Unfortunately without these platforms is really hard to get clients. You need to work on a portfolio, marketing, selling skills a lot.
I'd say if you want to make it a business for the long term go for it but be ready for hard work.
If you just want to earn some money on a side or even longer use the platforms.
PS I used Upwork for 2 years and eventually find my current job there and moved to the direct contract.
Thanks for the input, Dmitrii. I don't want to run a business as I don't want to spend a lot of time on that. I just want to do Freelancing as single or maybe with a team. But, I also think it will be hard to get clients without these platforms 😞 This is bit annoying.
