If you do then you obviously figured out where the ring lies.... Let's be honest... On TikTok and YouTube you see all these videos about ppl making thousands per month.... And then they recommend a script or a gpt plug-in for chatgpt to write the text for Pinterest... For how much? $30 and higher. Let's be honest, if you're making money and as you claim thousands of dollars and are making a 5 figure income then why the f do you need to sell a guide of a gpt plug-in? Obviously it doesn't work all the time.

Now for me I am working on Pinterest. Pinterest is a garbage platform to say the least. Anyone who likes it has been on it for a while. Pinterest wants you to pay to promote your pin so your chance of the pin being seen is now better otherwise you can pins all day long and guess what happens... They'll end up getting thrown into the abyss. The truth of the matter is no one is gonna give away their secret as to how to make your pins get seen by people....

Now, obviously this is a slow game... You won't make money fast.... Unless you promote your Pinterest pins which in itself costs money starting from $5 a day.

I'll quit my rant but honestly I am frustrated.... I was hoping for a quick turnaround but I just ain't seeing it. (been on this system for a month now... Pinterest + Amazon associate).

Freelancer.com KYC/Proof of Address verification issue — experienced IT professional blocked from starting work

Hello everyone,

I am looking for advice from other freelancers who have dealt with Freelancer.com's KYC verification process.

First, I want to say that I actually like Freelancer.com as a platform. The concept is excellent: connecting skilled people with clients worldwide. As an IT professional with decades of experience in systems administration, technical documentation, and technology-related work, I was hoping to use the platform for projects such as technical writing, manuals, documentation, IT support, and other related work.

However, I have been blocked at the Proof of Address (POA) verification stage for several months.

My identity verification was completed successfully. My identification documents, biometric verification, and personal details were accepted. The only issue has been the address verification.

The confusing part is that I have submitted multiple official documents available to me, including:

Government-issued residence documentation

Rental agreement

Utility-related documents showing my name, apartment information, and address details

Other supporting documents

Despite this, the documents continue to be rejected.

What makes this frustrating is that support representatives have told me that my POA application was "cancelled" and that I need to submit new documents. However, the verification dashboard still shows that I should wait for review, which creates confusion about the actual status.

I understand that platforms need verification procedures for security reasons. That is completely reasonable.

However, I am struggling to understand what happens when the required document type differs between countries. Not every country uses the same format for utility bills, government IDs, or address documentation.

A document issued by a local authority may look completely different from a document issued in the US, UK, or Australia, but that does not make it invalid.

What surprises me is that other international platforms and financial services have successfully verified my identity using similar documentation, while Freelancer.com verification remains unresolved.

I have also noticed many successful freelancers from different regions around the world using Freelancer.com daily, completing hundreds of projects, and building careers on the platform. I am simply trying to get the same opportunity.

I am not asking for special treatment. I am asking for a manual review by someone who understands international documentation.

If anyone has experienced a similar situation, especially with POA verification, I would appreciate advice.

If anyone from Freelancer.com sees this post, I would appreciate someone reaching out so I can explain my case directly.

Thank you.
