upwork

You read that right. You will now have to pay $0.15 per Connect to bid on a job, with some jobs costing up to 6 Connects or $.90. The most noticeable impact? Less competition for jobs. The barrier to entry just got raised a lot, spam reduced, etc. I’m personally against it, even though I only...

A quick introduction and background: Around October 2018, I knew nothing about copywriting. I decided to go through and complete Lex' 15 day copywriting challenge/exercise thread. In fact, I was about on day 10/11 when I decided to get the balls to start sending in proposals to people on...

While its been a while since I've posted here, I have been lurking somewhat regularly. As I sit here in a Starbucks today drinking my $2.41 hot green tea (essentially the price I pay so I can get out of the house and be around people outside of my gym), I came across this thread about the...

Upwork goes public tomorrow, UPWK, initially priced at $15 a share. Upwork prices IPO at $15 a share If you make your living via Upwork, that could only mean one thing... Look for the higher pricing, less value squeeze to start at some point as the urgent need to meet analyst earnings...

I tried “saved searches” filtered by technology (for example ASP.NET and ASP.NET MVC). However saved searches are good only for monitoring just added projects. But when I decide to look for a project, I’d like to review those that a few days old too. I don’t constantly monitor new projects...

I've started web design and I am trying to begin on Upwork before moving on to projects outside Upwork. Following @SinisterLex 's and @Fox 's advice on getting approved. Unfortunately I have not been able to get approved after many tries. Can you guys take a look at my bios and other settings in...

Alright, just as I said. I would post some results from my Reddit tests. It seems that the folks need to see something tangible. I still will need to develop a cheap prototype and have 50-100 batches. I spotted a competing product being used by someone from today's meeting. I borrowed it for a...

Hello everyone! For some background: Back in November I started my eCommerce business which is going very well. Right now I am looking to make some extra cash to fund more inventory, products, distribution channels, and ad testing. One of my friends contacted me with perfect timing -...

So I can’t remember what thread it was posted in but I noticed someone mentioning they were developing a system to automate their jobs on fiverr and freelance sites. I’m not asking what specific tasks can be automated, I’m just seeing if it’s possible or if anyone has done it before? Obviously...

Not a sales ad. Growing my YouTube channel. Just crossed 800 subs and thought it would be cool to do a 1k giveaway. Entry is open until the channel reaches 1,000 subscribers. Since the channel is heavily skewed toward a freelance audience, the prize is freelance relevant. The same setup I...

Hey everyone! I've been lurking on this forum and have found a lot of good information that helped me with getting clients on upwork especially. I thought that it was time to introduce myself and answer any questions any of you had about building apps / teaching yourself how to build apps /...

While reading forum yesterday I came to read a post by MJ where he was appreciating a non-digital product made by a guy here on forum. From days, I'm confused with the scale and time factors of CENTS. Today, I've tested a market of home-based carwash service using facebook ads. While I was...

My freelance writing journey over the span of 6 months: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Hired by a man on Upwork to write articles about Facebook Live Murders. Strangely, he insisted that they be comedic. Of...

I remember reading a post about someone on here who deleted their profile on Upwork, created a new one to show that making money on the side is possible. I was inspired by that post and wanted to do a case study for my LinkedIn followers by doing the same - starting from 0 and optimizing along...

Back in January, I started Freelancing to make some additional income while working a job, with the chance of growing the service into an agency. It's been really good practice for building a business, learning about all the processes and systems that make up one and maintaining it well. A few...
