Do completed orders in PHP spoil the reputation on upwork if I want to work with other technologies later?

Question

Ruby on Rails

I welcome everyone!
I want to complete some PHP orders on Upwork. I want to do it in order to check myself if I can freelance, complete at least some tasks and earn the first money on the freelance exchange. That is, it is a purely psychological moment. I saw that there are a lot of orders in PHP and I am ready to complete them at least $ 5 per hour or $ 20-30 if we are talking about fixed-price orders.
In the future, I plan to place orders for ASP.NET MVC/Ruby on Rails/Python. In this regard, the question is whether I will spoil my reputation by completing PHP orders for little money. Will it not happen that then customers will bypass me because I used to make PHP orders at low rates? Still, I would not want to create a new acc.

Answer 1

No, don't spoil it! From my own experience, I can say that the customer pays attention to the number of positions in the portfolio, the percentage of completion of projects and how much work has been done, and then the price is already. Many do not even go to the freelancer's profile, but simply follow the data from the popup window, which displays the freelancer's description, cost per hour, number of completed works and how many works in the portfolio!

Answer 2

You write as if PHP is some kind of bug after which they don’t take it to other languages.
