Ask How long does it usually take for a new freelance profile to get its first job?

[Edward22]

There is no fixed answer to this, and that is what makes it frustrating for new freelancers. Some people land their first job within days while others wait for months and still hear nothing. A lot depends on how competitive your skill set is, how well your profile is written, and how much effort you put into sending proposals. The platform also matters because some have more active clients than others. How long did it take you to get your first job, and what do you think made the difference?
