Hi there! I just wanted to say that the video you shared was really helpful. Unfortunately, as a freelancer who is just starting out, I don't have the funds to purchase connects. I've noticed that even though some clients view my proposals, they don't seem to be too impressed by my portfolio. I learned this from watching your video, which was very informative. I've since managed to build up my portfolio, but I'm running out of connects

Get a job and then you’ll have capital for connects.

Hi Thomas! I'm starting my journey at Upwork right now. Been binge-watching your content since this morning. Curious, how much have you spent on connects? Do you have any suggestions how much budget should we prepare when starting out?
@ThomasIm4 ай бұрын
I've probably spent thousands But the budget depends on what you can afford. Also the cost of applying to jobs is different now from when I first started

Hi Thomas, there is a thing that's been holding me back from fully diving into Upwork is the hourly tracking system. I've heard it takes screenshots, which is great for individual work, but it poses challenges when collaborating with a team. How do you handle this aspect when working with a team? I'm in a similar boat, managing a team and occasionally making enhancements to their work. But with multiple people working on multiple projects simultaneously, the hourly tracking system seems impractical.

How do I identify the mistakes I'm making because, in my opinion, I've got a decent profile with a good portfolio. I'm not making any mistakes that you've mentioned. I've been on upwork for 2 months now but haven't landed a job yet. My proposals get viewed but there is no action after that.

I was trying to portray that in order to get jobs on upwork, you need to understand all the reasons why you aren't getting hired. And this was probably reasons 1, 2, and 3 out of 100.
