After 100+ Upwork conversations, I’ve learned something: Clients want more than just Apex skills or a long list of certifications. What they really care about is whether you can… ✅ Make it simple – Translate tech into plain English. Cut clicks, not corners. ✅ Ask smart questions – Understand the why before jumping to the how. Anticipate roadblocks before they happen. ✅ Build work that sticks – Design for scale, document everything, and make sure it runs smoothly long after you’re gone. The tech skills get you in the door. The impact you leave is what keeps it open. What’s one thing you look for when hiring a freelancer? 👇 #CRM #Freelancing #ClientNeeds #Salesforce #HubSpot #FreelanceLife #Consulting #TechSimplified #BusinessGrowth #CustomerSuccess #FreelancerTips #Upwork #RevOps #Automation #DigitalTransformation #Productivity #WorkSmart #ClientSuccess #ScaleWithEase #ProjectManagement

🚀 New to Freelancing? Create a Powerful Upwork Profile (Step-by-Step) Let’s talk about one section that many ignore — “Languages”! Your Upwork profile is your first impression. Every detail matters. Here’s how you can optimize your profile, especially if you're just starting out: --- ✅ 1. Start with a Clear Title > Example: 💼 Data Entry Specialist | Lead Generation | Web Research | Virtual Assistant --- ✅ 2. Write a Strong Overview Use this formula: Who you are + What you offer + How you add value > “I’m a detail-oriented Data Entry and Lead Generation Specialist with 2+ years of experience helping clients grow their outreach through accurate, verified leads and clean databases...” --- ✅ 3. Add Relevant Skills Pick skills related to your niche like: ✔ Data Entry ✔ Lead Generation ✔ Web Scraping ✔ B2B Lead Research ✔ Excel, Google Sheets ✔ LinkedIn Research --- ✅ 4. Add Your Experience (Even Small Projects!) If you're new, include freelancing you've done outside of Upwork or sample projects. --- ✅ 5. Set the Right Availability Choose: ⏱ More than 30 hrs/week – if you’re available full-time 🕓 Less than 30 hrs/week – for part-time 📩 As Needed – open to offers --- ✅ 6. Set Up the “Languages” Section Carefully Many freelancers skip this — but clients search by language too! 👉 Select languages you speak, like: English — Fluent / Native 📌 Tip: Be honest about your fluency. Don’t claim “Native” unless you’re 100% fluent in business writing and speaking. --- 💡 Bonus Tips: Upload a professional photo with a clean background Use a strong Project Catalog or Portfolio Set your hourly rate according to your skill and experience (Start with $5–$10/hr if you’re a beginner) --- 💬 Ready to create your profile?

Struggling to Get Clients on Upwork? Let’s see the real reason behind it. Most people think they are not getting hired because of high competition, low reviews, or pricing. But the real problem is their approach. Almost every proposal starts the same way: “I’m an expert.” “I can do this perfectly.” “I’ve done similar projects.” The truth? Clients have seen that line a thousand times. They don’t want another service provider, they want who understands their problem. Here’s what actually gets attention (and replies): - Start with the client’s pain, not your skills - Show what’s broken and how you’ll fix it - End with confidence, not desperation You don’t win projects by listing skills. You win by showing clarity and a deep understanding of the client’s problem.

Most “agencies” are just glorified Upwork accounts. One expert founder. Then a back office full of freelancers doing the actual work. Usually with zero context, zero commitment, and zero accountability. And if you’re not careful, that structure can cost your brand tens of thousands in wasted time, poor execution, and missed growth. When I started TVG with Canon Roeder and Zach Fruehe we knew we had to do it differently. We didn’t want to build a service business. We wanted to build a team of workhorses. Strategists. Operators. Marketers who own outcomes, end to end. Not just media buyers pushing buttons. Not just designers cranking out assets. A real, integrated growth partner who treats your brand like it’s our own. That’s why at TVG: → My partners and I are directly involved in every account we sign → Our internal team is full-time, battle-tested, and cross-functional → Client retention is our #1 success metric, not short-term revenue Because here’s the truth: → A freelancer can run your ads. → A designer can build your emails. → A developer can launch your landing page. But if none of them are aligned under a unified growth system… You’re not scaling. You’re spinning your wheels. That’s what we’ve fixed. And that’s why the brands we work with stay. #founder #ecommerce #marketing

