    EXECUTION 
    These look amazing! I clicked over to back you and buy one as a gift for a relative who loves jigsaws but at 1000 pieces they are too big for her. I'm sure you have a very good reason for chooing the size, but just a little customer feedback, fwiw :D Do you have plans to release different sizes...

    (Re)introduction from the UK

    INTRO 
    Hi all, time for a proper introduction. I'm UK based, thirty-something, self-employed in a variety of jobs and looking to move forward. Two years ago I did a silly thing. I read TMF, found these forums and was blown away. I read a lot of threads, did the usual 'I have no ideas' thing, began to...

    This post. So simple, stupidly obvious, but it just blew my mind! Thank you for everything you've shared here @JasonR

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I've just returned to this forum after a couple of years and had to read this thread! I want to add a little something to the 'it can't be done' debate. I also started an Upwork account based on SinisterLex's original thread two (?) years ago and I picked up a few jobs (mostly content, some...

    Hi, just want to say thanks for all the fantastic information you have shared here and ask one question about your book if that's ok? I'm in the UK and often find myself skipping whole sections or chapters of business books that deal with US taxes/business entities and other location specific...

    Lex DeVille's: How to Make $1,000 a Week with no Degree, no Feedback, & no Portfolio.

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Thanks. I read your post and it looks like we are doing some of the same things. You said your earnings were for the first six weeks? My $1000+ is for nearly three months - month 1 was not much but it's building up - so you're probably heading the same way! I love your idea of having a...

    I'm just reaching the end of month 3 on Upwork and though I'd post some progress here, in case anything I say helps someone else. Earnings are just over $1200 but picking up now ($600+ already booked for the next week). I have several recurring jobs (some content stuff) and since becoming Top...

    This is worrying - my third rating was 4-and-something stars. The client was thrilled with the work I sent him and ready to re-hire me immediately so I can only assume that he (like most reasonable people!) thought that 4+ was a good rating. But I'm already worried about how it will affect my...

    I am starting to have the same problem. My advertised rate is sitting at $25/hr (low for copywriting but quite high for content writing - not really ideal for either!) but my actual pay for content is quite a bit lower than this as I tend to quote a fixed price per-article (depending on the...

    I believe that some unhappy Elancers have tried this - I read something last month about a site that was opening on the 1st Nov to compete with Upwork but I haven't seen anything about it since. I can't remember the site name now - frustrating!

    Some great tips - especially #4. I've found that explaining the 'why' gets me a better response to proposals - after reading this I will try adding it the the final delivery too. I'd like to add a tip of my own for those who like getting paid to learn. Some clients will actually teach you what...

    @SinisterLex - that is an amazing offer. If you are looking for a(nother) beginner's profile to rip apart then I would be happy to volunteer mine. But it's not finished and not even close to the standard I would like it to be (I already know some things I need to do to make it better and intend...

    I'd second this - I'm very interested in UK property investing and would love to see more discussion of it. If you'd be willing to share any of your background and experiences then I'm sure there would be some interest.

    Thank you, I'm honoured :embarrased: Some great advice in that clip. The Dropbox tip is especially useful because I use it anyway but never thought to put portfolio items there and branching out to other freelance sites seems like an obvious step. I really like your presentation too, and your...

    I completed my first jobs for two different clients over the weekend. Both immediately offered me more work and both have increased the fee substantially! I also upped my hourly rate a little now that I have a couple of jobs to show. It's weird but I almost feel that my hourly rate looks 'too...

    You come across as energetic and eager! You show them that there are problems to be solved and how you will solve them (you might be more specific about your solutions - eg. 'I will update you as I finish each section of the job'). I don't want to comment any more on the style as there are wiser...
