Was thinking to venture into freelancing through Upwork and Fiverr. How to get started when you don't have much skills and portfolio to sell yourself? Trying to see if this is a feasible alternate income source

In order to get started with freelancing, you need to list down skills that you are good at. Take a piece of paper and pen, and sit down for 15 minutes and just ask yourself; what am I good at?
It could be things like writing, coding, drawing/designing etc...
You need to identify what is your strong suit, and work from there.
For example, I am good at creative writing as well as video games. So, I freelance as a copywriter on Fiverr, and I teach people how to play/get better at League of Legends in my free time.
Bottom line is, in order to freelance, you need to have a unique skillset. Without that, you would be better off trading your physical labour for cash the traditional way (part time work).
