Hey!
As some of you may know I have been doing some copywriting gigs on Upwork (Not the best place but made some money), I got really bored of writing copy and decided to change my profile completely to marketing consultant. I set up my price to 35 dollars hourly and changed my profile to fit someone who does marketing (I am quite a noob on Marketing, more on that later). Didnt get any job. I stopped paying attention to upwork for a bit and one month later I decided to see what happened if I double my hourly fee to 70 dollars. And you know what... This happened:
Almost Daily interview invitations to high paying long term gigs.
But you know what... I am stupid, I am scared to follow up. I just accepted the interview and then didnt answer any of their messages. Why? I felt that I didnt have the experience to work for these clients.
1st) If you are not getting leads, maybe increase your price.
2nd) How can I change this mindset? I am lazy to do this and I am scared that I might fail with this "Big" clients. I want to start something on my own. I have started my own ecommerce store, but still its not earning a lot and would like to increase my income to potentially use the money for other ventures.
