How do you guys get design projects? I've been freelancing for russian market for about a year and now I'm trying to start on western market. I am currently trying upwork, I keep applying for projects, but still didn't get any. Do you guys know any other place besides upwork?

Thanks, could you give me any advice on how build my social media presence? I mean I have facebook and twitter account, follow/friend people, who are related to design, post some stuff on my page, I also have a dribbble account, but it all seems to be useless.

Have professional social media, seperate from your personal.
Be consistent, do different renditions of one thing. Whether that be movie posters, logos, typography, etc. Pick one area and just do that. Go deep, open yourself up. Provide value. Either by posting your process of how you did your works, advice to other designers, or day in the life kinda stuff. You'll have to do this for a while across several different social media accounts before you start to gain some following.
Also don't post the same stuff on all your social media accounts. As in don't just post something on facebook that you already posted on your instagram. Give people a reason to follow all of them.
