    Is it ok to start cheap on UpWork?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I've been offered a $15 gig on UpWork for some basic web development work. It's easy work but will probably take several hours. It would be my first gig on UpWork. Should I just take it to get the ball rolling? Or will having a $15 gig on my profile make me look like a low quality freelancer?

    Have you considered using a template? If your focus is on copywriting then you probably don't want to invest your time in building a website from scratch.

    I spoke to a bunch of banks today. My Chinese isn't stellar but from what I gather, both parties must have a company. This would be fine in a typical import/export deal but my buyer is just a regular person who wants of a bunch of stuff imported. Is there a way to safely sell to individual...

    I called my bank in the UK and the advisor said they don't deal with L/C's, and that other high street banks likely don't deal with them either. I just called Barclays as well and the guy had no idea what it was.

    Do I need a business bank account to use an L/C? Is it viable for smaller orders? The value of this shipment is only around £200-£300.

    Hi Walter, I'm in China just now and somebody has asked me to help them get some products from the West. She sounds pretty desperate for them so there may be an opportunity here if there are others like her. What are the pitfalls of importing into China? I've read before that it's to be...

    Sales As A Service

    EXECUTION 
    Ok I see. OP has been scraping from the same company, albeit in a different country. Do you think OP or anybody who wants to try this should be worried about getting sued? I don't know enough about the cold calling industry to know whether that's a realistic threat or not.

    I was looking into web scraping and it turns out to be illegal. Yell places fake listings in the data to catch people who are using it for marketing. Sucks since I was going to try this. Phones4U hit by writ over web 'rip-offs' | This is Money

    I also see lots of dated websites but they're not necessarily "bad". For example: Plumbers in Dundee | Watsons Plumbers It's fairly obvious what they do and the phone number is quite prominent. The content is a bit crammed for my tastes but other than that it seems okay. Is it worth pitching...

    I'm seeing some websites that are around 4 or 5 years old with keyword stuffing. At the top or bottom of the page they have dozens of keywords, obviously trying to get ranked in Google for different locations or services. It looks to me like they are just wasting space and visitor attention...

    @Fox Just wanted to say thanks for sharing your experience and advice. I'm almost dizzy thinking about the potential here. I'm gonna hammer out a website or two to get comfortable with the template I've chosen to work with then approach local places that need help. I have one or two in mind...

    After taking the advice on this thread to heart, I went on UpWork and sent off some “you-focused” applications. I gave someone a short sample (and made it GOOD), saying they could use it whether they hired me or not. And hey-presto, it’s turned into a lead. So forget about the money... Just...

    Tech stocks were gaining value before they crashed in 2000. Real estate was gaining value before it crashed in 2008. People had confidence in both of these things, just as they do in the dollar. And then they didn't. The U.S. has printed trillions of dollars, and has staggering levels of...
