It's everyone's favorite holiday--US Tax Day! For my biggest business expense? I was about to put "ads," but then I remembered it's not an expense...because they pay for themselves. Second biggest? I think it's a tie between BerserkerMail and Manus. Again, are these really "expenses" if I can't run my business without them? 🤔 Literally can't send emails without BerserkerMail...and Manus does so many things I can't even list them all. Look at this one-page website it built to help me study tourist Japanese for our trip in May: Learn Japanese with Nick-sama What's that one big biz expense you just can't quit?

I had a ton of fun running the penny auction last month (592 comments) and last comment wins contest in December (301 comments). Should we do more of those? This is, as you may be aware, a GROUP. And while my vote counts as 1 million votes, I still value your input. Have you seen any cool contest in other groups you belong to? If we did run a contest, what kind of prize should we offer?

This is not for folks trying to get their first client, or even second client. This is for folks who've already hit $5k per month in client revenue, are at capacity, and want to scale to $10k, $20k, or more per month. This is also not for people who want to "retire" from clients, like me. However, if this thing existed a couple years ago, there's a good chance I would have used it. The creator of this system went from $5k per month to $40k per month on Upwork. (I would have said this at the start, but I don't think you would have believed me). The guy who made this wants my help turning his system into a real, living, breathing offer for other people to use. But making offers is hard. I don't want to invest the energy unless there's huge demand. Keep reading and tell me if this sounds hot to you. It works by removing the biggest bottlenecks for finding clients: Finding jobs and bidding on jobs. Meaning... You never have to search for jobs again. You never have to read job posts again. You never have to write proposals again. And perhaps most interesting of all, in this guy's "in house" version of the offer, he doesn't even have to REPLY to clients. The AI does it too. Yes, it involves AI. I rolled my eyes when he told me his AI writes proposals that "sound human." Then he showed me. This guy literally gets messages from clients COMPLIMENTING HIS AI PROPOSALS FOR NOT BEING AI PROPOSALS. lol But seriously, they're good. I use AI a lot and notice some of the "tells" but honestly they're better than 95% of the proposals I get, so why does it matter? If you're drooling over the possibility of just...WORKING with clients and not FINDING clients, let me know by voting here or dropping a comment below. If and ONLY IF there's enough demand, I will personally "test drive" this offer and UN-RETIRE from Upwork (temporarily) to make sure this works. Speak now or forever hold your peace.
