apply to another job. The onlytime I slow down on my bidding is if I am beginning to get overloaded with projects. Don't send out just 23applications and then get disheartened that neither one has accepted you yet.
This doesn't mean sit down and apply to 20 jobs all in one day spread them out. I read through just aboutevery hourly job posted (I always filter out the fixed price jobs), but I probably apply to only 45 jobs everyday, if that many. Be discerning if the job isn't worth your time, wait a couple more hours and see whatnew jobs have been posted. It won't do you any good to apply to a job that you're only semiinterested inonly to find a great job that you would love to work on but can't apply because you've reached your limitalready.
Okay wow, this is really long. Hopefully this will help to get some of you started. But, long as this is youalso need to remember that this is not the most complete listing of advice, and it's not meant to be theendall beall or any sort of guarantee that following these steps will get you hired, just a system that worksfor me. Remember to find your own niche whatever works for you.
