Is It Easy to Make Money on Freelance Sites?

I am earning well on Upwork. However, I have not been able to earn on Fiverr. Since I was earning well on Upwork, I decided to maximize my earnings by joining Fiverr. I created a couple of gigs but I could not sell any of my gigs. That's because Fiverr is a very competitive market, and a newbie will not easily succeed on Fiverr. Even on Upwork, it was never easy for me to make money. It took me 4 months to get the first job. In order to get the first job, I had to cut my rate by 50 percent. Not just Fiverr and Upwork, almost all freelance marketplaces are overly saturated.
