You talk about having "5 star ratings," and such. Where are you finding these jobs and where are you getting ratings? It sounds like you're using a website where people post jobs they want done and you bid on them. If so, that could be your problem. Those types of web sites tend to attract the lowest bidders with either the most boring work or the most unrealistic expectations about what could be done for what amount of money. I've been out of freelancing for about 10 years, so I don't know the scene now, but I'm sure others here would have advice on better places and ways to find freelance work.

I started working in Odesk, my first experiences where there. and I agree with you 80% of the jobs are unrealistic requirements, but I'm not getting replies from the remaining good 20% of the jobs.

I have tried to use other websites but It feels the same. I read a lot in HN about networking and that seems hard from where I am: Bolivia. :D

Thanks for you comment, and if you have a list of resources, websites or places I'll be grateful if you can share it

I'd start at meetup.com to find groups for networking. Here's at least one in La Paz:

I don't know where you are, but you can search down to the city in Bolivia: http://newtech.meetup.com/

Usually 'odesk' or equivalent.
