sentences to stand out. DO NOT COPY. Do not copy other freelancers
description but write it by yourself describing your services and making an
eye-catching description.

Section 3: Believe in Yourself and Focus on the Client

"Freelancing is a journey, and self-belief is your fuel. Remember:

6. Believe in Yourself: Confidence is key. Know your worth and let it reflect in
your profile and interactions. I has a luck and It took me just one month and
10 days to get my first job on Upwork. I submitted more than 2 or 3 proposals
every day but they do not hire me even they don’t saw my proposal. After 20
days I joined Upwork I got the first response and we discussed the project
further but they do not hire me. I was just spending my time a lot of money on
connects,learning courses,investments and others but I don’t gave up. So
believe in yourself because after all of this dark night will come the light.
7. Focus on the Client: Tailor your profile to show how you can solve your
client's problems. It's not about you; it's about what you can do for them."Just
focus what the client will get from you and how your job will affect to them.
 Section 4: Hourly Rate, Creating a Good Portfolio, and Writing Cover
Letters

"Now, let's dive into the nitty-gritty of pricing, showcasing your work, and
landing gigs:

8. Hourly Rate: Research and set a competitive hourly rate. Consider your skills,
experience, and the market standard and do not set a low hourly rate, so value
yourself.
9. Portfolio Mastery: Your portfolio is your visual resume. Show your best work,
diverse skills, and the evolution of your craft. Make eye catching portfolio and
showacase you best work. Get inspiration from other freelancers but do not
copy them.
10.Crafting Cover Letters: Don't shoot generic cover letters into the void. Tailor
each one to the specific job, addressing the client's needs and showcasing
your passion."Tell what you will offer to the client, focus in client needs and be
friendly.
11.How to find the client name: To find the client name is the easiest way to
stand out.You simply should go accros the client recents history and on his
reviews you can find his name.

before the contract start make sure that the client is friendly has a great
communication and value your work and time spent. I know that as a beginner
you accept all the offers and are ready to do the job immediately but not
always accept offers If it looks like a bad client.I suggest you to join a 10
 minute zoom call with the client and discus the project further before the work
start.

started. Seek inspiration from successful freelancers, and let their journeys fuel
