Dummy bidding in the community means we practice here before starting real bidding on Upwork. It helps you learn how to apply, what to write, and how to think—without any risk. This free community is designed especially for beginners who want to understand: - What freelancing is and how it can improve work–life balance - What Upwork is and how money is made there - How to choose the right niche - How to find leads and approach clients properly However, beginners need to slow down and be patient. This is a learning phase, not a shortcut. This community provides a step-by-step roadmap—what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. To access classroom videos and deeper training, you need to level up in the community. How to Level Up: Your level depends on your activity, such as: - Making daily journals - Watching shared videos - Sharing your notes and learnings - Commenting on others’ posts - Engaging positively in the community The more active and consistent you are, the faster you unlock learning resources that help you grow. Please remember: You cannot absorb everything in one day. Levels are created so you can learn, practice, and implement gradually. So don’t panic. Give yourself time. Stay consistent. If you follow the process, you will definitely get results. For those who already have experience, skills, and knowledge, the paid community is a better fit. I hope this helps beginners clearly understand how this community works and how they can benefit from it. @Amber Naz @Maria Ijaz @Komal Ramzan @Sameera Zakaullah

Assalam o Alaikum everyone, mera aik question hai aap sab logon se. Agar kisi ko pata ho to kindly reply karna, comment karna. Problem yeh hai ke main taqreeban aik mahine se school join kiya hua hai aur currently main Level 3 par hoon. Level 3 ke baad main ne Upwork ke basic concepts Haroon bhai ki videos se samajh liye hain. Aur ab jo baqi content hai, woh Level 5 par unlock hoga. Ab agar main daily post bhi karta hoon, to bhi jitne comments aur jitne likes aate hain, un likes ko dekh kar mujhe lagta hai ke taqreeban do mahine aur lag jayenge Level 5 unlock hone mein. To is time ke dauran mujhe feel hota hai ke mera time waste ho raha hai, jo ke main bilkul nahi chahta. Ab iska solution yeh hai ke main posting zyada kar doon, lekin posting zyada karne ke liye bhi mujhe zyada time chahiye. Ab masla yeh hai ke mere paas zyada time hota hi nahi, kyun ke mujhe aik jagah full-time job karni hoti hai, 9 hours ki. Phir ghar aata hoon, ghar aane ke baad thora bohat content consume karta hoon, thora rest karta hoon. Content consume karne se meri murad yeh hai ke YouTube par apni skill se relevant videos dekh leta hoon ya phir Haroon bhai ki kuch videos dekh leta hoon. Us ke baad agar work day general ke ilawa bhi koi post karni ho, to us ke liye content chahiye, us ko likhne ke liye time chahiye, bla bla bla. To agar main community ka paid version le loon, to kya mujhe woh saare courses khulay hue mil jayenge? Agar yes, to phir to theek hai. Aur agar no, to phir humein kya karna padega?
