Hello, I'm Afra. Recently, I have completed my A'levels and now I'mwaiting for my results. In the meantime, I would like to do some data entry freelancing to gain some experience and knowledge in the world of digital freelancing. I consider myself a responsible, hardworking and orderly person. I'm excited to get my first handson experience in the tech world!

 

It's a really bad idea to join Upwork looking to get experience. You should get experienced and skilled before joining the platform, otherwise you'll just end up spending a lot of money on connects trying to get your first, low-paying jobs. Not to mention that you risk being scammed by not knowing how to conduct yourself as a freelancer.

You are welcome afra
And I’ll love to share experiences and knowledge with you

 

I am newly here and waiting for my work hopefully it goods because it's seems well it's a fully trusted website :sparkles:

Hi everyone! 

 

I like to ask in this foro about how tp get my first opportunity as a freelancer. I sent a lot of proposal but no question, btw the "Employers" that respond me, they contacted me outside of upwork and tried to put me to work with no security for me.

Hi Luciana, 

I'm fairly new to Upwork myself and I only had one assignment on Upwork so far. All I can do is echo what others freelancers say, keep sending out those proposals. It's really a numbers game. The people who have earned a lot of chedda on Upwork started out just like you and me, newbies trying to get their first gig. If you stay active on the boards and send out proposals, things will start happening.

As far as employers trying to talk to you outside of Upwork, don't do it. Don't give these people your info. There are a lot of scammers out there. If an "employer" comes on Upwork and breaks all the rules, they're not legit. 

Hello

Welcome, what is the specialty you will be offering to the site?

Hello everyone! My name is Kristy Baca and I am new here. I live in Oklahoma.

Oklahoma,
Where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain
And the wavin’ wheat
Can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain.

 

Sorry. Couldn't help myself!
