After reading all the information on the links that were provided to you, - something you might want to think about.

 

Data entry jobs are the lowest paying jobs with the greatest amount of work on this site. On another site, for data entry jobs, there are almost 300 freelancers applying for those jobs. Here on upwork, no actual count of how many freelancers submitted proposals, but, there is a range that's provided here. If you see >50 expect probably more as there are more freelancers registered on this site. My questions to you is:

What makes you stand out from the 300 or so freelancers? (and don't say "I do good work" because they all say that.
