I've two questions if someone can assist i'll be greatfull.

Do we need to set our payment account details first with Upwork if still did'nt get Verified freelancer badge/mail yet?

Does this impact during bid for clients that thay only prefer Verified Freelancer instead of new like me?

I got Rising talent badge and many suggessions by especialist but still no job in 2 months.

I'm also facing the same problem. But i think you just to be focused on your work and attach your self with the community to get more tips. Keep checking the jobs keep applying on jobs. Make sure that your availability on upwork should be upto 7-8 hours per day. 

Best of luck

Just stick to your plan to become successful on upwork. You joined upwork on October 22. So just keep doing browsing for jobs and also complete the courses of upwork community i.e 101,102 and so on.

[ebb9f1d9]

What type of jobs are you looking for on upwork?

[96038153]

inbound calls or Email Writing for order takings or book services

Look I am unfamiliar about your job description. But little bit I come to know about that you have to search jobs that are related to website and blog writing. First you have to focus on your learning about the relevant skill

Thanks & regards

Hi Umer,

You don't need to set up your payment method first for you to start your career with Upwork. You can use your account as normal while waiting for the team to reach out and have you verify your account. This may affect your bid compared to verified talents but it always depends on the client's qualifications on how they hire freelancers.

Since you're fairly new to the platform, I think it's best for you to start with the basics. Below you'll find a few Upwork Academy courses to help you get started:

• How to create your profile
• Finding work
• Profile Title & Overview
• Building Your Portfolio
• Submitting Proposals

Additionally, feel free to sign up for upcoming events and webinars to learn more about how you can boost your success on Upwork. We wish you the best of luck!
