Is this only in USA
I guess Im randomly asking but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
Hey what program can use to practice html5 and CSs3 and how download visual studios
20% commission for every task picked-up. Plus lots of additional time to select a proper task, then apply and negotiate details. Finally, there is a risk that the client will not accept your work, will not pay etc. From the $50 per hour in you have maybe half of it taking into account the above business costs. However, lots of contractors offer much less than $50 per hour... This kind of platform may be profitable for someone working from 3rd world country. For Americans or Europeans, a part-time job in a grocery store seems to be a better option.
move to a 3rd country world paradise then.. improve your lifestyle :D hehehehe
I think the best advice (it was all good) was log in and look around, make sure you can do that job, do what the client is asking, protect your reputation, and in the end, its good for you, and the client! No one wants to waste their time and/or money. Great video! Thank you!
Great tips man! Thank you for the help. I'm just getting started with freelance and I think this video will help me avoid some early pitfalls. Appreciate it!

Thank you Very good! Love this!
Hi sir....
Ur videos are so nice and information. But I have a dought
We can do web development projects in (up work, freelancing )using WordPress or code(html,CSS,js) which is the good choice ...could u pls help me sir....
I'm in help desk, I laugh on the inside when our customers tell me on site when I'm fixing to go back to the office "oh this won't take long."
This is a nice presentation. i have been in Upwork for 6 months but have never gotten a job. how can you help me? mostly i need a data entry job
What is important skill for web developer to get job at Upwork
Man nice content. I was looking into getting my feet wet on platforms like upwork ... after having tested my knowledge with building a few things first.
Thinking about grabbing any kind of small gig related to HTML CSS JS to get famiiar with the process & then later going deeper with creating whole projects.
Im really want to build more application types of websites in the long run... though I dont mind / looking forward to starting with just html css or anything I can find ;).
I think it is absolutey great that your share this information here ... it is the kind of information , that probably any beginner is wondering how to make the leap into freelancing. Very valuable , subscribed
I have question since you have experience on upwork.
Do you consider freelance development outside of Worpdress less viable ?
I mean I plan to have very solid skills in html css js , but I'm not sure ifI want to pursue WordPress.
I was thinking of more going towards creating web app kind of websites, which can make use of react.
Then again I question if that kind of approach would be less viable in terms of freelancing.
I know wordpress is a legit & fruitful path ... Also creating plugins might be fun too ...What about react though ? what would that look like?
Im assuming that even though react is quite popular , the fact that there isnt a plugin exosystem like worpress can make the whole development process way more time consuming / less productive... Which I wouldnt mind , if it pays well :D & more alligns with my interest.
Im not just chasing shiny toys ... I think being a react developer + react native is smth that I would prefer. Or rather I like the idea ... Idk ... In the end the most important thing for me is to get started without fail ;) ... l
Would love to hear your thoughts on that.
Wheter I go with wordpress or react ... or maybe both is smth I struggle with atm :D ... in terms of what to start with. You know after watching this video I might just look for anything html css js related in the near future. If there opportnities that I can solve in a few hours .. that would be perfect to get my feet wet.
@@MedyGames You should, especially for those first few 5 star reviews. Get those easy jobs in the bag, and then start to specialize.
@@MedyGames Aside from WordPress, React would be an excellent pursuit on Upwork. There are far, far many more React jobs than Vue, Django, and even Angular. If you want to go the React route, it is for sure in high demand and you will find endless work on Upwork. As for WordPress, it's always work out there for that too. It's really your preference between the two.
Any tips on actually submitting the proposal?
appreciated, thanks
Really a huge informative Video.

