A Beginner’s Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls
Prioritize low-commission platforms
Avoid high upfront fees like Chengjubao (a commission-based service with low fees) or Fiverr (no membership fees).
Focus on communication and retaining proof of service
Confirm requirements through chat logs and deliver results in stages to build trust

Accept small orders initially to build positive reviews, then expand into higher-budget projects through platforms like Upwork.
