@kobybateson3041.Personally I would say do get a mentor. Not sure where you will get a good one. But if your knowledge of the market is limited. It seems like a good bet.
I believe the secret is "Positioning" is to align your skills with clients and show that you are the least risky option by demonstrating your years of experience and your relevant expertise. To put it briefly, learn a skill that is in high demand, choose a niche, and improve your proficiency. Then, start freelancing at any freelancing sites and you will definitely get hired.

Freelancing is like building a bridge, one plank at a time. Each project is a step forward, and the view from the top is worth every challenge along the way.

Same here, I have lot skills but I never tried any Freelance online platform, even I've worked with hundreds of local clients. I usually think it's hard to get client on Fiverr or Upwork. Now I saw my friend. He is earning enough money. So it motivate me to try it hardly untill I get success on Upwork. Best of luck to you and also best of luck to me 😊

Hey Naailah, Thank you for such an amazing video. Watched it till the end without skipping and hit the like button. I also started my journey on Upwork in 2021 and have made $3K+ with a 100% JSS but for the last few months, getting work on Upwork has become way too difficult. I just lost my top-rated badge because my 1-year earnings dropped from a $1K figure. Lately, I've been spending more money on purchasing connects but hardly won 2-3 new projects in the last 7-8 months. Even the returning clients who showed interest in starting new projects have stopped responding all of a sudden even though I'm following up once or twice every month. I don't understand what the reason is and what should be my next strategy.
I loved your video and the editing is just top tier, you edit by yourself ?

Thank you so much Naailah, I myself started my journey back in 2021 and i just got my first 5 starts review just a month ago in exchange of me offering my service for $5 ( I know it's sooo cheap but since i don't have the advantage of the ability to to pay for contacts & the location advantage i had to come up with this strategy) What i want to say that all what you mentioned in your video is indeed all true and helped myself to get that first client so my brothers & sisters in Islam just trust Allah work hard it will all be rewarded.
