Can you give me some advice on where to start if I'm just getting into freelancing? I've been looking at different platforms, but I'm a bit overwhelmed葉hey all have their own quirks. I知 looking for a platform where I can actually land my first gigs, not just sit around waiting for a response. I知 especially interested in hearing from people who started from scratch: where should I go so I don稚 waste a ton of time?

I wouldn’t say there’s one “best” platform to start with—it all depends on your niche. But to put it simply, the key thing at the beginning is not to get stuck on just one site. For example, I tried several options at the same time—on some I responded more frequently, on others I just kept my profile active. It can take a while to get your first orders, and that’s normal. The key is to set up your profile properly and not expect instant results; that way, your chances are much better.

I actually found this by accident while watching a YouTube video about freelancing. Someone in the comments mentioned you could sell your freelance services with zero commission and I got curious. When I checked it out, what impressed me was how simple the setup looked. No complicated steps or confusing dashboards, just a straightforward way to present your work and get started without overthinking it.
