15 Upwork tips that will teach you more than the best Upwork course there is...

1. Social proof is your golden ticket to getting clients and making money - get those 5-star written reviews.

2. Short and to-the-point cover letters perform better than long and detailed cover letters (from experience).

3. An applicant with 100% JSS gets FAR more replies than those with 70%, 80%, and even 90%.

4. How many clients you get is directly proportional to the number of proposals you send out.

5. If you're new to Upwork - at the end of your cover letter, say:

"PS: If you're not happy with my work, I'll give you a full refund right away."

6. Set your hourly rate to at least $15 p/h - regardless of your niche or skill.

7. Never try to compete on price - there's always someone willing to do the work for less.

Come from a place of value and charge whatever you want.

8. NEVER EVER EVER work with cheap clients - especially on Upwork.

You're putting everything on the line for nothing.

9. Applying for projects first (top 5 applicant first) gives you the best chance of getting a reply and closing the client.

10. Clients that want to jump on a call for simple projects are a waste of time.

They don't value speed.

11. NEVER say anything to a client that might make them resent you.

That's your golden ticket to poor feedback

12. Don't bother applying for projects with "Payment method unverified".

13. Build your Upwork profile around ONE skill.

14. Don't apply to projects where the client doesn't give written feedback to freelancers, has a review score of less than 4.5, or has an average hourly rate of under $15.

15. Trust your instinct. If a client seems off - don't work with them.

There's this class of Nigerians that will never pay for information.

This is not because they don't have money, it's because of their mindset.

It is the reason why most successful people always hammer on the mindset..

It's not an "acquire to prespire and Maguire" BS...

Always ask yourself where has being too careful taken you to in the past 3 years??

Nobody is asking you to be foolish,but always do your own research ask the right questions and pay for knowledge if you must for a faster result.

At least find someone successful with a believable story and social prove.

One day I would do a thread on how to identify Ponzi schemes and legitimate means of earning online and things to check before paying for any course/programme.

I started paying over $100 to better my skills on the internet space and I never regretted that decision..

Guess what??


I still pay for access, information and courses where i wish to improve.

Life is hard, choose your Hard wisely.

Thanks for this, knowledge is power.

One of the biggest gift I had after my NYSC was to having an open mindset. It really speed my progress.


Infact, I still invest in course. My previous course was $997.

But I've made 20x that investment. And still counting.

Knowledge is power.


Thanks again.

Tips on Upwork

1. Don't charge peanut in your hourly rate
2. Get 5-star written feedback
3. Learn from someone ahead of you
4. Optimize your profile around one skill
5. Focus on getting 100% JSS & Top-Rated
6. Deliver exceptional work before the deadline
7. Apply for at least 5 recently posted projects daily

Just like in the real world - Upwork is 95% broke clients trying to scape by and then the other 5% are actual killers paying stupid amounts of money to the top 1-3% of freelancers on the platform.

The greats work with the greats.

And the poor...

Well, you already know.

Look at the hourly rate in the screenshot below:

This is the levels I'm talking about.

And guess what, no freelancer with 59% JSS is getting that.

Only those with GREAT profiles will be considered because it's the big leagues.

GoodIsGod:

Why most can't give the details of their success without DM baffles me.

The Dm is the only place they can confidently cajole and decieve you without objection, they don't have your best interest at heart they're only interested in Thier pocket.

I don't blame them though. Scammers are too much online. Paying someone online is a risk, but some risks are worth taking.

Galacious1:

I understand sir, but in my humble opinion those that usually fall for Scam are those that don't want to do the actual work but want to enjoy the success and that's what these scammers promise them.

Take KDP for example now, it's one of the most passive sweetest source of income I know, but you still have to do a one time work which includes research majorly before you publish your book.

The thing is, such people will want to dodge the research and publush rubbish and be expecting to make money.

I like that you are proactive in stopping any form of scam but at the same time don't make people who are willing to at least try it out back off, it's better you advise them on the scam pointers when they get to the DM.

Some people can choose to give their knowledge for Free (which in most cases, people don't value) and some can choose to attach a token to it..

There are a lot of free tutorials on YouTube, but 90% of people seeking knowledge never seem to work with it or they're usually overwhelming, but the truth is most of those Free stuff still have premium memberships that are paid for even if the creators still rake in millions from other sources.

Watching YouTube is free, accessing Premium YouTube is Paid even though YouTube still make money from advertisers.

Bottom line is...

There's always room to make more money

Another enrollment.


If you're too careful in life, you'll eventually fall for ponzi like Ovaioza scheme.

People wasted millions on shabby imiginary scheme while doing nothing and expecting 10% interest.

I laugh.

This is why Nigerians are different from Americans and Europeans.

We love quick money alot here.

But for freelancing it's totally different.

I give my students money back guarantee because this is what I do. Not how they do it.


I'm holding them by the hands.

Showing my real strategy.

Because they're Copy cubs.

And in 60 - 90 days?

They surely coming back here to testify.

My strategy can't be seen on YouTube or Google.

May your wisdom never dry brother.

YouTube videos from experts always have premium content or paid class at the end. I've paid for alot of them in my Niche.

Free things have $0 value.
