One month on Upwork

[#1]

Hi everyone,

It's been one month since I joined Upwork and I've already got a job! I'm really excited to have found work so quickly and am grateful to have earned seven dollars.

Now that I've been on the site for a while, I'm starting to wonder what I can do to grow my income. I'm hoping to find some advice from more experienced users.

Has anyone had success with a particular Upwork strategy? Are there any specific skills that are in high demand? I'm open to suggestions and would love to hear from you all!

Thanks,
