To get started in freelancing , you need to first get a skill and build on it or learn one if you don't have any, building more on your skill makes you exceptional and different from other freelancers and this will influence your ratings and recommendation on the sites.

There is a lot of competition on these freelance websites, and some users find it difficult to get any work. Also the marketplaces can delete or suspend the account without notice. Yesterday a Ukrainian member of Upwork was complaining that his account was disabled after 10 years, and he lost all his contacts.

I am not demotivating you, but let me share my own experience as I didn't get any success in Upwork, although I am trying to get work from there from too long but still didn't get any. You see videos about this topic, then you may get some Clue.

Before you start freelancing on Upwork, you must update your skill set first. I tried both freelancing websites, but I was unable to get work. They are both saturated. They normally give top priority to individuals who have ratings.

I also tried it, i could not really get job there. The truth of the matter is that it is usually very hard to get jobs on these freelancing platforms especially as a beginner.
