@jacob_hill Why Fiverr and Upwork? Why not create an offer for a niche and go after it?
@yctheman some time ago i decided to create accounts on these to get extra work, but its not working until i get some orders. do you know other platforms where i can earn clients.
@jacob_hill Yes, start creating content on Linkedin and Twitter (or wherever your desired niche hangs out). Slide in the DMs with an offer to help and see if those conversations go somewhere. Remember: No direct pitching or hope for a transaction... just pure value.
If you're cash-strapped though, I would also recommend trying cold emails with a specific offer to a specific niche and see if that serves you.
@jacob_hill You may choose to use https://lunchclub.com They arrange video meetings with individuals.

i am a ui ux designer and know about graphic designing
I am trying to update my gigs every week, but not getting first order, i think getting first order is much difficult, every client see reviews and past work which I dont have right now, when i will get some reviews it will boost my visibility on fiverr.
i am still struggle as a freelancer and i am also a web designer and i enjoying all work
My current struggles as a freelancer are that it is tough to find clients. Especially nowadays because of the pandemic. Many new freelancers are willing to take smaller payouts to kick-start their new careers.
Defining a pricing policy. "As your demand increase you shoul increase you pricing" one of my economist friend said but I dont know how much and in which criterias?
