Few people thinks that, whether they have to try hard and keep their patience for first project in odesk.com or maximum up to 05 successful projects. But they are absolutely wrong. because, you have to keep your patience for every projects(whether it's first or century project). in contrast, you may consider patience as it's reverse proportional of successful projects you have completed. for someone who is brand new in oDesk.com should be more passionate then someone who have 10 successful projects in his/her portfolio. similarly someone having 120 projects working last 3-4 years is more confident then former two.
How to become more passionate? it's the tough question for everyone. i have few recommendations for you. first of all, plan yourself, you will bid 2-3 projects daily and minimum 30 days regularly. maintain this schedule strictly(not as military but decently). apply same category job everyday. study job description with full of your passion. if you don't understand or suppose requirements critical to you, share it with your buyer.
One further point is that, contractors need to be passionate in communication as well. i found most of the buyers are busier then contractors. They sometimes forget things because of their business. it's contractors duty to knock and remind them gently. It's an effective way of getting contracts. to increase your passion you should be more focused on your planning instead of outcomes. it may happen that, you plan to apply for next 30 days(2-3 projects daily). and in day 14 you might get frustrated if you look you have no response from buyer. you might slow down if you focus on outcome, but if you more focused on your planning(30 days) then it would be easier for you to snatch success by your own planning.
For few projects, i found my client doesn't response for 2-3 days or even up to weeks. which is very unusual for me about that client. But after weeks when he/she come back i get surprised, buyer response with great excitement like, winning of project, share idea of another project and 100% chance of win and few more. all these happened only because of daily PM to buyer about that project, waiting for his/her decision or something like these. patience is exactly proportional to success opportunity here.
