Sure Adam,
i started with upwork and fiverr , a while back around 1-2 years, initially i picked up projects and charged around a very minimal amount 5-10$ per hour since this was my side income
i started to then develop my skills around SEO writing, Wordpress Blog, Copywrite writing because these are the skills that will fetch you better offers on these websites .
i must have have taken around 40-50 basic content writing proposals on this very minimal rate and then 4-5 of these clients gave me better projects based on my earlier work.
Hourly rate of these projects were around 80$ and from 5-6 projects i made an substantial amount considering it as a side hustle
In all i have written 80-100 documents to make that amount and that 3000$ in march 2023 was my best month
