Ehh, I tried, you have to pay to submit bids to projects. The more bids you submit the more of a chance you’ll get a chance of the client reviewing your bid.

Also if you have no reviews, potential clients don’t really go for you because they don’t know if they can trust you. And you can’t even share your portfolio on there. Upwork allow for you to share your book because they want to keep everything on their platform. Esp conversations and / or moving to email conversations.

I did get advice from someone who’s does good on the platform. They had friends and family post fake projects so they could get experience and reviews on the platform.
