Wow. So finally I got this one video which is really would be a great help in my freelancing career. I'm even not a web developer but this one really helped me a lot. After hours of browsing through the net thank God. Thanks to you!
Thanks for the video. Most clients ask freelancers with Graphics, Server, SEO, UI skills all in one! Most clients just post job and do not hire any one! All efforts just go to vein!
Funny I came across this video. I was just talking to my designer last week who specializes in a very specific app platform. Its kind of obscure, but I think part of the reason he does so well and can command more money per hour is because he specializes in this 1 specific aspect. He will tell you (if asked) he knows how to do other things, but he doesn't' clutter up his profile, nor claim to be an expert at anything else. I think its a big mistake for these people that post they know how to do this-that-the-other thing and it dilutes there overall value. Your plummer analogy is exactly spot on.
John, this is an awesome channel, and I appreciate the work you're putting in here by sharing your knowledge and giving good production value. Videos like yours prove that the internet isn't just for porn. It's for people learning how to make porn, and the developers who keep it all running.
Hi John Morris, I just became a member of UpWork as a college student with no official(work) experience. How do I write a professional proposal as a junior full-stack developer? And build trust.... btw... GREAT VIDEOS!
Hi, you have really good videos. I am extreamly new to this. How can a Data Entry Specialist / Customer Service or Virtual Assistant become successful on Upwork? As a first time person how much you think I should charge?
So basically what is required is to be honest and fair: - We should have a good portfolio (I am actually thinking of making a few webpages for my friends, for free, to get started); - I should make some tests on the site so that i can back up the fact that i actually know what i am talking about; - I should mention why i am not that high ranked, as i have just started up; BTW, i have a question, i am not really into building stuff, rather making webpages, front-end and back-end. I fell in love mostly with Bootstrap, jQuery, also material design standards and python-Django for back-end. Do i have a chance at getting some work as a freelancer?
indeed they do! thus i was not asking for any kind of support within any platform! it would not be fair on my part especially as you have shared valuable knowledge. i was asking if on my behalf i have a chance of getting any work, as far as your knowledge goe
udemy, various youtube videos. Also, he mentioned he does courses. I learned wordpress from Udemy, but if you want the info message me. Don't want to post links are this person's youtube because it is not fair. Also, I would just check out John's site.
hello i was searching for the work from many days in the upwork website i already give them 60 proposal but nobody reply me how to get the work and earn the money from here reply me
It takes time, worst thing is to give up. Also, have you done mock ups or have you tried asking friends family or local businesses that you can develop websites for free or at for cheap? Just need two. Also, the mock up technique worked for me. A woman wasn't sure about me, but needed the job done. I created a mockup and she hired me.
Look for jobs that you can do or specialize in that has been posted early. Offer them in the proposal what they are looking for. If you don't have any work or examples to show whip up a mock up. Even if you do a mock up and they still don't hire you, at least you now how work to show to go in your profile. Also, look outside of upwork, build something for a friend, family, local business, or look at startup groups or entrepreneurs on facebook, twitter, linkden, meetups that are starting out and offer them your services to them.
Hi John, if you get the chance to view this mssge, I have client that his project is to print ck and mail them, just wondering is this legit. I'm not sure about this job request. I had received fake cks in the mail. How could I verified or go about to verify this is a true company. Is this valid? tks
