Here are some tips for getting your first job on Upwork:
Create a polished profile. Include a professional photo, well-written bio, qualifications, skills and experience. This is your opportunity to introduce yourself.
Fill out all profile fields completely. Provide details clients want to know like rates, response time, availability, language skills, etc.
Post some samples of your work in your portfolio. This could include past client work, freelance projects, or personal work to showcase your skills.
Set affordable hourly rates or fixed prices for basic jobs. New freelancers usually charge lower rates to build experience and reviews.
Browse active job posts and apply to those you're qualified for. Tailor your proposal to specifically address what the client asks for.
Reach out to clients and include a short personalized message. Explain why you're best suited for the job and how you can help.
Be responsive. Reply to client questions within a day. Clients prefer freelancers who communicate quickly.
Complete your first few jobs well within the agreed scope. Deliver work on time and on budget to get positive reviews.
Gradually increase your rates as your profile, skills and qualifications improve over time.
Join relevant categories, contribute high quality posts, and build connections in the communities.
Patience and perseverance are key when starting out. With a professional approach, relevant work samples and competitive pricing, you can land that first job.
