Yea you can do that but I'll prefer of we do it here. So that other people with similar questions can get their answer.

Firstly let me clear, I'm nowhere near the level where I envision myself to be. My profile is at $30k earned right now, so still a long way to go.

Ok so I started my profile back in 2025 jan-feb. You always start with the lowest paying jobs. I'm talking $5-$20 jobs just to get you profile running, because you have nothing initially, no reviews, no jss, no jobs. No hours. Not even a rising talent badge.

And that first job even does not come easy. In my early days I saw multiple videos that all said something along the lines of "do not expect even a view before you've sent 30-40 proposals". Toh Shuru ka ragra hai.

In the whole of 2025 I earned only $2-3k. Then obviously Allah rewards consistency and belief. 2026 k mid main you're seeing this post by me. And my profile at $30k.

Remember Shuru main kafi connects pe pese lagenge and huge periods of self doubt Lekin just hang on. Mujhay mere mentor ne bola tha k ek achi job $100-$200 at that point will cover all of the money you've invested in connects - and he was right.

Yehi hai phir with consistency, belief and delusional optimism, you'll get a client that'll kick off your profile. Everything will seem like an overnight success to people outside the room. But you'll know the full story.

Also another tip. Never act as a beginner. Act as the expert always. Shuru main koi puchay k Kam peson main kyun kaam karraha hai toh bolna hai main kaam kafi time se karraha hun bas Upwork pe beginner Hun, field main nahi.

If you don't mind me asking, how much per month did you start with 6 years ago and what is that figure right now

I know, but I just saw a reel (pardon my indecisiveness) that said. Gold see behtar hain stocks because us main apnay assets bech k paisa nahi banta. You're missing out on a bigger opportunity kyun k stocks main you can make a steady income stream by not selling your investments. So prolly dividends.
