Earning Your First Dollar On Upwork

The global freelance market is poised to break $450 billion next year. There are nearly sixty million freelancers in the U.S. alone.

But it isn't all that surprising that you have never heard of freelance writing before, or if you have, you aren't sure what it is.

You don't even need real-world experience or formal training in a market or discipline to become an expert in it.

1. They need a subject matter expert or technical authority on a specific topic.
2. There's too much work to go around for the staff.
