As a freelancer, one of the first things you need to do is create a good profile. And part of creating a good profile is having a strong portfolio.
If you’re just starting out, you may not have much of a portfolio. That’s where connecting with clients on UpWork can help.
UpWork is a site that connects freelancers with clients who need work done. When you sign up, you create a profile and then bid on jobs that clients have posted. If the client likes your proposal, they will award you the job and you can get started.
One of the great things about UpWork is that it gives you the opportunity to build your portfolio. As you work on projects and complete them successfully, you’ll be able to add these projects to your portfolio. This will show potential clients that you have the skills and experience to do the job.
However, one downside of UpWork is that it takes a cut of your earnings. When you win a job, UpWork will take 20% of your earnings from that job.
So, if you’re working on a $100 project, UpWork will keep $20 of that. This can eat into your profits, so it’s something to keep in mind.
Do We Need to Buy Connects on UpWork?
No, we don’t need to buy connects on UpWork. However, if we want to build our portfolios quickly, it may be worth considering. With each project we complete, we can add it to our portfolios and showcase our skills and experience to potential clients.
