Just wanted to say thank you to every for joining this community! Feels like it was only a few weeks ago I was excited to see more than 10. Welcome to all the recent members and thanks to the regulars who have been dropping likes, comments and questions. Plenty more workflows, AI, and builds to come, including things that can't be on YouTube. But keep the feedback coming. It's still early days so let me know how to improve this community. Drop a comment below if you have any ideas or message me directly. Looking forward to 400 more! 🎉

I'm sure some of you are here to make money off of selling automations and I'm brushing up on that skill myself to be honest. My background is the corporate world so I'm still learning the selling side of things. With that, I'm new to the Upwork game as well but I had a recent win. Last week I finally committed to sending Upwork proposals and got lucky right out of the gate. I replied to a post looking for help with Monday.com and I submitted a low-ball offer to help. I saw a post from another community that highlighted being "Top Rated" seemed to increase view rates so I figured I would prioritize getting 5 stars over landing big paychecks. But after jumping on a call with the Upwork contact and helping him out, he pretty quickly mentioned that he had many other automations he'd like to build. So I took the opportunity to use the advice I'd gotten in another community and pitched an upsell. Turn $35/hr into a $500 monthly retainer. I'll take that as a win. Plus the guy seems super cool to work with. Here's the Loom I included in offer if it's at all helpful: https://www.loom.com/share/e0ae9b3b409c46d4a9fd338aefdb1189 Couple caveats here. I am heavily relying on a long work history and being able to flex professional CRM experience, but I think overall the strategy is viable. Be willing to start low and work your way up. Include a Loom to show you're a friendly human. Quote from Mark Cuban that's stuck with me: “One of the most underrated skills in business is being nice.” Small n8n offers and being nice can lead to big contracts if that's your goal. Happy to answer any questions but just wanted to post a win and pass on some help and inspiration. Best of luck learning and selling automations! Keep at it!
