How do I get my first UpWork client?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 9:41 pm

There are a few ways to get your first UpWork client.

First, you can search for opportunities on UpWork. This will give you a list of jobs that are currently available.

PRO TIP: Workers on Upwork are independent contractors, not employees of Upwork. This means that, unlike traditional employees, they’re responsible for paying their own taxes and complying with other regulations.

Before you start working on Upwork, be sure to research the requirements for independent contractors in your area. You may need to obtain a business license or register as a self-employed individual with your government.

Not all countries have the same regulations for independent contractors. In some countries, you may need to get a work permit before you can start working on Upwork. Check with your local government to find out what you need to do to comply with the law.

Second, you can use the “connect with clients” feature on UpWork. This will allow you to connect with potential clients who are looking for services similar to the ones you offer.

Finally, you can reach out to businesses that you know are looking for a new contractor or freelancer. If you have a strong network of clients and friends, you can easily find opportunities on UpWork that match your skills and preferences.
