Problem of market access for francophone African freelancers

1. Describe the problem:

I'm a French-speaking beginner from Cameroon and cannot start earning online. Global platforms like Upwork and Fiverr require fluent English and have overwhelming competition, while local African platforms have very few orders and low rates. There's no platform that helps non-English speakers from Africa enter the global freelance market.

2. How often does the problem occur?

This is a constant problem for me and thousands of other French-speaking Africans trying to start a career online.

3. What attempts have you made to solve the problem?

I've tried registering on international platforms but get lost due to the language barrier and lack of reviews. I also looked at local sites, but there are almost no worthwhile projects there.

4. How much are you willing to pay for the solution?

As a beginner, I can't pay upfront, but I'm ready to give 10-15% of my first income from the platform that actually helps me get my first orders.
