Nice video, paul. Would love to see a video about your journey in freelancing and how you got your start.

[@PaulMendes]

Thanks for the idea! I'll have that coming soon. By the way check out the video where I break down how I made my first $10K freelancing on Upwork in the meantime because it shows my growth and progression.

Hi sir! I am also a fresher and really want my first client . I am video editor n a blog and content writer . I am eagerly waiting for my first client

[@joshdiditt]

I use to get alot of work on Upwork last month. This month, not so much. I have a question. As a milestone, should we ask for a Initial deposit? I usually ask for half up front and the other half when I give them the final approved video. I am thinking other freelancers are NOT asking for a deposit up front and the clients are choosing them instead.

[@PaulMendes]

Thanks for your comment, Josh. The truth is, it depends on a variety of factors. However, in my experience, it is common to take at least some sort of deposit before working on a project. But the more important part is getting on a phone call or video call with the client and build a real relationship with them first. Make sure you are able to focus on qualifying them and seeing if you both are a good fit to work with each other. If that's the case, they won't have an issue with a deposit. Remember, clients want their problems solved and this is a numbers game. Stay patient and persistent and you can get your lead volume back up to how it was.

[@PaulMendes]

Hi Waqar, don’t give up! Work on improving your profile. Do you have case studies? How many proposals have you sent out? What’s your skill?

[@deepkumar23229]

Very amazing video brother but I want to know how to get before we are out of connects for the month

[@PaulMendes]

Thank you! You have to really search for the best job that fits your skill and then send proposals out efficiently so you don't waste yours connects. You can also get the Upwork Pro account and get more connects through that

[@jessicabeca1234]

Appreciate the help I’m just concerned about the portfolio and reviews on my profile as a beginner. I want to work as a writer/translator/transcriber, would I get hired with no past work done on upwork? I have a little blog in which I write fitness food recipes, would that serve as a portfolio for blog or ebook writing jobs?

[@PaulMendes]

Everyone has to start somewhere. Think about it, every single freelancer on Upwork has gotten a project when they had no reviews on the platform. You can definitely use your past blog as a case study on your profile for past work experience. Then focus on landing your first blog or ebook writing job and getting a great review. It will start to give you momentum and then you can go from there.

@@PaulMendes i want to start freelancing in developing games and websites but always an idea comes to my mind is that People already have there place in the websites of freelancing and there's no place to me and no one will see my profile or buy a gig Even that I'll try What do u think?

[@PaulMendes]

@@wadi3pro877 I think it pays to follow your dreams in life. You can't let other people hold you back... there will always be competition out there but the sooner you start the better off you will be. There are lots of projects and high demand for website and game developers and that industry is only going to grow. So keep absorbing knowledge and watching videos like this one so you can put yourself in the best position to succeed and enjoy your life and career to the fullest.
