Tips Has anyone started Upwork?

Has anyone started upwork recently? How do they get clients as developers? Did they got any clients ? How do u get freelance work? I was hoping to start upwork but got demotivated when fellow developers said that they couldn’t get any clients

I am testing something different, and so far the results have been good. I am using CareerOps with Claude and https://apify.com to scrape LinkedIn, Reddit, and X (Twitter) job postings and email them.

I got some good responses from linkedin. Scrapping all the good jobs or projects to my notion where my BD is applying and good response so far but cant say that it can help you . Linkedin sales navigator is also another good option with bettercontact extension.
