You could...Thinking about taking @Lex DeVille's course on Upwork Proposals after reading his thread and watching his videos. What do you guys think?
The course: Advanced Upwork Proposals: How To 10X Client Responses Fast
I'd like to stay laser-focused on one platform to see where it takes me instead of trying to get clients from everywhere, and not gaining any speed.
Sort of master-of-one vs jack-of-all-trades.
I'm curious. How have you got on with your own network, and the people closest to you physically (local businesses etc)?
If you live in Someville population 30,000 and mention you do Google Ads / AdWords then it won't take long for local business owners to pick up on it. Be the big fish in a small pond?
I personally prefer to start with people who already know me, or who are physically near me. I'm pretty good at Google Ads, but I bet you Uncle would go with you over me, and I bet the local plumber in Someville would too.
