@@ya.sohan1 There are no restrictions, but be sure to check requirements for each job. Some clients have location requirements.

Glad to meet your channel Josh! Thank you so much, this is gold, really. I've spent my life for months just to learned HTML, JS, and CSS. This is really what I need!

Thank you so much for this! I just learned yesterday about making money doing voiceovers, and I’m super excited to get into it!! It’s the first career in years I’ve felt excited about

[@JoshBurnsTech]

You're welcome, Alexis! I'm super happy to hear that and hope that you have a lot of success. I would recommend using a portfolio website, Upwork, Fiverr, and other platforms. They are all great ways to generate leads.

[@dusan9429]

Awesome video Josh, but can you give me more details on how to create a good video if we don't have any clients yet? I would really appreciate your answer!

[@JoshBurnsTech]

Great question! You need to really focus on building a high quality portfolio that showcases examples of your work. That will be the key to winning jobs when you don't have any experience. Clients want to see examples of your work.

Thank you for the turtorial 🎉 just wandering will you recommend to make personal profiles by Wordpress what is the difference from this.

[@JoshBurnsTech]

You're very welcome! Good question...The difference is that the Hostinger website builder is a "no code" tool. You can use the same portfolio template to create a Wordpress website in Hostinger. There's also an option to "convert to Wordpress" after building a website with the website builder tool.

[@LenieBiasura16H]

Hi Josh, Thank you for sharing all this.. If I may ask, could you link us your video on how to create a portfolio for a total newbies without any background or experience or job related to the niche we want to offer. For example, video editing, I dont have any experience yet working with clients and no related job experience as well. I also don't know how to start with my resume and cover letter. Thank you so much in advance. ❤

[@JoshBurnsTech]

Hey! I don’t have a video for that topic. However, for video editing you just need to be able to showcase your abilities. You can film and edit your own videos OR find poorly edited videos on KZbin and improve them. There’s a lot of ways that you can be creative when developing a portfolio.

[@LenieBiasura16H]

thank you so much@@JoshBurnsTech

[@aduliredwan8585]

I am from ethiopia i have try to get a portfolio but i didn't get a portfolio for upwork

[@followchris_]

I'm fairly new to UpWork and have only recently landed my first job, but I have a question about the contact form. ( Sorry if it was said in the video) Doesn't the contact form in the video violate UpWork's terms and conditions because I'm offering contact options outside of the site? Wouldn't I have to link to my portfolio there Just asking because I don't want to make a mistake.

[@JoshBurnsTech]

Yes, it would violate Upwork TOS if you link your portfolio website on your Upwork profile or proposals and it includes a contact form.

[@ejikembaekwe1604]

Thank you so much for taking your time in creating such a wonderful content. But please I have a question, in one of your video, you drop a notion link to Upwork terms of service - common violation There you mentioned that we can link our portfolio website to our Upwork profile but it's shouldn't contact any contact details (social media links, contact me form e.t.c) But they are all included in your web portfolio.

[@JoshBurnsTech]

You're welcome! I'm not using this portfolio on my Upwork profile. If I were, then I would make sure that it didn't include contact details.

[@Shailplays]

This is so amazing. Thank you so much for helping me out ❤

[@JoshBurnsTech]

You're very welcome! :)

[@365daysOfBibleStudy]

Hi Josh, I have a question. Will sharing my portfolio website on Upwork that has my contact details not cause an issue with Upwork and their T's&C's. Thank you for your time!

[@JoshBurnsTech]

I would avoid sharing anything that has contact details.

[@AkechiHippomaru]

Right in time Josh, Upwork has been LOL for a long time 🤣🤣

[@JoshBurnsTech]

When I first started freelancing, I used Upwork, Freelancer, and personal clients to build my clientele. The great thing about personal clients is that you own the relationship. Hope this video helps you! :)

[@AkechiHippomaru]

@@JoshBurnsTech 😂😂just found out you are top rated plus now, we have been on the same search page, actually I followed your foot steps on Upwork, but it's not my main income anymore, it's sad to see Upwork end up like this.

[@JoshBurnsTech]

@@AkechiHippomaru I'm actually expert-vetted, but you can only see that as an Enterprise client. LOL Diversifying your income is always the way to go. I make $$$ from Upwork, personal clients, KZbin, etc.

[@AkechiHippomaru]

@@JoshBurnsTech you have been expert vetted for years, but it shows top rate + 20 mins ago when I last checked, maybe Upwork changed some setting

[@JoshBurnsTech]

@@AkechiHippomaru I've been expert-vetted for around 1.5 years or so. It won't show the badge on your end. It's only visible in my personal view and for enterprise clients.

[@ya.sohan1]

Hey Mr Josh, I would like to know if I work in only 'backend' part of web development, is there enough opportunities on upwork to work full time as a freelancer?

[@JoshBurnsTech]

Hey! The best thing that you can do is research earning potential on Upwork. Change the search bar drop down to "Talent" and then use advanced search to find backend web developers. Here are a couple that I found: www.upwork.com/freelancers/~01db8c1547c859e2c4 www.upwork.com/freelancers/~01a270a18fdfd3d237 www.upwork.com/freelancers/~01f1b00cb131c6fdc4
