Hey All, Big announcement today… If you're pulling money out of Upwork into a non-US bank account, I have a way to save you thousands of dollars in conversion fees. Upwork has always had one major issue… if you're not based in the US, every payout gets hit with a currency conversion fee on the way into your bank account. This happens to every single withdrawal you make. And as you can imagine, it stacks up pretty quickly. You're essentially handing back your hard earned money for no reason. I've been looking for a fix for this for a while, and I finally found one and couldn’t be more excited to partner up with them. Their name is Avior, here’s how they work: Avior gives you local bank account details in USD, EUR, GBP, and more, so you can get paid like a local no matter where you actually live. Instead of routing your Upwork payout through a currency conversion, you're pulling it into an account that's already in the right currency. Behind the scenes it runs on stablecoins, which is what lets you move money globally in seconds without the usual bank fees and delays. And you're not locked into anyone's custody, your balance sits in a self-custodial wallet that you control. On top of that, it has an AI CFO built in that handles your invoicing, basic accounting, and tax admin automatically, which is a huge bonus. If you're already earning solid money on Upwork (which, if you're in this community, you probably are, or you’re working towards it), this is worth a few minutes of your time to sign up for. https://useavior.com/nico Talk soon, Nico

Design Static Ad Creatives You’ll create image ads for Facebook and Instagram using product photos, customer reviews, screenshots, UGC-style images, hooks, headlines, and offers.

Edit Existing Assets You’ll take raw assets from clients and turn them into polished ad creatives.This can include adding text overlays, cleaning up product images, improving layouts, removing backgrounds, adding testimonials, and making the creative look more premium. 3.) Create Creative Variations You’ll create multiple versions of the same creative so we can test different hooks, headlines, layouts, angles, and offers. You need to understand that Facebook ads are all about testing, so we don’t just need nice design, we need variations that can help us find winning creatives. 4.) Follow Brand Guidelines You’ll work with each client’s fonts, colors, branding, and style so every creative feels consistent with their brand.
