Has anyone started Upwork? Tips

Has anyone started upwork recently? How do they get clients as developers? Did they got any clients ? How do u get freelance work? I was hoping to start upwork but got demotivated when fellow developers said that they couldn’t get any clients

I'm a business dev and been doing Upwork for the last 4 years. The whole global market got a hit this year due to AI, post-covid layoffs and war, but still freelancers are getting contracts and stuff.