Greetings Tom saw ur video and really loved it, would love to find out something from you as regards Upwork. If I intend to send a file on Upwork and I connected to a jquery file to manipulate the page do I need to send the J Query file. First and then the other files later or how do I do it?
I love this video travis I'm VERY curious currently right now I'm a web designer working with html/css on building landing pages is there pretty heavy work from employers for that kind of work and would it be better building something from scratch for projects or using wordpress to build them a plugin site?. I'm curious about this question because I saw on wordpress that you need to pay $25 monthly or $300 for a year to get going on getting really good plugins for sites and right now I would prefer building a site from scratch but what do you think would be more effective for great work and more clients?.
KidBrave You may be thinking of Wordpress.com which is their paid platform. Check out Wordpress.org which is the open source, free, best Wordpress. So a scratch build is always a good pursuit. Get one of those up first. Then you should research what your target employers are using and then learn that and create that as your next project. Let me know if that helps.
@@TravisMedia First off thank you very much for replying back to me travis media most developers on UA-cam just heart your message and move on so I greatly appreciate the reply. I have looked over your message and understood everything you where saying sense then I have done some research and found out I would like to pursue wordpress development but I have few questions. Do I need to know how to code in php to create will designed websites for clients on upwork?. Also if not what would you say are the most popular and high paying plugins for wordpress that employers are looking for period?. And something I can do with no prior knowledge of php?.
@@kidbrave_7673 For WordPress development, you would need to have a basic understanding of PHP as well as WordPress-specific concepts like the Template Hierarchy. PHP is fairly easy to learn. However, there are many WordPress design jobs on Upwork that do not require development, but largely design (PSD) or things like CSS tweaks. But PHP is a large part of WordPress in regards to development. So you could look for just design specific (PSD or landing page design) or CSS specific WordPress jobs and apply for those, but having PHP and an understanding of how WordPress works under your belt would open up many more doors. All that being said, you could look into the Elementor Pro plugin which is not only a page builder but a theme builder that allows you to build entire themes without knowledge of PHP. It's very popular and handles most of the technical work for you.
@@TravisMedia Good Morning Travis,
Thank you for giving me the full blown understanding of wordpress and building sites from wordpress using PHP I do plan to learn PHP as I work on freelancing jobs off upwork but currently right now I'm trying to dive completely into wordpress designing and learning PHP as I continue to build my client base up. That is reassuring to know I can find work without knowing PHP I greatly appreciate you letting me know that!. I apologize but what is PSD I dont think I know what that stands for or means?. 😅 And do you have any suggestions who to learn or listen to on learning elementor as a plugin for wordpress on building a template site from scratch?.
I want to start learning HTML and CSS . Do have any idea about certain source of information about this?
very helpful video sir..............!

Thanking you.
I want to share great opportunity of being the early member of decentralized platform with rewards and achieving the access to it.
Man I just told one off. You make preparations to start working with someone and they are not keeping up to their bargain! I just want to give up! I just starting out as a VA and it just seems like it makes no sense
thanks a lot
Sir how to gig on upwork. ... Web designer. ...developer ?
Is Html, Css, JavaScript, PHP = WORDPRESS?
Yes 👍
Interesting that everything you clicked on was US based contractors only.
Was that a part of the search, or does it reflect the market I wonder?
Being in the US I think it’s just what I had default
If someone says "It takes 5 minutes.", I'll reply: "You do it,"
very helpful
How do you handle the invoices for clients off of upwork?
I used Pluto as I had a lifetime license. Wave App is a free alternative. Harvest and Zoho are cheap and popular also.
Thankk youu
Awesome Travis
Hi Travis, just a question, can you do this job without a degree, and can you tell me how much chance do I have to get hired with this skill without a degree? thank you in advance and more power
software development is purely a skill based industry. Just like we don't ask tailors for their degrees.
Just be good at the language you pick and you will make a living with no one caring about your degree.
I have been a software developer for 7 years working on enterprise software, and I am watching to learn how to do more for myself beyond the 9-5. Guess what I studied History in my university days, yet i have worked in banks, etc.
LMFAO, @17:27 .... "Please no grammatical errirs"... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂... That is way too funny.
RILLA Ha, I never noticed that. Too funny
@@TravisMedia lol I saw it and I cackled.
Want to be more productive on youtube viewing experience? find out about decentralized platform with rewards!
If upwork is success for u, Why do you go to 9 - 5 job?
In short, in 2020, a remote dev job is almost the same thing as freelancing but with more overall benefits. Suits me better for now.
You remind me of Mr Robot
ankit kunturwar I had to look that up, ha. Looks like a good show.
@@TravisMedia thanks for replying, and yeah, a must watch show, for all tech enthusiasts...keep inspiring....
Is this the Walmart Traversy Media
😂😂😂
As someone who has just taken a plunge into DoorDash and Instacart just to escape retail, getting $200 sounds like a lot, just saying.
I was wondering Travis, im planning to learn React NodeJS and go MERN stack. I also wanna learn React Native, Python, Django(React and Native applications made with either nodejs or django, but i do wanna add django to my skillset since i do wanna have python under my belt). Now I am gonna build a website portfolio showing off these projects i made etc. But I was wondering what do you think of me perhaps freelancing fulltime next summer holidays. I was planning on charging about 45h hourly. Btw I am a high school student.
Can you please hire me as a customer service representative?
People hate their boss ,people hate upwork,people hate everything. They are still going to use it tho.
nice
Hey Travis, I want an video app to be made like mx player and dry bar comedy app with shopping page included in the app for the related videos items....... Suggest me some developers and the estimate cost of the app development
You are great guy, but I feel like you're gonna get a lot of hate for calling your channel "travis media". It sounds so similar to "traversy media". People might think you're ripping him off.
Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, I've gotten quite a bit of pushback from it. I've learned a ton from Brad, but at the time when I started the travis.media blog and well after that, I had never heard of him. Travis is my name. I create Media. That is as far as I got when I grabbed the domain and started creating content. I'll be putting together a video soon that I can point people to when the question comes up again (and it will!).
he's make 3600$ in 3 days i think i need to listen you
For beginners ?
“If you see 50+ proposals move on, you don’t stand a chance” All of the job listings I see have that many proposals. Upwork is fucked
What do you do?
nice
