Woah! Big news to me!Chances are if you haven't made it on Upwork at this point, you probably won't get approved. Upwork is barely approving anyone who isn't from a "first-world" country. In fact, they're even rejecting people from the U.S. regularly now.
A better use of your time would be to look to one of the other up and coming platforms from the list I posted the other day in this thread:
NOTABLE! - Lex DeVille's BIG List of 100+ Freelance Websites by Skill Area 2019
An even better option would be to go to Facebook and join groups where people are likely to need your skills. When someone asks a question in those groups, respond with a helpful answer. Eventually people will get to know you and they'll start coming to you for more help or referring you when others need help. Then you can offer your services at whatever price you want.
Upwork isn't the only way to earn freelance clients. It isn't even the best way. It's just an easy way, which is why everyone tries to go there first.
Good thing I came in early!
I'm interested in AWAI, Reddit and Cult of Copy. Will try to investigate them when I have the time.
Also, I just did some free copy for a local author. She liked it so much that she invited me to a private event ( not open to public) where she mentioned that startups folks would be present.
Dunno whether its a potential pool for prospects. Easiest thing is to just listen to see if they need me and then hop in.
Also, see if your country has its OWN freelancing site.
In my country, it is Favser, but I prefer overseas clients- they are a more interesting bunch.
