| What Am I Missing When Freelancing On Upwork by aronski(m): 7:52pm On Apr 15, 2022 |
Hello everyone, am a web developer. I have been learning web development since 2016 and I have been good in what I have been learning since then.
Am able to code with HTML 5, CSS 3, Bootstrap 3 & 4, JavaScript, Jquery, PHP & MySQL.
This year, after the strike which brought most of us students back home I decided to go into freelancing and I choose Upwork.
I created a profile and got my account approved and verified, this was after paying for a course and undergo training (online) about freelancing.
But I don't really know whats wrong, I have write proposals to different clients and they never got accepted, am even out of connects and the fact things are happening like this am even doubting the fact that am a good web developer or thinking is because my location shows am Nigeria (who knows).
I will like to know if anyone has an advice that will help me on my freelancing journey or should I just forget about it and learn Python before school resumes (because freelancing ain't really working as planned for me). |

Its not saturated. I once searched for web developers on my location and saw that Nigerians who are web developers/programmers don't actually make much compared to other skills. Though there are big freelancers but not compared to others, and much who just made $400 below |
