Choosing an exchange and a niche for freelancing. Upwork or alternatives?

Question

Freelance

Need a niche where you can start earning without spending years on training. There is free English and a desire to start earning as soon as possible. I am not an IT specialist and now there is no way to spend years to become one, so working with code is no longer necessary. Copywriting? virtual assistant? content manager? Tell me a niche where a quick entry and the subcontinent has not dumped everything.

My first thought was to go to Upwork, but to my disappointment I found out that there are now paid connections. It seems like new users are given 20 connections, but I had an account in the Odesk days. If you restore the acc (the password is forgotten), then there probably will not be free connections, but until I earn anything, I'm not ready to pay.
Are there any clear alternatives to Upwork with the same or higher pay and where you can find a job not for a highly qualified specialist, but for a proletarian of mental labor? It is desirable that you can work by creating a virtual identity and not be banned for it.

Answer 1

Teaching Chinese English. or Indians. Or who is now popular as a client there.
A bunch of people without education with native English ride around the world (ride) and provide themselves that way. So that's enough for a butter sandwich.
I don’t know where exactly, I’m not a teacher, but it’s definitely not an upwork. Find a couple of groups of digital nomads on Facebook, ask there, they will tell you. More than enough to get you started.
Well, in general, with free English with such questions, it is better to go to global resources.

Loader or janitor.
With free English, you can go to technical support. The same Filipinos and Indians are recruited there in batches just for their English. But it has to be really free. Those. at the level of talking on the phone with a shitty connection with a native English speaker without hesitation.

Answer 3

when I started and I had a lot of free time, I worked absolutely on all exchanges
