Find a $5000 job and get the first payment in advancement. Work extra hours for $2000.
I gave you a solution. Now you told me you've spent 100s of hours on watching videos.
Time to take action and prove your worth in the world of the econmony.
Unless you took a payday loan. Then sorry, I can't help you.
There are no clients that will pay $500 for quality edits these days unless you're an authority or have big social presence or a ton of reviews. people used to pay those amounts in the past but with the rise of Fiverr/Upwork, there are ALWAYS guys often "from India & Philippines" willing to take less than half the amount and deliver great quality. where they live, they can afford it.
I'm talking from experience as I've been in the freelancing world for 2 years, if this was a viable option I wouldn't be posting here.
You are living in a bubble. Sort of. You think Indian people are your competition.
No, dude. You made that competition up in your head.
If you don't get rid of this crap, you will think your English skills and origin don't matter.
Then you will let someone deliver something under the norm.
If you decide to keep on doing it, you will eventually fuck the industry you are working in.
Hindi people are for the most part not professional and they rarely have high quality setup with smartphones and microphones.
I have worked with some of them. They don't know what quality means. Neither you seem to know.
Your journey probably has ended on reading a couple of BHW threads and signing up to UpWork.
Mate, this is not real business. This is beginner freelancing work anyone without professional skillset can do.
Even with UpWork you could make a decent amount of cash if you were smart about the industry you provide services for.
In my experience programming, WordPress development, content writing were some of the skills I could acquire only with perserverance and time.
Take into the account you may be suffering from unknown mental conditions.
I am not a doctor, but this is my honest personal advice.
Don't self diagnose either.
Your anxiety, social issues or whatever you have can stop you from getting up from your bed. Or thinking long term in this case.
Already made an appointment? Alright.
Hopefully your debt isn't one that will cost you 10x of what you have lended.
Just get a job for 3 months and do it.
Otherwise it can end up badly. Sitting in court because you did something wouldn't be worth it.
There is no urgency in paying your debts like debt collectors claim.
If you can, ask whoever you borrowed the money from, to spread it into smaller, regular installments.
If you can't pay it and someone is threatening you, just leave the city of your residence.
You are an adult and you must work for other people sometimes.
Otherwise you will cheat, steal and become a piece of a tatter.
Job interviews aren't really difficult.
You just need to be kind and behave like a human.
Tell them you are some sort of a webmaster and social media manager.
You have a mixed set of skills which can be very useful in communication.
Explain to them whatever you've done in your journey.
Prepare yourself for 100s of questions. It's like an exam, but more interesting.
They will believe and let you work in their team.
Even remotely in a different country if you are living in a small city.
Just keep initial conversations quality high and behave professionally.
