How to Avoid Bad Rating in VWorker?


 In Freelancing sites like VWorker (formerly RentACoder), workers are judged and evaluated based on a feedback/rating model where employers rate the employees for each project they work on. The aggregate of all the ratings given to an employee (freelancer) determines how organized, professional and efficient an employee is. Most of the employers choose those freelancers who possess strong rating and a good feedback on their past projects. 

 Getting good rating on VWorker like sites is a trick and some workers fail to get good ratings and feedback even after doing good work. Here are some very important and useful tips for online workers who work on sites like VWorker:

  • Remember that you communication with the employer matters a lot. Always make sure that you understand all the project details before starting work on it. This will make sure that your deliverable meets the requirements and isn't something which may cause some conflict between you and your employer. Projects which end with a conflict and arbitration often lead to a poor rating. 
  • Make sure that you take a good care of tmelines. If you fail to deliver in time, chances are that your employer will rate you poorly and also won't be giving you any future projects.
  • Always do a very organized and strong effort estimation so that you know very well how much project is going to cost and how much time its going to take. If you start blaming about low income or low budget after winning a project, employer won't entertain you and will rate you poor. 
  • Remember, if you complete one project with an employer on VWorker like sites, chances are that he or she will award you more projects. However, it has been observed that if for any reasons you don't accept a new project from the employer, he may rate you poor for the project which you have completed. In such cases, of course you can't do anything except requesting him not to rate you poor for the work which you have done prior. 
  • Never opt for tasks which you can't do. Always be in your professional and skill limits. Bid on only those projects which are easily manageable for you.

Top and Best Ways to Promote a Facebook Page

Facebook has become the most popular resort on internet where people not only socially interact for fun, but it has also become a touch point for all sort of business, entertainment, information and other sectors. Having an existence on Facebook has become very vital and important for any business or industry. 
how to promote facebook pageSo many people create Facebook Fan Pages (now known as Like Pages) for some kind of business, celebrities, communities etc to socially interact with others, to share information and views and to keep people updated. Making a Facebook page is very simple and free and takes even less than a minute but the real challenge is to promote the page and to let the world know about the page. So many pages are created on Facebook but they fail to get required likes or clicks and hence fail to serve the purpose. 
There are some tips and tricks that can be followed by pages admins to get a substantial growth for their pages and to get noticed by a huge number of targeted audience on this gigantic social media platform. 
Here are the top and best tips to promote a Facebook page:
  • The name of your Facebook page matters a lot. Make sure that the name of your page is easy to spell, easy to pronounce and matches the purpose of page. For example, I have a Facebook page for Freelancing Tips and Tricks and I have named it as "Freelancing Tips and Tricks (Work From Home)".  The name of the page clearly matches to the purpose of the page and also easy for people to understand. 
  • Make sure that URL of your page is very precise, simple and easy to spell. For my Freelancing tips and tricks page, I have following URL:
      You can see how simple and easy this name is. 
  • Photo Tagging is the best and most successful way to promote a Facebook page. Create some unique and innovative photo, upload it on your page and then tag people in this photo. More you tag people in a photo, more is the page reached and hence more it's liked. Try to tag those people which are more related to the subject of your page. For example, for my Freelancing tips and tricks page, I always prefer to tag those people who are directly or indirectly related to Freelancing industry. 
  • Create interesting and involving polls on your page. Polls are highly liked by Facebook audience and they are more prone to respond to polls. 
  • Make sure that you keep your page fully alive and keep on adding new posts, new videos, new links etc on regular basis.
