Hello Josh! I am interested in data analytics. What's its scope on upwork because I could not find any job on upwork related to data analytics work?
Hello Josh...
Please upload a vedio about upwork profile creation for beginners who has no work history on upwork. Guide us about how to rank our profile.
ive got a degree in statistics( which includes machine learning). graduated in 2020. imma try this
Great skills to have! Keep working on them. There's tons of great machine learning material online.
Hey josh! Thanks for another great informative video ❤️❤️
Hey Prince! You're very welcome, as always! ❤️
Hey Josh, What do think about Blockchain programming is it worth to learn about such things? Thanks :)
I love your accent how calm you are
The great combination of being an introvert from KY. 😁🤣
The quality of your videos are incredible.
Thanks so much Carlos! Trying to get a little better with each one.😀
Hi josh.I am interested in data science.I took a college course and got A in it. I want to find a job in this field.I don’t know what course to take and what to study next.could you help me find the course that leads to job.thanks
Hello im thinking about either learning machine learning or artificial intelleigence (i searched the difference between them btw) but can you guide me which is the better path (salary/demand/difficulity) and thanks in advance!
Idt you should be getting your head around the details too much since they both share so much in common, start learning python and see for yourself which one work best for you , but just gotta say ;in term of which one pays more and the one with higher demand rate , i think machine learning is a winner
Very informational video. Any comments on Cyber security skills?
Stay tuned for my next video 😉
That's the video I was waiting for. Thank you, Josh! Also, great video and audio quality. Keep it up, man.
Thanks so much, Ahmad! Trying to get a little better with each video. Super glad that you enjoyed it! 👍
Hey, @JoshBurnsTech,
If my client is located in Kuwait and l'm located in India then the payment would be done as per the Kuwait Dinar rate or else the standard USD form?
Hay Josh, thank you for all your encouraging videos. But I have been following you on CZcams for more than 8 months, learning and following your guidance. Yet, I could not get a project or any job on Upwork.🙄
Hey! What’s your freelance skill set in? Do you have examples of your work to show clients? Is your profile fully optimized and are you creating custom proposals that are client centric?
@josh can you help me why I'm not getting client's proposals whereas I send 5 proposals daily
Hello Josh.
Your content is awesome.
Really appreciate that, Muhammad! 🙏 Are you freelancing on Upwork or working on developing a freelance skill set?
@@JoshBurnsTech I'm freelancing on Upwork and doing good.
When I started working on Upwork again last year, before starting again I watched some of your videos which helped.
Thanks
Hey Josh , what do you think about translation text field ? I'm thinking about learning couple of languages like up to 5 languages and I'm not sure if this idea worth it . But I do enjoy learning languages . If you think it is a good idea I will go for it .
Hey! Go to Upwork and research freelancers with that skill set. Look at earnings, rates, etc. That will give you the best idea if it’s worth it or not.
You don't need to go and actually learn the languages to do translation..You just have to find the apps that do that and learn how the apps work..There is apps /trick/tools for all manner of translation now.
Ik i should be saying do what you like the most and all will work out for you but unfortunately this is not how today jobs makrets work , I worked in interpretation field for a while before i finally do what i always thought to be right and step into the technology field ,programming sites and apps, stuffs like that , i myself didn't make much profit translating documents perhaps because i only knew 3 languages at that time , but i know many who've made tremendous amount of money and whove had really positive reviews im not sure what makes them special to the employees and how they did it but they seem to have really good marketing skills that gave them the upper hand , theres lotta cons about freelancing in this particular field one is that you should expect sooo much compitation since its relatively easy to learn and some ppl typically speaks more then couple languages, if you got some skills or some sorta marketing strategy that makes you advantageous somehow go for it , if not i suggest you find you a better carrier
Hey josh I'm in programming and i like it very much. As u know I'm learning python, I'm still very confused in which field i should make a carrer. Can you tell what will be best for me. I like some cybersecurity and data analytics. stuff
Hey! I can't tell you what you should choose or what would be best for you, because it really depends on what you enjoy the most. The only way to identify that is through research, learning, and trying different skills. If you're interested in data analytics, then SQL and Python would be great for data engineer jobs, data analyst jobs, etl development, etc.
@@JoshBurnsTech thanks man also this video was one of the best and informative video I've seen on freelancing. 👍
@@premraj4539 Thanks man! Really appreciate that. 🙏
Thx for the video, you know that the best way to improve a skill is by practicing it and practice needs real projects/jobs. Can i do that with HTML&CSS on upwork? Thank you.
You can practice web development through your own projects. I understand what you mean, but remember that your reputation is more important than anything. If you take a job without the necessary skills and it doesn't end well, then that will hurt your reputation significantly.
