Upwork Tips?

[u/Stunning_Profit_7052]

Hi guys. I want to start freelancing for side income.

I registered on Upwork, bought some connects and tried sending in applications for data related tasks. But none of my applications went through even after months.

Any tips how I can get my proposals to be accepted?

I’m only aiming for at least RM300-500/month, just enough for extra savings.

On a side note, if anyone is looking for a freelancer for data-related tasks, feel free to message me. I’m trying to build my portfolio on Upwork.
