Hello everyone. My name is Chloe and I am a new freelancer on Upwork. I have been applying and submitting proposals but only had one response that went quiet on me. I am keen to connect with other freelancers and get some good advice about how to get started. Much appreciated.

Hi Chloe T.,
Getting the first job on any freelance site is a bit difficult. Even if you have a good experience.
So, How to get a job?
According to my experience...
I also check these lists before applying for a job post.
Mostly, I will apply for 5-6 countries job posts only.
This is just my practice. So far I have not met any scammers.
Before starting the work...
Know what not to do here.
For Example...
If you need an answer to any question, search your question first in the community. If you don't get an answer, post your question. Because you will get late reply when you post.
