Freelance writing is one of the most popular niches on Upwork. As a writer, you can work on different kinds of writing projects and make money, for example, you can do content writing, SEO writing, blog writing, content rewriting, review writing, technical writing, ebook writing, etc.
However, one of the major issues people, especially those, who have recently joined the platform, complain that they are not getting any jobs, and thus are unable to make money. Here are some tips based on my experience.
Create a strong profile: You need to write an attractive bio, you need to share links to your website blogs, social media profiles, as well as showcase your works.
Take tests: Upwork encourages freelancers to take tests to prove that they can actually have the required qualification. Try to take tests and score better on your tests.
Built reputation: Before you start making money, you need to build a reputation on the site. Building a reputation means you have good reviews and ratings.
Reduce your bid rate: Who does not want to get paid better? You sure do want to receive $50 per article. However, if you are new, you will have to cut your rate to increase the chances of getting hired. You should always bid less than the budget set by the employer.