Fiverr Ads CPC increased from $3 to $6! Earlier, Fiverr Ads charged a maximum of $3 per click. Now, they’ve raised it to $6! How does that sound? It might seem like a lot, but actually, it’s a big opportunity. Why? ↳ Your ads can now bid higher. ↳ Meaning? Your gig will reach way more people. ↳ And more visibility means more chances of getting orders. I understand many think: “Will I really profit if I spend that much?” “My budget is limited, how can I afford more?” I say, this is not just an expense — it’s an investment. If you spend smartly, this money can bring you 2-3 times return. And if you feel the budget might be high, don’t worry, ↳ You can set your own CPC limit from your Ads dashboard. ↳ In other words, you control how much you want to spend. How to do it? ↳ Log in to Fiverr and open your Ads Dashboard. ↳ Select the gig you’re running ads for. ↳ Go to CPC settings and set your budget limit accordingly. ↳ Save and start running your ads. One more thing—spending money alone won’t guarantee results, ↳ You must keep your gig quality high, ↳ Communicate regularly with clients, ↳ And add extra services when needed. Summary: CPC is going up, but that’s nothing to fear. Smart budget + good gig + excellent client service = guaranteed success.

If you’re serious about landing 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗯𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗨𝗦𝗗, here are 5 platforms most people overlook 👇 Forget Upwork, Fiverr, and Freelancer.com. They’re overcrowded, underpriced, and extremely competitive.  𝟭. Turing (turing.com) Turing connects vetted engineers to long-term remote roles with top US companies. I’ve personally worked at Turing, so I can vouch for the quality of roles and pay. 𝟮. Mercor (mercor.com) Mercor uses AI-driven screening to match high-skill talent with remote roles across engineering, research, and operations. Fewer applicants, higher signal. 𝟯. micro1 (micro1.ai) micro1 places senior engineers into well-paying remote roles with US startups and enterprises. Strong focus on quality over volume. 𝟰. 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿.𝗮𝗶 (outlier.ai) Outlier hires professionals for AI training, evaluation, and research-related work. Great for technical roles beyond traditional software engineering. 𝟱. Contra (contra.com) A fast-growing platform for independent professionals that skips bidding wars entirely. Clean profiles, direct hiring, and solid USD-paying clients. Once you find the right role, the next challenge is standing out. That’s why I’m building 𝗙𝘆𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗹𝘆. an AI tool that tailors your resume to each job in minutes so recruiters actually notice you. You can sign up here ➡️: www.fyrstly.io If this helped, save it or♻️share it with someone job hunting. I’ll keep sharing what works as I build in public.

🚫 𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐔𝐩𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓! 🔒 If you’re a freelancer or agency working on Upwork, one mistake can get your #account_uspended 😰 Here are #5_golden_rules to keep your account safe and active in 2025 👇 🔁 𝟏. 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 If your team is bidding and you're replying from mobile at the same time, or you're using the time tracker while someone else logs in, Upwork will detect it and flag your account 🚨 📵 𝟐. 𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭 No emails, phone numbers, links (even in CVs or proposals) before the contract starts — it’s against Upwork’s Terms and can get you suspended ❌ ⏱ 𝟑. 𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝟏𝟎𝟎% 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 Logging only manual hours raises suspicion 🤔 — Upwork may assume you're outsourcing the work or not actively involved yourself. Use the tracker for at least part of your work to show you're genuinely working on the project and maintaining transparency ✅ 💸 𝟒. 𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 (𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 $𝟐𝐊+) Upwork may think it’s suspicious activity or off-platform payment. Keep bonuses reasonable and project-aligned 💡 🔗 𝟓. 𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐔𝐩𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 It’s tempting, but risky. If you must exchange contact info, do it smartly — maybe during a Zoom call, only if the client initiates. Otherwise, it could backfire and result in a report 🙅‍♂️ ✨ 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 — 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭! 💬 Which rules do you follow to keep your Upwork account safe? 👇 Drop your own safety tips in the comments — I’d love to learn from you too! . > . . >> > .. .. #FreelancingTips #UpworkTips #Freelancers2025 #UpworkSafety #RemoteWork #AgencyLife #ClientCommunication #BiddingTips #LinkedInTips
