Where to start with Freelancing?

[LuciferHere]

Hello guys, I am intermediate developer in Java and know PHP as well, can easily create web applications and stuff. I am trying to get into freelancing but I just don't know where to start and how to get into the industry. Can anybody guide me on that? I mean where to start and how to start getting jobs?

I would create accounts on as many sites as possible and promote on social media etc
Also start a website promoting your skills, and create a LinkedIn profile.

I never got success on PPH, any advice on it?

I forget upwork, it's a warzone.

Sing up to different freelance sites & work on your portfolio.
Work on your profile rating and reviews too: I'd recommend you to lower your rates at the beginning to get the first projects (and reviews). It will get easier afterwards.

Bottom feed if you want to get started sooner and build a live portfolio. Find some initial assignments you are willing to do for less than what you should otherwise demand, but make sure you get positive testimonials out of it.
