Read Creating a Gig and Gig packages first: title, tags, images and category rules
Before moving on: A live storefront: a 100 percent complete Upwork profile with three portfolio items, verified ID and a withdrawal method; or a published Fiverr Gig with three clear packages, real gallery images and a payout method; or a client-facing LinkedIn profile with a Service Page, a service page on your site and a booking link.
Set up one storefront properly rather than three halfway. Read the platform's own help centre, not a two-year-old video: Upwork and Fiverr changed fees, profiles and levels in 2025 and 2026, and old advice will cost you money.
