There’s one mistake almost every new freelancer makes — and you can easily avoid it.Do NOT create a freelance profile before learning your actual skill. What this means is simple:If you want to start freelancing in video editing, first learn the skill properly. Don’t rush to make a Fiverr or Upwork profile. It may look like a small thing, but it completely shifts your focus toward “selling” instead of actually “learning.” And learning should always be your first priority.
I’ve personally seen this happen many times. My own friends spent 1–2 years looking for Fiverr tricks and shortcuts just to get orders. But when I gave them a real client project, they couldn’t complete it — because they never invested time in learning the skill itself.
Don’t waste your time trying to sell a service you haven’t mastered.
Learn the skill deeply → practice → build confidence → then sell. This is the real process of becoming successful in freelancing.
