I'm finding it to be a challenge on this site in terms of helping people, my main skill is graphics,
I opened a service nope 3 people in total wanted something I obliged and received compliments about my work.
Then nothing silence so I start wondering about the possibilities is it because of my rep, post count or not having gold?
It's really a stuggle I genuinely want to give people decent work that I enjoy it to on a daily basis, like before famous wanted an example of what I can do without details what he wanted it really annoyed me at the fact he said he'd get back to me then out of the blue someone else was chosen waste of my time. Just really annoying me.

it's not all about helping people,it's just about interacting and being nice,you don't HAVE to be super useful every post, and if you're offering a free service I would say that's helpful. I wouldn't worry too much about your thanks and rep because sometimes it isn't an accurate measure of being "famous" on the site,just enjoy being here and talking to people and just generally be nice,That makes you a useful member. Help out when needed.

I'm honestly a nice guy sure you're too I love doing what I do but honestly I have a genuine fear of being useless I'm trying to be nice; I will definitely take your advice though thank you. Woes

I'm going to be straight up with you... New users, users with low post counts/rep, and users without gold all kinda go unnoticed. (My rep / post count isn't even high!) I mean, this kinda thing happens in every community you will ever be a part of, in real life or on the internet. There is always some group socially deemed as the minority.
The biggest reason why, is because of the stereotype that all the type of users I mentioned above do is spam or post useless material. Which can sometimes, and I guess more than not, be the case.
It's hard starting out here. There are some very welcoming people, and some very, very unwelcoming people. But all I have to say is: You have a place here on TTG. Never stop trying to give to this community.
It's hard finding a place. The main reason why my rep is as high as it is (compared to post count) is because a while back I hosted Black Ops Boosting Lobbies for a while. I never thought I'd ever be doing that. Generally, though, I just spend my time reading what people have to say. And then when I have something worthy of saying, like this, I post! (Most of my replies are pretty long, I'm sure so many just skip over haha).
Maybe your thing is graphics! You gotta start small (it's all you can do), and you can't give up! The more people you do work for, the more you'll become recognizable.
But in the mean time, while you wait for clients, check out the other sections and their topics. Explore. Interact with people. Make friends. When you have something to say, say it! "Just do you, bro". As long as you don't break the rules, of course!
Like I said, you are part of this community for as long as you choose to be.
Best of luck with your GFX work, man.