Develop a High-Demand Low-in-Supply Skill.
I am a MERN stack developer and just recently came on Upwork a month ago. I have tried everything you said- updated my profile, wrote cover letters just like you said and I still dont have a job 😔. The worst part is that the clients reach out, them never respond back. Almost all the clients that reached out to me didn't hire anyone else so it wasn't about skillset, thats for sure. One client asked me to make an example for him and I submitted within 3 hours even though I had exam the nezt day and then he didn't even see it. I just don't know what Im doing wrong or what more to do. I need one job to prove my worth so that I can start getting some reviews but people reavh out and then never look back. I just don't know man what to do anymore😔
This video is really good Josh👌
Really appreciate that, Charuka! 👌 How's things been going for you? Freelance work going well?
I have always worked warehouse work and want to get a job i can travel with and wanted to try Upwork. Do you have any advice how i should go about starting on Upwork as someone who has never worked a desk/computer oriented job?
The first step would be to identify what freelance skills that you have or you’re interested in learning. What concerns do you have regarding working at a desk/computer job? Unfamiliarity or confidence?
How do we write proposal for Upwork?
Man am bad at math and memorizing stuff, what do i learn
Awesome video.. Badly need help in getting my first client😔
Hi Ronnie! What freelance skill set do you have? Have you put tons of time into your profile, portfolio, and cover letters?
@@JoshBurnsTech thanks for your response..customer service and VA... I have my profiles on freelancer sites and cover lettera but it seems they aren't effective
Dude you are awesome.
Glad you think so! :)
Hey josh! Where from I can learn SQL server like you and how to improve my communication skills 😊
Hey Ali! There’s a lot of great places to learn SQL Server. There’s some free content on my channel, Pluralsight has great courses for SQL Server, and you can checkout the first chapters for free on DataCamp using my link in the description. Communication as in better written and verbal English?
@@JoshBurnsTech thanks josh I will check
@@JoshBurnsTech i can listen english but can't speak fluently 🙁
@@AliRaza-tt4iz I know there's a lot of online English tutoring platforms. I can't think of anything specific off the top of my head, but I would recommend researching them.
Hey Josh, love all your videos. Where can I contact you regarding a partnership proposal?
Hey, glad you enjoy them! What type of partnership are you referring to?
@@JoshBurnsTech an affiliate partnership about a side hustle method that would benefit your viewers and you would earn commissions.
There's a link in my description for business opportunities.
How to keep getting jobs consistently on Upwork? I get for 2-3 times and then its dead for a month or more although I keep applying for jobs regularly.
Btw your videos have only helped me get a job, you motivated me to build my profile on Upwork. I am from the legal field
Hey Ayushi! 😀It's really about client reviews for me. I get a lot of invites due to the reviews on my profile. Also, your skill set has a lot to do with long term work. My SQL Server skill set is regularly needed for clients for database maintenance, performance tuning, and development. If you have a skill that has a clearly defined deliverable, then the project catalog would definitely be worth looking into.
I like the way you respond to every comments on your channel. I will subscribe right away 🙏 You just inspired me. I have a question to ask tho
Thanks for the sub! What's question do you have?
@@JoshBurnsTech
Before asking my questions, I would like to say thanks for your proposal tips on your other videos. I applied it last night and added my wordings and samples :)
I couldn't believe my eyes. I got two messages from the two job post, and one of the messages has turned to a milestone order.
Do you know what? I applied to one of them after 7hrs, and my total earnings is just $10. I don't know what made me different from other sellers who sent their proposals, but all I can say is JOSHHHHHHH, God Bless You - You're amazing!
Omg, I've forgotten the question I wanted to ask. I will come back here when I remember.
Thanks man and God bless!
@@brainyguy6734 Thanks so much for taking the time to share your success! I'm super happy to hear that my content helped you on Upwork. Now it's all about consistency and hard work. Keep going! 😎
@@JoshBurnsTech Thanks so much 🙏
Thanks
No problem
What about web development?
Right on!
Hey Rick! How have you been doing?
Josh Burns Tech doing well thanks! Healthy and busy. Very lucky! Hope all well with u!
Great to hear! All is well on my end. 😁
Today I spent the whole day watching your videos. How do you manage your time doing these big projects and also having a job on the other side
Wow! I hope that you learned a lot and got value from them. Which was your favorite? 🤔
@@JoshBurnsTech I started my Upwork account 2 months ago after watching one of your video. I earned around 700 dollars on Upwork. My favorite video, I would say your QNA video with your fiancé
@@xkorpion8522 That's so awesome to hear! Huge props to you for putting in the work and taking action. I will be sure to tell her that! Definitely will do another QNA video with her again sometime.😀
@@JoshBurnsTech That would be awesome
Which skills do you provide?
