Got My First Gig On Upwork by davidupdate89: 1:41pm On Apr 04, 2022
Registered last week.

It's a start to something though.

I'll like someone to give me further tips.

Is verification compulsory at this point, or until I am able to get $1000

Haven't written a gig for sale yet, just applying and making proposals.

I don't know what SEO skills are worth in the freelance market. Just looking at different budget to make a decision.

Nope, it isn't.

The key is repetition

YouTube YouTube YouTube.

There's free information in the internet my friend.

I suggest you start with that.

I never purchased any video editing course.

Except you are going into video animation, then you'll require courses to improve.

I don’t want to write any longer. It’s so low paying and too many writers/competitors and stressful. Prefer video editing

You are wrong though, there is no niche that does not have too much people into it.
Secondly copywriting is a developing writing niche , copywriters are not as common as other writers like business plan, article/friction writers.

Thirdly, what's your target market, when it comes to freelancing, Nigerians are not the best prospective clients to target (very few pay well), your target should be foreign clients and not just any foreign clients but High paying clients. If you learn video editing , who do you want to offer your services too ?

video editing still targeted to foreigners on upwork

Yes, however the key is how much you are paid per gig; on Upwork, some people earn as little as 500 dollars per gig and as much as 50 dollars per hour.

If you're getting paid peanuts, Upwork isn't for you; instead, try Fiverr. For the big fish, Upwork is the place to be.

Moreso, the goal isn't always to constantly seek out new clients.

The goal is to retain them and increase the prices you charge them whilst getting your clients results.
