Building a career on Upwork
Profile, proposals, pricing and delivery, from six years and 250+ contracts on Upwork.
I freelanced on Upwork from 2015 to 2021 and completed more than 250 contracts, mostly WordPress, Laravel and React work. This course is the profile, proposal and pricing system I built over those years, with the mistakes left in.
No course can promise you work or a particular income on Upwork. Your skill, your market and the platform all play a part. What this course can do is help you avoid the mistakes that cost me most in my early years.
How it runs
It is self-paced. Short video lessons, in order: profile, proposals, pricing, delivery and reviews, then long-term clients. Start today and apply each part to your own profile as you go.
What you will build
A rewritten profile, a proposal approach you can reuse, a clear way to price fixed and hourly work, and a plan for turning good one-off jobs into ongoing clients.
What you’ll be able to do
- Write a profile that filters for good clients
- Send proposals that get replies
- Price fixed and hourly work correctly
- Handle milestones, communication and reviews on a contract
- Turn one-off jobs into retainers
- New freelancers setting up an Upwork profile
- Freelancers who send proposals and hear nothing back
- Anyone with a digital skill to sell: development, design, writing or marketing
A skill you can sell. Nothing else.
