I love the (no 2) about listed bounties not paying, I did a bounty campaign for a project that was supposed to pay me very well cos I did all their social media campaigns, Article and Video and was actually counting on the payment but at last was disappointed and it thought me a very big lesson, never depend on a project even of its listed
Well, that is the risk of participating in every bounty campaign. You will need to spend your time and effort in exchange of the possibility of getting paid. Not because it is already listed, it doesn't mean that there is a guarantee that you will get your payment. That's why we should still continue to hunt and continue to improve our work.
Experienced is the best teacher not to give up, use that failure to start strong, do your deeper research and keep trying
to participate with project that you think that will bring something good. Don't let those past experienced to pull you down
instead use it to push yourself up, boost yourself to continue finding the right project for you.
