    Just wanted to say thank you for all of the tips. Brand new to upwork and started sending proposals less than a week ago and have already gotten my first client at 50 USD per hour. These tips work, you just need to get started!

    Thank you, Thomas. After watching your video, I started sending about ten proposals per day, and I eventually got my first job.😀

    I will hit 10k mark on upwork on christmas thanks to your course man. You gave me a clear feedback about my profile and proposals. I started in september. Now it's december and I am way over 8k. Thomas is the real deal. Love the rawness and no bs approach.

    This is super helpful, can't wait for part 4. One thing I was hoping for was you'd go a little deeper into the actual "Profile overview" and the best practice for that.

    Hey Thomas, I just sign my first client within the first day. Crazy to think about…. 30 dollars an hour 10 hours per week. Thanks for all the tips man!

    And lastly, can I keep on creating multiple portfolio for myself and uploading, do you think that helps to getting a chance of being hired.

    Hello Thomas,
    Kindly make a video on how to create a Google drive portfolio to use as a link when applying to work on Upwork.
    Otherwise, I like your content. Can you maybe create an agency and hire some of your followers who come from third world countries since it is had for them to get clients from USA.

    Hi Thomas, love the value you provide with your videos, thanks a lot!
    Quick question: What would you recommend to someone who doesn't have "client results" in their portfolio? I do have strong portfolio samples but since I am new in my niche, I haven't been able to create proper case studies that show results.
    Do you think it'll dim the chances of me getting hired? Also, what advice would you give to someone who wants to build case studies? Should they work for free in the start in order to do that?
    Thank you in advance!

      When I started out, I didn't have the client results or the client testimonials folder. So no need to stress too much about it

    Hi Lim, I love and follow your videos.
    I obtained the top-rated badge within three months doing Software Testing.
    However, it has been a month, and the top-rated badge does not seem to be helping. I have only done fixed-price jobs (no hourly work).
    How can I secure an hourly job or receive direct invitations?
    Also, how can I bring my profile to the top of the talent search results?

    Hey Thomas! Thank you for your valuable content on RUclips. I have a question: If I get a client on Upwork for hourly work and then decide to outsource the tasks, how can I show that I am completing the job without adding manual time? Many clients don't allow manual time entries. PLEASE ANSWER!!!!!! I appreciate your feedback.

    A quick question Thomas: as a beginner in upwork, who just start about a month ago. How will I be considerate with my price and charging client per hour( l’m a social media manager and a video editor) how much do you think I should reasonably charge for a start.

    Its been 5 month since i started upwork and due to the country am located in, buying connects is really hard near to impossible as i have to work to get the dollars. I Started freelancer and had entered some contests to earn some funds...what would u recommend i do to get 10-20 dollars for buying connects. Sry about the long comment also.

      I had money saved up before I started upwork. I would not rely on upwork if you're starting with 0

    @andywithout Месяц назад

    Love the content man, but sending more than 10 good proposals a day would require about 190 Connects daily, which translates to roughly $30 a day just to submit proposals. Yeah, no thanks-that doesn’t make any sense.

    • @Drod11z
      @Drod11z Месяц назад

      But all it takes is one client so you can reinvest the money into more connects right?

    • @andywithout
      @andywithout Месяц назад

      @ lol no, Your Connects are returned only if a client closes their job without hiring. If a client never hires but doesn't close the job, your Connects are not returned.