I'm a wordpress developer and I need portfolio for upwork how can I make that cuz I have to host that website and for that I need money help me josh?
Hey! Sorry, I can’t help with that. Do your best to save money for a cheap hosting solution.
Hello Josh!
Make a full video on how to buy crypto ? From begginer
Hey Obaid! I appreciate the recommendation. 😁
@@JoshBurnsTech thanks ... there a lot of page ,groups to reach but they paid dollars and I dont have to pay ?
I dont have money.
so the top 3 job is about data related job right like machine learning and data analytics (i also interest to mobile dev too using react native / flutter lol), well i've been looking for this job for several months by searching and exploring through upwork search job.
i'm personally fresh graduate and still beginner with minus experience (last time i work on internship for 3 month period), but most of jobs wants freelancer with experienced or expert.
then how can fresher dive in to the job, like what machine learning or data analytics job title that can i dive in if i still beginner.
and do you have any information which the niche of data analytics or machine learning job that high demanding? whether the niche of the job or the client's problem.
fyi i've been doing and passed many online course, tutorial and few personal projects.
Hey Hendry! The best way to determine if you currently have the necessary skills is to search for other freelancers with your skill set and open jobs. Look at the job titles, descriptions, etc. to determine if your skill set is where it needs to be. You can filter for entry and intermediate level jobs, since you're new to Upwork with minimal experience as well. There's tos of specific jobs within the data analytics and machine learning niches. For data analytics, the example from this video is becoming a data analyst. However, there's also data engineer, etl developer, business analyst, etc. Most are in high demand so it comes down to whatever you enjoy the most.
@@JoshBurnsTech oke josh may i break down and mention it one by one, first "search for other freelancers with your skill set" , you means i search other freelancer with same skillset as "benchmark" to be my example or what is the purpose?
and then yesterday i always filter job only for entry level due my minus exp, but i always search by keyword like "python pandas", "junior data analyst", or etc maybe i forget sorry because i think i use keyword to be more more specific, because yes there are thousands jobs about machine learning and data analytics but most of them want for experienced.
i think for the enjoy..may be i want to start at "tiny" job first, "starts small" it short like data analyst or business inteligence maybe, so i think you gonna recommend me to start by SQL and power BI,
I personally everyday untill now always hands-on Python with Jupyter Notebook
and sorry maybe do you have any idea about the niches?
sorry if i've just got to reply your message
I,m new subscriber and Aprectiate your vedio..i,m badly fail to get project on upwork..my skil is MATLAB..PLS suggest me what to do?
Hey! Have you put a lot of time into fully optimizing your profile? Do you use tools like Grammarly? If English isn't your primary language, then it can be really helpful to ensure that you do not have grammatical errors in your profile, cover letters, etc.
@@JoshBurnsTech ok...thanks
I want to learn data science but no enough money help with data science roadmap for self study.
Hey Danish!😀 My recommendation would be to find as much free data science content as possible (there's TONS of it), while you save money for paid courses. For example, you can checking the first chapters of data science courses on DataCamp by signing up with the link in my video description.
I can help you find the right path to learning Data science for free brother.
@@sualehalam4259 how, what to do?

hello Josh
Hi Josh,
I have been on upwork For more than 4 years now and i am still not able to get a job there!!!!
I got scammed so many times!!
Any advise please 🙏 thanks
Hey! You must be doing something wrong if you've been scammed that many times. I've personally never been scammed on the platform. Give me an example of how someone scammed you.
Why do you enjoy doing things with databases?
Always enjoyed working with SQL, leaning about it, and simply just love the tech.
What is the best way to take out your earned money? Like paypal or?
Great question! That depends on your location. For the US, the best option is direct deposit to a bank account. Other locations it’s often PayPal. Honestly, whatever has the lowest fees is what I would personally choose.
@@JoshBurnsTech thanks for the answer. yes im focusing on lowest fees but i had only paypal option for country i live and paypal converts money without asking, where i lost some money too. whatever i hope i will find best way to take money that i have earned
@@idontknowWhatTosay8 Gotcha! Yeah sounds like Paypal is your best option at the moment.
@@JoshBurnsTech and one more question josh. im confused a bit abou upwork fee. like as we know its is 20% below 500usd earnings and i have a question, if i will work on project and i will earn an example 1$k + but with milestones below 500$, like 150, 250 and so on, will it cut me for 20% or 10%? what is a best way to submit proposals on jobs that i can control whenever i will be cuted less? hope you understand my problem
@@JoshBurnsTech question is , what type of payment should i focus on to have LESS fees. ?
Does AWS DevOps rank well?
