Answer 2

Make an online translation service (order for yourself). Advertise through google adwords and/or yandex direct + social networks. In parallel, register on freelance exchanges and advertise there, also collecting orders in parallel. Just on Upwork or its equivalent, you won’t even make a living with translations. Especially having only one language in the arsenal. And with the service, you can offer many areas of translation by distributing tasks to other translators.

Answer 3

From registration on the exchange. It seems to be obvious.
I also did my first project for a freelancer, who himself earns just by translating.
