Upwork Newbie 2023

build a portfolio for your work
 
I am interested to follow this topic.

What I found is to get first review. And after that the work will be easier
 
I used to use the site a lot about 8 years ago. I was there when it was still oDesk and went through the merger with whatever other company they merged with. For a while it was good, though. It was easy to find work and apply, then get jobs. Nowadays, it's a ton of scammers for jobs. They're literally posting fake jobs just to phish people for information, steal their biometrics (even photo/voice samples to spoof), trick them into buying stuff "for reimbursement after reviews," etc.

Now there are still a lot of real jobs on there. I have worked for quite a few different people and was paid hourly and fairly. I did recently go and revamp my profile, beef up my portfolio, etc., but still haven't landed a single job yet, when I used to be able to find any number of jobs every week back in 2015 or so.
 
Hi guys happy weekend !

are there better alternatives as Upwork to find premium copywriter clients and to get easy accepted as freelancer?
Upwork when I understood that right, you must pay for bids to get a job and they reject many many freelancers every day who are try to get accepted.

There are websites where you can submit articles they paying you between $100-500 for one article, what is your experience with these websites?
Do they paying you when they accept the article or do they paying after publishing ? Do they have an limit every week, means accept only 2 articles every week to avoid loose money?

Is it sound like russian roulette- one article gets paid, another not, one article you get $100, another you get $500 but you not know why this happens?
Clear contract rules is a must, do they telling you in advance what they will paying you before they accept your article?

Or are they criminal scammers, means, they accept your article,publish it- thereafter they claim it as their original google sees it as the same and you get nothing?

Happy weekend!
