People Per Hour

Anyone taken any work from this website yet? I've registered with them but yet got around to bidding for the work. There's all sorts of jobs out there - mostly doesnt matter where you are based..... Virtual Assistants, Telephonists, Web Design, Date Input........loads. I'm going see whats suitable.
I havent posted the link - am I allowed to on here?

    yes, I have. The first few jobs were a bit of a nightmare as you gain 'feedback' type status, so initially I found I needed to do work for peanuts in order to be granted the work - i think ppl thought 'well, at that price we may as well take a punt' lol. I started doing small fixed projects say 5 hours telesales for £50 with no commission- but they then PPH want their £15 so i walked away with £35 which has to be taxed and my call costs needed to be met etc but once i had feedback I could compete with ppl who have been active a while..so its a kind of catch 22 situation initially

    Brians Daughter - So yesterday I've tried to apply for some part time PA/secretarial work on there. It's my first time applying. I filled in as much info as I could about myself and my experience, I bid quite low. So what do I do now, just wait and see if I am lucky or not? When you say you need to build 'feedback' - how do you do that? I'm a bit confused by it. Do you get feedback from people who give you work from that site?
