I am a new seller. I have opened an Upwork account about a month ago, so far I have not received any work. Tell me how can I get Upwork a job.

As a new Upwork user, there are several fundamental steps you must take to begin securing job opportunities on the platform. These include composing job proposals to bid on projects, uploading your portfolio and past work, and ensuring your account is fully completed.

Hi Mahlet, Hope you're well. Upwork is a large community with many talents. You stand out in the midst of many by optimizing your profile so that clients can see you as special and confident in your handling their projects.

My dear brother, I have followed all this but no one puts grass, what should I do?

Hey Suliman,
I'm relevantly new here. I just recovered my old Upwork profile and planning to use it in daily freelance activity. I can't give any pro advice, so, just adding my two cents. Initially, we should focus on the cover letters and suitable jobs we are bidding on. That'll help in getting the response from your client. I'm doing the same thing - hoping to get an answer soon.
I wish you all the best!

Hi Christian,
How do you go about finding and focusing on cover letters? Are you referring to prospective clients or your own? Also, do you have any advice on how I can begin to build a portfolio?

Strong? I don't know. But I think its easy to google proposal template on the internet. The main thing is that you should re-edit it and customize it to your present proposal and job you want to apply for. Interesting enough, you can find almost a lot of proposal for almost any topic on upwork.
