Hi all,

Welcome to the Upwork Community! We know landing that first contract can be challenging, so we built Upwork Academy and threads like this to help you get started. With a lot of resources and so little time, we wanted to put together some recommendations for you to check out first:

• New to Upwork: Finding Work
• Identifying and communicating your value
• Creating a proposal that wins work

Do you have a specific question or maybe a tip to offer? Reply to this post and share your question, advice, or words of inspiration!

How did you slip an A.I. reworked profile pic past upwork?

Seems like alot of buzz-word speak, with out a proven track record.

Your youtube channel comes across about like a crypto scam channel.

Just the way it all comes across. All sitting in the middle of the uncanny valley.
