It’s amazing how you’re just reading out my instincts as if I wrote a script and gave you. I am new to Upwork; I watched one of your video about proposals and I applied the method you shared. Amazingly, it landed me my first Job. 😊😊
One thing I experienced, If client send only one Invite to one specific freelancer then we should avoid the job because most probably the client has made up their mind to hire that freelancer.
The other thing that is helpful to do is please REPORT the scammers that you come across to Upwork. If you applied for a job that turned out to be a scam and you report them you will get your connects refunded to you. Certain countries are usually red flags for example India, Pakistan, Bangladesh. Personally, I think Upwork needs to have a better client screening process or at least make it cost prohibitive for them to be on the site.
I just found your channel and I am hooked; I keep watching one video after another and I just can't help but like each one I watch haha. amazing work, much appreciated ^^
Took a job for $80 for some SEO advice, at most editing some copy on the website. Had an hour call, gave a ton of advice. He said he would pay me for my work so far and was interested in having me redesign the website according to some advice on branding I provided. Made him a site over the next two weeks, then hes complaining about lack of progress and it turns out he wants to pay me $80 for the entire project. His rebuttal was that he paid $250 for his current site, which he needed redesigned! Such a headache and a lesson learned
In the early twenty-tens jobs were 500-30,000 on Upwork and Guru under programming. Now one out of a dozen are over 250 and mostly under 1k. It's all large scale stuff too(even the
Great advice! I’m wondering if you could do a video on the differences and pros and cons of social media marketing management and social media content management
Could you please make a video on what's your client onboarding process? And also, how do you bill your SMM clients on Upwork? Like do you take advance payment, weekly or full monthly?
Thomas, can you please make a video where you find the client, close the deal, sign the contract, get the payment, find the freelancer, you get the product, you deliver the product. Thanks, you helped me a lot, thank you brother.
Hello. Thank you for your interesting videos. Im currently on my nightshift at warehouse and im sick of it, its my current dream to just stay at home and make it my office and work. Ill check the upwork website when I arrive home. Is there any jobs I can provide without being super experienced or anything I can learn easily? For me I just know little bit about music production and video editing, but thats it. Have a nice day!❤
Hi, Thomas, thank you for your video. I received a response to a proposal after 3 weeks. Is this normal? I have withdrawn many proposals that have not been viewed for more than 3 weeks. Now I am a little hesitant about whether this is correct.
Hi Thomas, just have a quick question after watching the video. Should Upwork beginners, like me, focus on applying for jobs with good reviews and kind of ignore those that have zero reviews? Or are zero review jobs worth a try as well?
Hi there, Do you think *Motivating entry-level freelancer* is a good title to use? i have joined upwork a few days ago, id ont have any specific skills bit should i choose something I can do or is it all good for the beginning.
i think you should focus on building skills and also making money little to fund the upwork account to bid. Upwork is no longer the place to grow with zero budget or client referrals.
@@ThomasIm they are constantly changing rules. It makes it hard to keep and develop your business there. I have worked on Elance and Upwork for more than 15 years so I know what I am talking about. The better way is to find clients using other channels.
bro I have really bad experience with Upwork serious waste of time. Does this website really work or just time pass. can you send email I will explain what happened.

You are literally the best UA-camr ever because you get directly to the subject of the video without any intros.
100% this kid has the right stuff!
Cheap clients are red flags

Pls what video did you watch, can you share the link

Correct
The other thing that is helpful to do is please REPORT the scammers that you come across to Upwork.

Personally, I think Upwork needs to have a better client screening process or at least make it cost prohibitive for them to be on the site.
I usually do that before I spent connects on a job.
Skimming through the feedback on the client's profile helps best!
Thanks!

Thanks so much for this, this is nice
thank you very much for your video! It's very informative!
Would be awesome to have a video where you are talking about your bad client experiences, without naming any names of course.
Might be an hour long video 😅
Would you be able to make a video on how you set up milestones for long term projects with the clients budget/your rate in mind? Thanks!

Already made videos on that (although not all in one video)
@@ThomasIm Thanks, I am really into this idea. Doing some research and taking some notes, this is a good business I think.

True
Great tips

Great🎉. What about connects? What range you are comfortable paying for?
Hi, Thomas, thank you for your video. I received a response to a proposal after 3 weeks. Is this normal? I have withdrawn many proposals that have not been viewed for more than 3 weeks. Now I am a little hesitant about whether this is correct.
Completely normal
Would you talk about Upwork agency?
also, can we use fiverr as well?
Is Promocode cost? Or how to get free connect?
Can you please make a video othee freelance platform because upwork is no more for beginners
How many jobs applications are you averaging vs getting hired over a given month?
Hey Thomas, is your Upwork profile banned? I can't seem to find it on the website
I'm new, want to ask what does connections mean
they re like ticket you need to apply for a job
Thanks Thomas! I wanted to ask, can one apply to other jobs in other categories?
Why not?
Thanks Thomas! 🙏
Thomas can you please tell the name and purpose of the chrome extension you're suing "red icon" on the right upper side of your browser?.
Thanks!
block ads
Ublock origin is the name of the extension
Thanks for these insights! Btw, does anyone have a link to anu community for upwork freelancers? Looking to join one!

@@Ed-gd5ecup work gives you 50 free connects when you join.
zero review projects are mostly scammers. But the one that have attached a pdf, and shows details about the project are likely worth it.
@@Ed-gd5ec I started last week, and yes Upwork did give me like 100 connects when I sign up.
@@AnsafP Thanks for the advice!
@@waterxfish6254 Good luck :)
Any tips for an entry job to look for?
which is yur fav chrome theme
What would be the best jobs for a beginner on Upwork who has no experience in a specific area such as (IT or video editing) ?
