Sometimes it can be difficult to get clients on Upwork, Freelancer etc
There are so many developers on these platforms and there& #39;s a high chance that your application gets lost in the noise.
Rather try applying on relatively new platforms.
It is easy to find your first task on new platforms like Codementor, PeoplePerHour, Fiverr, Guru etc as there are less freelancers on these platforms.

- Start small: Start with small tasks. Like fixing a bug, writing a script to do something trivial etc.
People get stuck with bugs all the time and they come on these platforms looking for help after getting frustrated for a long time.
- Ask for a review: Generally most platforms allows you to get reviews from clients after completing a task.
Always ask clients to leave a rating and feedback comments after the task is done.Most clients are happy to do it.
This will help you find more tasks in the future.

- Do not overcharge or undercharge: Sometimes you want to undercharge for a task because you just want to make whatever money possible. Don& #39;t do it!
This may be okay for the initial few tasks but don& #39;t do it after that.

Generally clients don& #39;t mind paying good money if the quality of work is good. (I& #39;ve charged around 300$ for a 2 hour task sometimes)
At the same time, do not overcharge clients too. Charge them the fair amount and deliver quality work and they will come back to you!

- If you& #39;re not confident about a task, take it anyway.
You can figure out the unknown parts along the way.
The worst that can happen is you& #39;ll not be able to complete it in which case can you can let the client know politely and refund if any money was paid already.

- Do not keep doing the same kind of tasks forever. You have to grow. Be it freelancing or in any aspect of life.
Once you get the confidence in completing smaller tasks, start taking bigger tasks like building websites for companies which can span b/w few weeks to months.
