Hello am new to upwork..i need someone who can walk with in upwork 

[85b84ae4]

Hi Mayur,

Thanks for your reply. For 2 months, I have been bidding for projects at high prices and low prices and no luck. Updated my profile by reading Upwork academy materials. I am disappointed as only spammy client messages I received twice, thought it was a real job opportunity and spent hours answering their questions, and waste of time they were frauds, and scams. I am not sure if I should proceed on this platform again. 

[578336a7]

I am new to this platform and like you have bid for projects at high and low prices too. Unforunately, I have not found any luck at all. I am hoping that I may find that elusive project soon but I have also received client messages that are either a scam/pyramid scheme. I will give it a few more tries before I decide on whether to continue here or not. I have had huge respect for Upwork as it seems to be the go-to site for legit freelancing works, but it seems the scammers have stepped up their game as well.

Hi to you all,

I'm doing writing, copy and paste etc. Whatever might befall me and I can master, it, I will do. From South Africa but planning to come visit. With excitement and a lot of anticipation I joint this platform, jip to make money, but that is not the real reason, it is to grow on my knoledge, my skills, my ability just to name a few. I'm a old student (56) and new to a lot, but don't believe you can't teach a old dog new tricks, looking forward to the possibilities that will arise; patiently, they will come.

Thank you for the opportunity to be in this group and platform.

Hello,

I'm a multidisciplinary artist based out of Pune, India. I'm an actor, voice actor, speech and drama coach and a musician. However I'm mostly looking for voiceover and voice acting gigs on UpWork.

One of the main learning I need to take from others here is how to build myself and my career as a freelancer on Upwork.

I take inspiration from a variety of things. While i have my favourite musicians and artists, my main source of inspiration comes from nature and anything to do with it.
