Hi dear Kyle. First of all, I'm so glad to meet you. I, 'm Latifeh and I really want to work with you and grow up next to you. I would like to connect with you, please. Thank you
Thank you for the advise. I also subscribed to support your channel, because you give information without this noisy “YOU HAVE TO KNOW THIS 10 THINGS…”
Does it make sense to create case studies for an Upwork portfolio, which explain how I got to a design solution or just simply adding UI screens that show final designs?
I want to transition out of the job I do. (Oil and Gas worker) 3/3 rotation. The luxury of my job, is I get 3 weeks off to do whatever I want, which will allow me plenty of time to work on UI/X design. The downside…I work for 3 weeks away on an oil rig that has dodgy Wi-Fi and I have a handful of hours to myself in a day, so it’s utterly impossible to work in the evenings after a 12 hour grind. I did think this though, would it be possible to start taking on smaller UI/X gigs to build my portfolio in the beginning, then when I leave for offshore, just switch my store to holiday mode? I can’t commit to long projects for obvious reasons. Is there room in UI/UX design for designers to take on smaller gigs or do these projects take forever to complete generally?
The main reason was I wanted to diversify my experience throughout my career. I thought it would make me a better designer to have a good understanding of how to improve a product over a long period of time and work consistently with a team. The other reason was the pay was better than what I was making on Upwork, so that was hard to turn down. I would definitely recommend trying freelancing if you haven't yet.
@@kyletorres4754 thanks for the response! I get that, it’s funny because I want the opposite right now and to diversify and learn and work on different projects. Keep up the videos, good content!
he isn't even on Upwork. Tried to find him and his name isn't even there... i love how there are people that love to exaggerate but they have nothing to back up their claims @@brunoescoto9630
@@brunoescoto9630 Chances are his profile is now set to private, which a lot of freelancers do when they get recurring work on Upwork and don't want new invites. Also, he doesn't work on Upwork anymore. He has a regular FT job which he points out in the video, so it would make sense to private or hide his profile on Upwork if he's not currently looking for work there.
Kyle, how did you look for ui/ux projects on upwork, how would you recommend getting the first jobs? For me, who is learning English, do you think I should avoid a specific job at the beginning?
I think either can be good, but I prefer hourly projects. The reason is, fixed price projects can often be much longer and more complex than expected. It is hard to know if that fixed price is accurate or not. With hourly projects, it is no problem if it takes longer than expected because you are still getting paid fairly.
@@yahyafethii Usually it will be on Zoom, but Upwork also has a video call feature that some clients might use. The rest of the communication is usually done on the Upwork messenger feature.
Hi guys. Do we need to interview customers every time we receive an order for ux/ui design from Upworkt? Or can we also take the order just by writing?
Hey Kyle, Awesome video dude, 1st one I have watched on your channel while I was searching for the term "how to be a successful UX/UI Designer on Upwork" QQ: Are you still offering to do portfolio reviews for UI Designers?
Thank you so much for this informative content. How long do you think it would take more or less for a Product Designer with zero real experience (But with a website portfolio) to take their first gigs? And the second question is do you think it is better to focus on 1 platform like Upwork or is it better to be on several platforms like Fiver as well?
Thank you so much for the question! If your portfolio looks good, you should be able to land a lower-paying gig pretty quickly. My guess would be somewhere around 2 weeks to a month if you are constantly applying for gigs. I personally think it is better to focus on one platform because you want all of your reviews to be in one place. The more reviews you get, the easier it is to get consistent high-paying gigs. I think dividing your time between platforms would make that take a lot longer. Also, I was going to start making portfolio review videos on my channel. If you are interested in having me review your portfolio in a video, you can email it to me at kyletorresdesign@gmail.com
hey i amde my profile on upwork and i am a beginer in uiux with 0 projetcs. how much time will take to get first project. how can i covience clients to hire for my first project
If a person starting out, how much it takes to get first work with 0 reviews under his belt? And what per hours charges shall designer should charge initially.
Great question! I think somewhere around $10 - $20 per hour would be a good place to start. If you have an affordable rate like that and a good portfolio of concept projects, that should be enough to get your first projects. I would try to find some short projects at that rate to get those first clients and reviews and then increase your rate from there.
@@kyletorres4754 I would start with $50, since the client is privelidged that they have an experienced designer they can work with. Unless the person is starting out with no prior experience then sure
thanks for those advices
Please upload how to need skills and what we need to study for be good ui ux designer in upwork or any job ? I subscribed you

Why did you go back to full-time? Currently a full-time designer now and thinking of making the switch

Very useful video, thank you Kyle. What's your opinion: LLC or not?
Thank you! I don’t think it’s necessary if you’re just doing work on Upwork. I think a DBA works fine.
@@kyletorres4754 thanks 4 ur opinion!
Hi there, possible to share your portfolio on upwork? I think it’d be much more helpful to see how you visually laid things out.
Could you share your portfolio on UpWork?
he has none. i don´t think he made 100k a year

What you suggest us to work on? Fixed-Price Project or Hourly Project?

It is hard to know if that fixed price is accurate or not. With hourly projects, it is no problem if it takes longer than expected because you are still getting paid fairly.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience. What is the most effective option to write cover letter on upwork you have discovered for Ux Ui jobs?
Hi guys. Do we need to interview customers every time we receive an order for ux/ui design from Upworkt? Or can we also take the order just by writing?
Ideally, you would want to get on a call with them to discuss the job in depth. I suppose for something pretty simple it can just be done by writing.
How would you go about discobering why a companies conversion rate is low? What is the process youd go through as a UX Designer to discover that?
Did you have to get a developer to help you with your project

Do you have any job experiences before starting ur freelancer work?
Yeah, I had some. I started a design/development agency with a friend of mine before that. I had about 1 year of experience before freelancing.
🤠 Agreed 🌈
Plz work on making voice clear
