Your first order will create your rating and review so it would be very important for you. Try to satisfy your client with whatever they want work from you. 

To create a good profile you have to find one keyword for your service. That keyword you can find through the search engine of your platform. For that, search on the search engine of the platform and the how the result is coming see them. Those services or gigs that have many results, you shouldn't go into that direction because in that keyword already many people are working on it so you have to choose the best keyword which should be unique. 

When you will find your keyword and after making the best profile you have to wait for your first client.  The initial stage of anything is so difficult so try to Grab the first client. Share your profile link on the group which is related to your skill. 

Suppose you create your gig of ebook creation so you have to share your profile link in the author's group. If you know already to some other so you can contact them to place your order to you.

You should not focus on earning money first your first focus should be on providing good service. If you will provide good service to them so they will give you a good rating and review. Rating and review is the most important thing of freelancing because it is the only thing because of which people will order you.  So as much as you can, you should try to satisfy your client so that they can give you good ratings and reviews.
