Most people think clients are ONLY hiring for skills. But if you’ve ever been on the other side of the screen (as a client), you know that’s not true. When clients post a job, they’re usually juggling: - 🚀 Speed → “Can this person get the job done without me babysitting them?” - 🔒 Trust → “Will they actually follow through and not disappear mid-project?” - 💡 Clarity → “Do they get what I need without me writing a 10-page manual?” - 🗣️ Communication → “Can they keep me updated so I don’t stress out?” - 🎯 Results → “Do they understand the outcome I’m paying for, not just the task?” Think about it this way:Hiring on Upwork is a risk management game for the client. They’re not just asking: “Who’s the most skilled?” They’re asking:“Who feels like the safest bet?” That’s why someone with less experience but stronger positioning/communication can beat out a more skilled freelancer or agency.

I'm curious to see what stage you all are in of your Upwork Journey. How much have you earned so far?

Hello I hope all is well. Does anyone have any tips/ reference to making a professional profile on Upwork? I am beginner and just starting out

One of the biggest mistakes I see new freelancers make is setting their hourly rate too high without any experience or work history on Upwork. This is a mistake because when you price yourself really high you automatically eliminate yourself for tons of projects in the eyes of the clients. What I recommend instead: Set your hourly rate lower to begin with, when you get on a meeting with a client pitch them a fixed rate instead of hourly. This way you don’t even have to use the lower rate (more info on this in my paid community) Once you have earned some money on Upwork, have good reviews, and history you can bump up your hourly rate.
