There are so many Upwork illustration tips videos when I searched the topic, but I'm glad I chose this one to watch first.

It covered a lot in so little time. I really appreciate it when the youtuber explains everything by doing it. And that being done through someone in a similar stage of freelancing to us really helps a big deal. Thank you

Thank you! I applied a while back on Upwork to a few jobs. Got discouraged and did not apply to any more. Now, I’m feeling more confident. I appreciate you making this video.

Such a pleasure to join you, one of my favorite art YouTubers, in a video ❤️❤️❤️ this was such useful advice! Thank you so much for the opportunity 💖

I can draw, paint, create all these things..but I don’t know how to make it ‘client ready’ how do I learn how to send things formally, how to digitally prepare it, save it etc etc and if done on paper how to send it, do you scan it or not etc.. How to write formal emails, if the client says I pay $40 (but you find it too low) how do you answer that in a formal way…
Sorry a lot of questions, maybe stupid questions for some but I really need help with this. Where can I get this help or how to learn these things?… Thank you so much 🙏🏻😊

I know this is so outta topic, but you are just so beautiful I couldn't even concentrate on what you were saying😩

As a fellow illustrator and Youtuber, this was a lot of fun to watch! I'm not overly familiar with Upwork, but I will give it a shot thanks to your useful tips! Thanks to both of you.

Hello dear, I'm just going to be very honest, I'm just starting out with illustration and I'm still building on my drawings tho.

So my question is, how do I build a portfolio? because I've not worked for anyone yet, and I'm still building. if we're gonna talk about more work force and accuracy, I thinks field work will help a whole lot, so the thing now is, HOW DO I BUILD PORTFOLIO (portfolio will mostly do the speaking) - HOW DO I PITCH MYSELF AS A START UP TO GET MY FIRST GIG??

I eagerly anticipate your response❤

[k_kin]

This video was very useful ❤
And the way you were explaining it was spontaneous and super nice❣, and I liked it very much. You and your channel deserve all the support❤🙏🏾

I love your example of using a real artist as a guinea pig for us to learn from :) Super helpful about what to do and what NOT to do! It makes me more hopeful about starting to use Upwork. Thanks!

[lanzhans.weiying]

hey! I wanna ask, like if you got a job do you start the work right away or ask for half payment beforehand cuz I don't think it would be a nice idea to do all the work and then being refused to pay as they didn't like the work or something else?

[awaisshahid]

Thank you soo much for making this detailed video. I. Myself new on Upwork and I am in alot of overthinking about "how to have my first project". Honestly don't even know how to send a proposal to client.

[viodacreator]

this was so insightful, valuable, and clear thank you.

[kate_lizzerd]

This is such a wonderful video! Thank you so much for that.

I like that you are really showing that this can be easy and we don’t need to do something impossible to get a job)

[fatimaarshad_art]

I really liked the video you shared as it helped me understand complex topics that I found difficult as a beginner. The video was very informative and easy to follow, and it has improved my understanding of these concepts. Thank you for sharing this helpful resource with us

[richardbornemann]

I like your channel and like your thinking. It may seem simple but your advice here is very insightful. I have moved my practice to corporate clients (great to work with/high budgets) and I like what you say about not finding corporate clients on Upwork. But it has its place. Good research on the FireMoose yeah what the heck is that

[silasnikolaus]

Thank you for that great video! Can we see that fire moose? 😃🦌🔥

[dris]

Hey Jasmin 👋 I look forward to watching this tonight when I have time. I love your videos.

[ЕлизаветаЕдиная]

I've been waiting for this video, thank you!

I keep hearing for freelance work in editorial and publishing the importance of a contract especially when it comes to copyrights and royalties. Is Upwork all just work for hire? Is this a safe option to accept?
