No Experience? Here’s 5 EASY Freelance Remote Jobs for Beginners! (Upwork & Fiverr)
Are you a beginner looking for freelance jobs but feel discouraged because you lack experience? Don’t worry, there are several opportunities available for individuals starting their freelancing journey. Thanks to online platforms like Upwork and Fiverr, you can find remote jobs that require little to no previous experience. Here are five freelance jobs that are perfect for beginners.
1. Content Writing
If you possess decent writing skills, content writing can be a great entry point into the freelancing world. Many businesses and individuals are constantly in need of engaging blog posts, articles, or website content. Starting with smaller projects can help you gain experience and build up your portfolio. Platforms like Upwork and Fiverr allow you to showcase your writing skills and bid on various content writing gigs.
2. Virtual Assistant
Being a virtual assistant is another excellent option for beginners. As a virtual assistant, you can assist clients with tasks such as managing their emails, scheduling appointments, research, or social media management. While some clients may prefer experienced virtual assistants, many are willing to give beginners a chance. Building a strong work ethic, being organized, and having good communication skills are essential qualities for this job.
3. Graphic Design
If you have a creative flair and some basic design skills, graphic design can be a lucrative freelance gig. Many businesses and individuals require eye-catching visuals for their websites, social media platforms, or marketing materials. With free design software like Canva and Adobe Spark, you can create stunning designs without prior experience. Starting with simple projects like creating logos, social media banners, or simple illustrations can help you build your graphic design portfolio.
4. Social Media Management
With the rise of social media, businesses are looking for individuals who can manage their online presence effectively. If you spend a significant amount of time on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, why not turn it into a freelance job? Start by managing the social media profiles of small businesses or individuals in your niche. This way, you can gain experience and learn the ins and outs of social media management.
5. Transcription
Transcription involves converting audio or video files into written content. While it may require good listening skills, accuracy, and attention to detail, it is an ideal job for beginners. Many companies are looking for transcriptionists to convert interviews, podcasts, or videos into text form. You can find transcription gigs on Upwork or Fiverr and gradually build your experience and reputation.
As a beginner in the freelance world, it’s important to start small, gain experience, and gradually build your portfolio. These five jobs are just a few examples of the many freelance opportunities available for beginners. Remember, while experience can be helpful, it is not always a prerequisite for success.

i havent been called out so bad at the start
Thanks ❤
thank you very much great video !
Even if this doesn’t work, you’ve gained a new sub just because of your energy!!
So the trick is to start small $ per/hr, show examples of work and get as many good review as possible. Then once you look like a pro, charge more?
I’m guessing it may take a few months to get a decent amount of reviews as the jobs will be far in between with not much reviews. So it’s a patients game, but if you stick with it, it will be worth it in the long run.
Also with repeat customers, it’s borderline passive income if your accomplished on the app.
I don’t mind spending $50 on a pack of connects. I would bid a lot of connects just to get a few jobs for reviews. Is it “the more connects you bid, the better chance you have at getting hired”?
I'm uploading intro video on YouTube but it's going in shorts??
Or how to upload intro video on upwork
Back to Upwork! This time I will make my first $1
Thanks for this video Josh! Very informative and exactly what I was looking for in a difficult time for me!!!
Hi! Thanks for your video!
If I don't have lots of experience or achievements, how would you suggest I make a successful cover letter? It seems ever job you apply for on upwork require one. I'm kinda stuck there. Don't want to mess it up before I send it
And as a seasoned writer on Upwork, it's VERY easy to stay busy if you're good at what you do.
Do you guys get upwork plus?
Yeah going back to the grind of my battle pass.
Kidding thank you I’m going to try content writing. I’ll keep you updated.
The truth is that this kind of easy jobs have tons of competitors. You won't be able to be picked unless you are lucky.
Can you please make more videos for beginners?
The intro got mee im in
Hello Josh, great videos thank you! I feel I have different things I can offer on upwork, from being a tutor for several subjects, to interpreting languages, to all these things you just mentioned here. So my question is, how can you create multiple or one profile for all these things you are able to offer, and will it sell? Or should I create several upwork accounts? Or what is your strategy for this, because a 'can do anything' person may not be as appealing for employers? Looking forward to your thoughts.
Amazing thank you so much for the help
Hi Josh,
I'm a beginner at upwork. The problem I'm facing is to buy connects.
While applying when I started I applied some jobs according to experience and then all my connects which were free were consumed
Now how to get free connects although I didn't get any response yet from anyone
Thank you very much for your information but I do got a question if you might have some suggestions. I am a photographer and I also do a lot of photo editing and I'm just curious if you might have any feedback on getting part-time work remotely doing photo editing here's a little sample of my video of what I can do and again if you have any suggestions that would be great.

"All they had to do is to take my youtube video and convert it into a blog post." LOL
Where do you go and get your money?
I’m afraid to try Freelance Jobs because I don’t think that I have the skill to manage freelancing but I’m in a bit of a pickle currently. I’ve been doing Graphics Design for over 3 years and I’d like to would like to work as one but I’m afraid that my work isn’t up to anyone’s expectations. Should I try freelance or should I try looking for a simple job?
Any tips for beginner's proposal

Hi Josh I am very new to this. I am from the Caribbean and I really want to start on one of these platform Part-Time. I would say that my skills are similar to a General VA/Administrative Assistant and I am also an Elementary School Teacher. Which Platform would be suitable for me ?
Hey man, your videos are an inspiration for me to stay freelancing in Upwork, but the thing is I'm struggling to get my first client from the last 10 months.
Hello Josh. I am a new freelancer on Upwork and I come from in Vietnam. I really thank you for your video. Very exciting!
How can a video editor from a high cost of living country compete against a video editor working for much less from the third world?
This video provides a great starter for people who want to get into freelancing on the main platforms. What tips do you have for rising the ranks and getting those top-rated reviews? In my experience, the customer service element is what is most lacking on these platforms, so any tips for viewers on how to improve this aspect of their work should help with their reviews.
I love your videos, I think it's valuable content, but I do not agree about the content writer part.
yeah yeah but getting into upwork `1st and getting your 1st client is the reaL CHALLENGE!!!!
btw most of this jobs in upwork also REQUIRED applicants to have some other skills like SEO,Wordpress etc
TAKE THIS VID WITH A GRAIN OF SALT
Finally.. thanks for the great content
