I copy off other freelancers all the time. I’m not talking about plagiarism of their work. I’m talking about how they select and narrow their skills.
When I started, I wasn’t sure what to offer, let alone how much to charge. So I went to other freelancers’ websites. I looked at their pages on Upwork (by using a client account), I references resources like

If it feels weird and it’s putting you off a little, I want you to rethink that.
Every business looks at competitors and what potential customers are willing to pay. All this is, is market research at the freelancer level.

P.S. It’s our job as Black freelancers to spread the word on the potential out there, so if this was helpful, pass it on!
