Dominate Upwork - Tips, Hacks and Strategies to Increase Your Monthly Income On The World’s Biggest Freelancing Platform

By James Oliver

Do you want to make more money on Upwork?

The world's biggest freelancing platform is full of opportunity to make $1,000s each month in a huge variety of fields...

So why do most Upworkers not make any money? Because they do it all wrong.

I know this because I used to be one of them.

My profile was full of mistakes, I would bid on 30 jobs and win none of them, and I never received a single job invite in my first 2 years on the site.

Fast forward to now. I've bid and won countless jobs and have enough repeat business and private job invites where I rarely have to apply to public jobs anymore.

In this guide, I lay out the steps that I took to go from making $54 a month to making enough money to quit my corporate job and live full time off my Upwork earnings.

Unlike other books which are full of outdated advice and still refer to Upwork as oDesk and eLance, this book is fully updated for 2018.

You'll learn:

• How to get 50-100x more profile views than the average Upwork freelancer


• How to write job proposals that get you chosen ahead of 50 other candidates


• How to spot bad clients and avoid wasting your time bidding on their jobs


• The hidden advantage of being "Top Rated" that Upwork doesn't tell you about


• How I turned a $220 job into $9,000 worth of recurring work

If you want to uncover a smarter and more efficient way to become a highly paid Upwork freelancer, then this is the book for you.

Introduction to Freelancing

Freelancing is one of the easiest online businesses to break into. Unlike dropshipping, affiliate marketing or any other online work, you can make money from day 1 without spending a single penny on inventory or months building up an email list.

Upwork is currently the biggest online freelancing marketplace in the world. Every day over 10,000 jobs are posted on the site. Those jobs collectively pay millions to those who win the contracts.

But with over 12 million freelancers signed up, competition is fierce. That’s why I’m going to show you the competitive edges you need to win these jobs, increase your hourly rates and make a full-time living freelancing on Upwork.

I’ve been on Upwork for over 4 years (back when it was eLance and oDesk) as both a client and a freelancer. I’ve bid and won countless jobs and have enough repeat business and private job invites where I rarely have to apply to public jobs any more.

But don’t worry - I started out just like you.

My profile was full of mistakes, I would bid on 30 jobs and win none of them, and I never received a single job invite in my first 2 years on the site.

In this book I am going to lay out the steps that I took to go from making $54 a month to making enough money to quit my corporate job and live full time off my Upwork earnings. If you apply them, you will make more money.
