Hello upworkers i´m brand new here!

[kimm90]

okay so i guess my title says it all, i really don´t know too much about Upwork yet or freelancing in general so let’s try.
My name is Kim born and raised in Norway and I’m a freelancer currently located in Spain, I’ve worked myself through several skillsets from multiple languages to cyber security and graphic design and are now trying to launch a freelance career so I can keep continuing with my passion which is rescuing abandoned dogs and other animals which is in need of care or a new home.
In my everyday life I’m working in a farm to keep a roof over my head taking care of the daily duties around the farm to keep things going from day to day.
Why would a guy with computer background do that you are probably asking yourself? as many people are asking me
I’ll tell you that right now.
It’s because that’s exactly what i want and that’s the only reason I need to do what I’m passionate about and it makes me feel so free and allows me to spread the happiness and joy about life that I feel to everyone around me.
So enough about me.
As mentioned above i am new to Upwork and I’ve done everything I can think of to present myself well for eventual possible clients but I have not been able to catch 1 client this far.
So i was wondering if any of you experienced upworkers had any tips up your sleeves that you were willing to share with me?
In advance thank you so much!
