This is a screen shot of my 1st ever online transaction (Their info is blacked out for privacy)

It was $100 USD which at the time was $128.48 CAD for me.

I found this client through Upwork, they needed a welcome video script written for their website.

Now I know sites like Upwork and Fiver have a bad rep for commoditizing writers but in the beginning, you need:

•Experience

•Testimonials

•To build a good reputation

And Upwork is great for all 3

Once you get them, the money will come later.
