A few things you should keep in mind before getting started.

1. Double check and confirm that you've logged in as a service provider (aka a freelancer).

2. Check if your profile is fully optimized or not—if you've added an updated portfolio, etc.

3. Make sure you've updated your KYB details—correct bank details, phone number, etc.
