How often do you get individual hire requests?

If you're expecting to get individual hire requests just by uploading some models for sale, you probably will be disappointed. I have about 150 models collection here and i didn't received single job offer just because of that. However i do regularly receive job offers from clients with whom i worked before. So you can upload your models on CGT and sit and wait for custom job offers appearing out of thin air, or you can start applying to public job offers, win them, do your job well and transform your customers into your clients. The choice is yours, but don't expect much if you won't make your move first.

I think it really depends of the period, of how many models you upload (and sell), your reputation, publishing score, presentation, kind of models you are professionnal with...
For example it s been a few months I'm here I uploaded 25 models and I got one individual hire request, a chess lowpoly pieces set request.
Better you ll be active on the website, have quality models and presentation, better you ll get individual hire requests.

I was hired thru here based on the models i sell a few times, they wanted something similar for their website and another for a game. It made me a lot more money than i will make selling my models for a few years probably.BUT, thats obviously not something you can ever count on or expect because you dont know what will come your way.

You have do first step if you want find job, I guess so. :)
Just do it. :)
