How to make money on UpWork with no experience
To earn money online through freelancing, Upwork is the platform that you should join. This article will tell you everything you need to know about Upwork and how to earn money on it.
First of all, let me give a definition of Upwork - It's an online job website where workers post their profiles, availabilities, experiences etcetera, and companies hire them for their work. I keep repeating this again and again because most people don't seem to get it by just reading the definition. So we shall start with this basic understanding of Upwork and then move forward in the following steps:
STEP 1:
Join UpWork (if not already).
You can visit www.upwork.com and sign up to become a freelancer. You need to have a PayPal account for this. Registration is free and easy, there's no need to submit your details in all the fields if you don't want to. Just enter your email address and an account will be created for you.
STEP 2:
Follow UpWork Guidelines
You can earn money on upwork only if you follow their guidelines correctly, so it's important that you know them before starting work on it. This site is huge with millions of users from around the world from all levels of expertise from beginners to experts, so make sure your profile meets their requirements or else it'll get rejected by the client who may find the reasons off placing, depending upon how experienced they are.

Here are some general guidelines:
- Your minimum hourly rate should be 150% of the minimum wage in the United States
- You must specify your hourly rate when bidding for projects
- You must turn ON chat, if not already (otherwise bidders' questions would go unanswered)
STEP 3:
Provide samples of your work
Providing samples is the first test you have to solve for earning money on Upwork. Well, it's not that difficult actually because most clients who hire freelancers are looking for quality work. I've seen people earn thousands of dollars just by providing a tiny sample of their writing or some other task they wanted to earn.
STEP 4:
Provide samples of your skills
The next important test is to earn money on Upwork by proving your skills. While providing the samples, make sure you're providing something that involves your skill. You don't have to worry because most clients will pay for proofreading their content or other basic things that aren't really hard or require experience. Here are some tasks that can earn you $1-5: Rewriting sentences Proofreading grammar Checking plagiarism Check punctuation And many more...
STEP 5: Ask good questions in forums/chat/groups and earn tips! It doesn't matter if you fail here but just asking questions will lead to higher chances of success. Just always remember to ask genuine questions and don't just shoot without thinking. It's better to earn $0 than earn $5-$10 by asking stupid and irrelevant questions.
STEP 6:
Create a website and earn money off it
If you think your work is good enough, then it's time to build your portfolio. You can do so by creating a blog where people can find you easily and hire you on Upwork through your profile since UpWork doesn't allow collecting emails directly from customers (unless they specifically mention that they want an email). You can earn money on Upwork only if you follow their guidelines correctly, so it's important that you know them before starting work on it. This site is huge with millions of users from around the world from all levels of expertise from beginners to experts, so make sure your profile meets their requirements or else it'll get rejected by the client who may find the reasons off placing, depending upon how experienced they are.
