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
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?
@@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€
@@noahgeerdink5144 Wow I have done graphic design unpro for a long time. Could I get in touch perhaps? Currently working 60 hrs a week for 1200$ lmfao
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!
Good clarity and very productive suggestions.
Covering important points
Eager to look forward for more Thanks.
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 CZcams. Can you make a video for someone who wants to start a new agency ?
This is hands down the best video I've seen on Upwork. Thank you! You are truly knowledgeable on this subject.
Thanks, the info is directly from in-the-trenches.
Did this work for you? Is that why it’s the best?
This is some great advice. Thanks so much man.
Thank you sir. I signed up on up work just today and would like to watch more of your videos to build a strong profile
Thanks for the first hand advice, subs!!

Спасибо, Александр!
Отличный канал!
Great advice thanks
Thank you for valuable video)
thanks
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.
Fantastic Video @Aleksander I
Mike lee thanks man, check out the Upwork playlist, this is just the tip of the iceberg
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.
Mike try 15 proposals sent per DAY for 30 days.. :) The rest doesn't really matter right now.
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
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.
Payment is tricky, pm me on facebook if you want to know.
@@AleksanderVitkin Thank you for your timely reply, sir! I will definitely message you right now!
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 have been on UpWork up to a week and have upgraded my profile, but I have not received any offer yet.
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.
Cover letter for Interior Designer please. I had the first job and Rising talent badge, but nothing after... :(

I've struggling getting any work on the website.
Can you please link your Upwork profile.
Does contributing to the Upwork community benefit my profile?
Hey man, would you be willing to take me on as a student please?
i have been working as a freelancer on upwork since 2 or 3 years..... but still i did not get the job
why ? since three yrs with out job with out earned money its really difficult
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?
any cover letter templates tips... i have done 23 jobs on upwork.. but i am getting very less response now.. have 100% JSS niche graphic design ?
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.
@@AleksanderVitkin Thank you... can you give me the link of your video where you share the templates.. i didn't seems to find it..
DEADSHOT.2K czcams.com/video/OBhvVEXAHLc/video.html
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
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.
Hello i really need help on understanding this like a more practical explanation
Watch the next video in the upwork playlist.
@@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
How can I build Autorithy when I do not have any proof and I do not want to lie?
Does your team have proof and authority?
@@AleksanderVitkin Nope. I do not have a team.
I have never worked as a freelancer before.
Hey Aleksander i am the new subscriber of your channel. I found that your content is very specific and highly approoriate to tackle the issues i am going to face with. I am a digital marketer i have worked in many projects in my previous company. Now i am starting my own so i desperetly need my first client in upwork inorder to kick start my journey as freelancer. Please consider my case & create a higly relevent content with actual bidding study so that i can get some introspective view about it. You got my email id as i subsribed to your chaneel please contact me if i missed any "bits & pices" which may turn indespencible inorder to fetch my first client in upwork.
Thank you.
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.
