I just found out about your channel and I'm binge watching all of your videos cuz there's just so much knowledge I am getting from you. I am glad I found out about you. You gained a new subscriber. Thanks!
I am about 2 months on Upwork, getting started was a dreadful and slow process, because clients don't hire newbies generally, but after two weeks and almost giving up I got hired! It was a 30 $ project and it was very successful, then the jobs started rolling in! getting great feedback and earning 1000 in a month. Then I got an hourly job, earning a lot of money in one project. The review was not the best, it was a 4,3 and he didn't recommend me. After that, I got my success rate it was 87% until now, it has been really difficult again to get clients. But It's better than when I started. Now I am in the process of getting better clients to raise my success score at least above 90%. Unfortunate I got one of those aggressive clients and she didn't like my price(very picky because she loved my service), she left a 4.8. that's my story as of now, I determined to make success on Upwork and that's why I found this youtube channel. Thanks for the amazing tips and insights into Upwork's system
@@reflectreflex7612 fun you ask, no I’m a graphic designer. It’s much better. I’m busy creating my own sales channels via social media and my website to get more customers outside Upwork. Most jobs i do now are at least 1200 per project and when i look back, I can’t believe i ever worked for 30€
Thank you Aleksander. This is a very informative video. In fact your whole channel is full of useful videos. I'm so happy I found you on RUclips. Can you make a video for someone who wants to start a new agency ?
I'm learning full stack development and I wanna be a freelancer... I wanted a video how to start at upwork and you just did that... Beautifully ...❤️❤️❤️👌
Aleksander, I read an article that said Upwork clients hate to work with agencies, so I wrote the idea off. Now you’re saying something different. I want to learn more about your ideas.
Here’s my experience so far with the platform: - An approved UpWork freelancer with a profile. - I’m a new freelancer without UpWork job history - Profile contains my professional background as a SQL Developer and SharePoint Developer and jobs performed. - Proposal submitted using techniques recommended by you. - Searched for jobs that clearly matched my skill level - Used the same language the client used in the job request. - Asked questions. - My proposal is the first and only submitted (at time of this thread). - The client has viewed the job at least once during the past 7 days. My proposal was submitted 7 days ago as well. - No invites. - No interviews. - No answered invites. Any assistance would greatly be appreciated. - PS - (1) Is it true that UpWork provide connects to either or both account types at the beginning of the month? (2) What are your comments regarding the algorithm returning connects if a client cancels or the job doesn’t make a selection in given period? Thanks for your comments. /r, Mike W.
FANTASTIC VIDEO! SO SO much good information here, THANK YOU so much sir! I do, however, have a few questions for you. 1. I want to do multiple jobs on upwork (transcribing, writing, and designing). Do I need separate accounts for each of these jobs? 2. How does payment work? Do I need to set up a paypal account? What payment method have you found to be easiest? 3. I've heard that Upwork takes out about 20% from each payment you receive from a client.. is this true? Again, THANK YOU for your help! I hope you have the time and willingness to respond to my questions soon! Have a wonderful Sunday!
Hi Faith, focus on one service that is in high demand and send 10 proposals per day for that one focus. Check out my other video on how to write your profile.
I have been on upwork for close to one year now without any success story. No jobs,few invite and no interviews. I am really frustrated, I need help. Thank you.
Hello Aleksander, I have a question, please. Is it advised to have a specialized profile that's completely different from your general profile? Like say designer general profile and writer specialized profile
@@AleksanderVitkin Do you have like a class, training or a way you can teach this cuz i really think it would be more understandable if people can have live interaction and lots of room to ask questions
Hiii sir i won't to start an Freelanceing As I am a 1st year student and i won't to work as content writer and i don't have any past history so how does I can do it? Plz reply me Plz....
Hi, in perspective of ranking your profile high through earning more money over the period of time. I want to ask a question that I created my account back in 2016, but didn't worked at that time. Now, recently I started working and earned a good amount in last two three months. So, being inactive for 4 years will effect my profile?
Yes check out my other video where I share a template, or check out businessmentor.com for a comprehensive process for a business on upwork in general.

Please consider my case & create a higly relevent content with actual bidding study so that i can get some introspective view about it.

Don't let them bully you around just because they feel superior or psychotic. Cheaper clients tend to be more psycho btw, it gets better from here.
@@AleksanderVitkin Thank you, I noticed that. Today I signed a contract with a very nice client for long term work.
How is it running now? Are you doing full stack?

Great advice thanks
I have been on UpWork up to a week and have upgraded my profile, but I have not received any offer yet.
Can you please link your Upwork profile.
I've struggling getting any work on the website.
Hello Aleksander, I have a question, please. Is it advised to have a specialized profile that's completely different from your general profile? Like say designer general profile and writer specialized profile
Is it passing on upwork readiness test will be the way how to get a rising talent badge? If so why I have not got it since I passed the test?
I've been working for a year during this year I get hired once or twice every 3 months, how I can increase that rate
sara badawi send 35 proposals per day
@@AleksanderVitkin Isn't that too much especially with buying the connects?
I am usually applying to 3 to 4 per day and even if this possible I can't fit with 35 jobs a day to apply?
@@AleksanderVitkin hahaha are you kidding me?
@@chillbruhh6808 How do you think, can you get out of that more competition? By trying to apply to loads of jobs, eventually will get one
Hello i really need help on understanding this like a more practical explanation

is upwork still worth it to get into in 2024 , I hear a lot of negative things about it
As they say, the more people complain the better it is, just like nightclubs.

upwork is garbage now
for those who don’t know how it works, everything is “garbage”
You are garbage
@@AleksanderVitkin hahaha
not agree with a 20,000 + per month. But everyone has his own point of view
UpWork is a awful platform for beginners!! Very hard to get a job!
Depends how you do it.
