Hi all,
Welcome to the Upwork Community! We know landing that first contract can be challenging, so we built Upwork Academy and threads like this to help you get started. With a lot of resources and so little time, we wanted to put together some recommendations for you to check out first:

Good morning, folks.
I’ve created a PDF guide on how to succeed as a content writer (link below). It’s completely free and doesn’t have any affiliate links or other offers embedded into the content.
All I ask in return is a little feedback or constructive criticism from those who read it.
Thank you in advance,

Hi Everyone,
I'm new here just got verified yesterday and I have been applying to jobs since then but not even a single invite yet.
I cannot help but start thinking that maybe something is wrong with my profile or something is wrong somewhere.
I'm posting this to politely ask you to review my profile and suggest any way I could optimize it for a high chance of winning my first job. and also if there's any way I can write a better proposal or anything that could increase my chances.

Hello!
I am new to upwork, so didn't have projects and testimonials written via upwork.
But can I add testimonials from people that I have worked with before to my profile?
Is it ok per rules?

I am new here kindly inform me how to get work from client I really need of job

I found the best way is to set a goal each day to achieve when applying for a role. In addition, use the boot tool and quick engagement when a client reaches out to you. It's all about timing and numbers game.
