I learnt video editting to a reasonable extent and I want to freelance with it

Please is it possible to open a fiverr or upwork account in 2022 as a Nigerian and be sure of making little changes
note: I have tried opening a US fiverr account months ago and i didnt make any sales at all. to get tangible impressions alone was almost impossible
I know a friend who opened an upwork account and didn't make sales what so ever

I wanted to know, are there truths to be told about getting into Fiverr or upwork in 2022
is it possible and if it is what are the things to know and steps to take
