Description
Ever thought about kickstarting your freelancing journey on Upwork as a copywriter, virtual assistant, graphic designer, project manager, website designer, developer, or in some other capacity, but don’t know how to get started? I understand because I’ve been in your shoes.
Rewind to 2012.
I found myself driving 90 minutes each way to a middle school in the heart of Baltimore where I was a teacher. The daily grind was tough, resources were scarce, and the system was muddled and ineffective. I was utterly burned out.
With a Master’s degree in hand and in the midst of my PhD journey, I realized I no longer wanted to teach. I was left with a daunting question: What’s next?
From a simple Google search, “How to become a freelance writer,” sprouted an incredible online business. I quit my teaching job, took another position, and embarked on a new journey.
In the following year, I:
Achieved a spot on Upwork’s homepage as a success story,
Worked with over 100 clients,
Secured my first $50,000 contract,
Surpassed my previous monthly income.
The freelancing journey transformed my life significantly. And now, I’m passionate about sharing the insights I’ve garnered from my freelancing experience to help others succeed on Upwork.
Imagine if YOU were making an additional $500/month on jobs won on Upwork. Paying down your debt, covering your bills, saving for a vacation, or even contemplating leaving your full-time job, just like I did, wouldn’t seem like a far-fetched dream.
Launching your freelancing journey on Upwork is the simplest way to get your foot in the door. Since clients on Upwork are already sold on the need for a freelancer, it’s easier to secure contracts. However, I’ve noticed that new freelancers often feel overwhelmed with the process of getting started. They’re bidding on jobs but aren’t winning. Their questions often include:
Am I charging too much?
Is my lack of feedback on Upwork hurting me?
Am I bidding on the wrong jobs?
Does my profile attract business?
Does my pitch need improvement?
This is why I’ve compiled everything I’ve learned from 10 years working on Upwork into this comprehensive course.
Whether you’re a total newbie to Upwork, an established freelancer who hasn’t quite cracked the Upwork code, or someone who’s been bidding on Upwork but not securing any jobs, this course is tailor-made for you.
However, if you’re not ready to put in the work or already making six figures on Upwork, this course may not be the best fit.
So, if you’re ready to say goodbye to that soul-sucking job you hate and begin your freelancing journey on Upwork, now is the time. Let’s show you how you can quickly transition from zero to hero in freelancing.