For sure! I haven't done much research on DevOps, but I do know that it's a great skill to have. Do you know how to lookup high earning freelancers on Upwork?
"Your profile was discovered 0 times last week. (-100% from the previous week)"
What we can do?
The best way to get discovered or recommended to clients is to earn 5 star reviews with great feedback. Also make sure that you’re profile is optimized for the jobs you’re trying to get. My profile is fully SEO optimized for SQL Server DBA.
@@JoshBurnsTech Thank You so much ❤. I am watching your all tutorials
You’re very welcome!

How about video editing ⁉️‼️
Video editing was in my previous video and is a great freelance skill to have! 😀
@@JoshBurnsTech i ve been trying but not seem to be getting much hold of it no jobs on upwork ill start my college this year too !
@@mishalchowdhury5610 Do you have great examples of your editing? If not, that's where you need to start. Edit some videos and build a portfolio, even if you're editing videos just for yourself.

How many hours do you work on your freelancing projects per day?
Usually anywhere from 5-8 hours. However, I spend a ton of time creating content as well, so I work a lot of hours. 😂
Where to learn python
DataCamp is a great place to start! bit.ly/2WNSeAN
Hi Josh, how long have you been working as Upwork freelancer? I am very impressed with the amount of money ($700K) that you have earned over the years. Thank you for the video. It's very encouraging!
Hey! I started freelancing on upwork in May of 2016.
No one accept me to work on their project.
SAD
Rather than complaining and letting negative thoughts into your mind, try focusing on what you can do to improve. Negativity and complaining will always hold you back from growing. If no one is hiring you, then you need to get to work. Figure out what you can do better and make improvements rather than complaining.

Who will win Tensorflow with Python vs Tensorflow with JavaScript.
Edit: I already have a good grip on JavaScript!!
Honestly, out those I've only worked with Python. I did very minimal (begginer) JavaScript in college. LOL
Go For Custom coding. Best wishes from IT Hub, India
Just learn python, its way more convinient
@@abc.2924 I'm literally so confused. JavaScript could almost do everything in tech. Like websites, front end and back end, web apps, mobile apps, desktop apps, and even ai web apps. It's so versatile, I have seriously no reason to jump onto any new language instead mastering JavaScript and its framework would be a clever pick. What do you think?
@@connornuggets5450 Python is by far the best for AI. You can implement a model in JS, but its way more convinient to train a model, process data etc. Using python. Its up to you, but python has way more options
It's so hard to get jobs on upwork.😔
It’s really difficult to get started, but gets way easier when you get some 5-star review. What’s your freelance skill set in?
@@JoshBurnsTech I'm web developer and I also write blogs.
I did get a gig once, got 5 star rating, but getting more jobs seems impossible. I've had to pause for a minute coz I was getting frustrated
It’s not impossible. We all start with 0 jobs, 0 reviews, and struggle to get the next job. The freelancers who are resilient and constantly work to improve are the ones who break through.
@@JoshBurnsTech thank you for the encouragement Josh. I'll definitely keep on trying

Hello Josh , Firstly Thank you for including my own genre Mobile App Development. I am a hybrid app developer since 3+ years in React Native.
Your yesterday post said you will help read and help in each and every comment today.
i am putting my cover letter in this comment's first reply. i almost sent out 30 proposals till date i joined Upwork few days back. none of the client even interviewed me. I quitted my job to seek a hourly job which pays in DOLLARS ! hope you know how it's working in third world country are...
Lastly even if you don't reply or notice this Love from India 🇮🇳❤️. Your videos helped alot in initial setup of my profile which i think is really optimized after your videos.
Hey, Kashyap! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment! Have you watched my videos on writing cover letters? The specific layout 😀that I show in the video is exactly what I use when submitting job proposals. Are you giving direct examples of your work that realtes to the job you're bidding on? You're very welcome!
@@JoshBurnsTech
One Last Quick Tip Josh ,
Is it worth it ?
I quit my job (Only Source of Income) in August 2021,
Even if i land a 10-12$/hour job on upwork , i still make double than the job i quit in India.
I have friends in US , who thinks my current expertise easily pays 40-45$/hour in US.
I have not landed a real job on upwork yet But after 25 proposals(10-15$ range) people have started to interview me. But clients who are interviewing me are just aren’t clear of their own requirements. I am Fearfull to lose rating and credibility. And it seems the person who is clear about tech knowledge is hiring Top Rated !!! What should i do ?
Lastly i can say , i have only 2 months(sept-oct) Income backup before i need to start doing shitty payroll jobs again. As i am a married person and need to look after the income source. which is 0 since i joined Upwork.
Thanks Josh & I appreciate deeply for what you are doing for others. 👨💻❤️
