4.Never leave your direct contact detail in your proposal you will get banned from that freelancing site.

8. Read complete project description before placing your proposal cause sometime client ask service provider to mention any given word , number , answer to a question in the starting of the proposal . If you have not done that client will reject your proposal without even going through your proposal.

When the project is awarded to you or your agency clear out each and every point regarding the project description , Tell your client how you will complete the job.

Send him / her weekly report on time if it is fixed price project , in case of hourly price project elance will be sending report.

After completion of the project ask for star rating and a positive feedback as it will help you alot in getting further client.
