About the oppurtunity

Signup for Upwork. Fill out the job type you’d like to do, the specific areas in which you’re skilled and your level of expertise. Use the search feature to submit work proposals for jobs in your area of expertise. Proposals should include an introductory letter, your desired fee and answers to questions the client included in the posting. You can also send examples of any work you think would be relevant. Upwork takes a cut of your earnings. The fee structure is a sliding scale based on the total amount you bill with a client over time, so the more you work with a client, the smaller the cut taken. You can expect Upwork to take. Upwork freelancers can get secured payments via PayPal, direct deposit or wire transfer.
