I found your account because I’m starting on upwork and I genuinely find your videos very casual and nice like I’m hanging out with a friend and receiving tips and advices
Im not sure if you have or not but if you haven't, can you please make a video talking about the backend numbers. Like revenue, COGS, profit margins, etc.
I agree with you completely about selling something to someone. I never really thought of it by knowing more about something than the other person that's very true. The way I would approach selling something to someone is to think about key features of the product vs its competitors and compare prices if its favorable to the item I'm trying to sell. I guess another simple and very effective tool is simply to know everything about the product also because maybe sometimes something as simple as explaining the product can be very effective. Interesting information though.
I really appreciate your honesty and normality in this age of gurus everywhere trying to sell you something. This is the main reason why your channel is blooming as it is, keep on! One thing interest me thou, how can you be profitable when all this work on Upwork is payed low? If I would to get any work from Upwork and tried to outsource it, I would not be able to earn anything or pretty low, like 10% max. Can you share your numbers at least in percentage? Thank you!
One of my questions is, how do you pitch yourselves to your prospective freelancers? Do they know that you are acting as a middle manager to other clients or do you act like you are the client wanting the job done?
So by running an agency do you mean you advertise on upwork as if you're fulfilling the service and then you're outsourcing it to other people to fulfill?
@@annaleel.8456 he hates that this guy streamlined a service that works for him instead of working 80 hours a week. See the comment you replied to hates that this guy is making money the "easy" way, while he has to work hard. It's the lazy mindset of the average person who always envy people with money.
@@ghostwalker89 I work very hard and while it isn’t the best I love it because I can talk to others and I still make decent money, but still not a good reason to hate on someone.
@@annaleel.8456 yeah the original guy you commented about is just hating that this RUclipsr was able to figure out not only how to make money from this, but how to basically build a small working forcd under him. It's no different than running a small store and hiring employees. At that point he becomes the manager and doesn't have to do the labor portion. With this kind of model, he is paying for the labor required, but doesn’t have to do things like payroll, insurance or benefits. There will always be college students who need some money that could do the grunt work for him, or people doing it on the side. Instead of them hoping to find a client, he can supply them with semi consistent work and pay as an intermediary.
I’m curious to know what do you think Thomas on the social media management service in relation to AI evaluation. Do you think the upcoming AI technology can cause any danger to social media management service?
Great video as always. I started upwork because of your videos, I already did social media marketing and websites. However upwork will not accept my ID no matter what, and they dont provide me with an alternate method of verification no matter how many times I contact support. Its very frustrating as I got two clients before this became an issue, and now unless they are willing to pay outside of upwork, I wont be able to accept the payment, and they wont be able to review me. Any idea what could be causing this? I look like the pic on my ID and followed all their guidelines for approval
Have you tried the marketing side or have you always done the social media management? I ask because I prefer the marketing side, leaving the content creation to others.
Started UpWork a couple days ago, finished with one client already and talking to a few more. Do you have a project or projects that you sell? What’s the breakdown there? And do you have any certifications?
I have just one question Thomas: So lets say you got a client and you agreed to do SMM for him for 10 hours a week and you go to your freelancer and gave him the details... How do you calculate the hours cz upwork uses its app to track time and take pics from your computer how do you calculate time spent by your freelancer and how do the client track the time spent by you even tho you are not doing the work ?

It would be interesting if you talk about your pricing models and how do you price your services. Thanks 👍🏻
Im not sure if you have or not but if you haven't, can you please make a video talking about the backend numbers. Like revenue, COGS, profit margins, etc.
I've watched a few of your videos. You are inspiring. I thank you for the videos it helped me understand things better. #stayhard 💯💪❤

Hi Thomas, thank you for sharing! I'm one of your premium discord members ^_^
Hey can you share discord joining link?
Yea he should definitely do a transformation video of getting muscle 💪💪 before and after both life's ..get you some good views on RUclips I suppose
Your video was very informative. How do you handle unexpected issues that arise during your workday?
Haha, I always used to wonder why you always have your mic in your hand 😂
So by running an agency do you mean you advertise on upwork as if you're fulfilling the service and then you're outsourcing it to other people to fulfill?
Did u watch the full video???

@@Arbaz_At never could resolve it
You’re the goat
Nah
Do you need a portfolio to begin upwork? How are you meant to show experience if you're just starting off and haven't done a project yet?
do some - do some for free for friends - local companies etc - build it that way
The honest life of a future billionaire 🎉
Do you choose to work with clients that have smaller employees or do you have like a certain limit that you like to make sure you stay above?
Hi Thomas, fellow Upwork-er here. My name is Santiago, what do you think about Contra? Vs Upwork? Thanks!
Hey man nice to see your doing good in life keep on going❤🎉
:)
Have you tried the marketing side or have you always done the social media management? I ask because I prefer the marketing side, leaving the content creation to others.
Can you teach me how you got started, I think I can relate to you in everything just from watching your videos.
Yes I can!
Started UpWork a couple days ago, finished with one client already and talking to a few more. Do you have a project or projects that you sell? What’s the breakdown there? And do you have any certifications?
Are you doing smma?
It’s in his bio and what certifications are you talking about?
@@ejayagnesmeta certification, marketing ecommerce I believe, or its social media manager
@@light-water You don’t need any certifications
I saw its against the upwork rules to outsource on hourly contract
True
@@ThomasIm How do you log the hours from your freelancers on the time tracker, Manually?
Hi, what microphone do you use?
Haha nice cut off lol were you interested on that contract!? Lol
Hey bro, I am a beginner struggling to get orders on freelance marketplace, the competition is insane. Can you make a video about this topic?
I have just one question Thomas:
So lets say you got a client and you agreed to do SMM for him for 10 hours a week and you go to your freelancer and gave him the details... How do you calculate the hours cz upwork uses its app to track time and take pics from your computer how do you calculate time spent by your freelancer and how do the client track the time spent by you even tho you are not doing the work ?
really ?????????? upwork uses its app to track time and take pics from your computer"
@@ReformationsGlassArt yess! and I hate that
So do you have a business account or is it just under a personal account?
I actually learnt from your boring day(as you call it).
Do you have a framework to blow up your clients reach and engagement?
I'm a graphic designer, how can I go about working for ypu on upwork? I'd love to chat I've watched a few of your vids
Hi, how can I join your Agency?

Hey thomas whats your long term goal? do you feel like you are developing skills?
Hey guys can anyone give some tips, I’ve created high quality content for brands and people, but I haven’t necessarily done social media management, can I use the content I’ve made for my portfolio?
Why would you use Slack instead of Discord? I was thinking about using Discord but I'm not sure. What do you think about that?
Clients usually request you to use slack. Not sure if that’s the case for him tho
Almost all professional companies use slack. Using discord is probably going to be a bad look for your business
You make 10k AFTER paying your team? Just to clarify 🤔
Yup
Hey Tom, are any of your students in your course running an up work agency while working full time?
