Hi
Although I'm not the author of this post, let me share my experience with you.
In order to convince your first client first, you should not price your project too expensive since it is your first project.
It depends on you, but what I do is sharing the progress every 3 days or so.
The way that is usually considered is by hours. But you can also price the whole project and tell your client that you will get this amount of money for the whole project and it is going to take 1 month to complete. So literally no specific per hour wage.
Well, I have no idea about this since I live in Iran and I mostly work with Iranian clients. Sorry. XD
Be honest with your actual experience (nothing is wrong with starting something new) but also show confidence about what you can do. Show the client how exactly you want to solve his problem. People will know if you're a beginner but willing to learn or just faking.
It depends on the client. I ask them at the beginning how they like it. Most of my clients just want their product to be ready, so I inform them occasionally when I implemented another milestone or how I'm on the agreed schedule. When working for large corporations as consultant, the just want the timesheet of my work together with my monthly invoice.
I almost exclusively charge clients per working hour. In my experience that is best/fair for both sides. I don't have to work unpaid and my client doesn't have to pay more than I worked for. Plus: The client always has the possibility to request additional features without repricing the whole project.
Actually I don't know such websites, sorry :) I got some projects because people found my profile on LinkedIn or Xing, but primaly I got clients because people knew and recommended me.

I have 4 questions on freelancing :
How do we convince our first freelancing client, when we don't have any projects or experience in freelancing before ?
How do you show work progress to clients, daily , weekkly or monthly ?
On What basis you charge the clients , per web pages or per hour ?
Any websites you know to search for genuine clients ? What if we don't get our money ?
Same question I want to ask.
