I've said this once, and I'll happily say it again: If you're thinking about freelancing, you've struck gold with this channel. I can't stress this enough – watch his videos, watch them more than once. Personally, his content was a game-changer for me, helping me reach that coveted 100K milestone. I'm confident it can do wonders for you too.

[dianajimenez]

Your video is wonderful. I've been a freelancer for almost 3 years in Upwork, and it changed my life, but there are times when it's not rosy, it's a roller coaster, as you say. Thanks for this video because it encourages me to keep going. Hugs from Colombia! IT ALWAYS SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE, UNTIL YOU DO IT 💯

[jnralfred]

Your videos are the best for someone looking to start a freelance career so detailed and curated...

[otmanm]

I'm slowly following your advices. My first answer today, not sure it will be great and long works, but f***, my first answer on the platform!

[QaisarImtiazP]

I keep coming back to this channel for the brilliance which Evan puts in his videos. I am still not the "successful" freelancer, but I plan to, as I am re-watching the videos time to time.
Thank you Evan again.

[DesertStoicism]

(9 Mistakes All New freelancers Need To Avoid!) Sounds better as a title, grabs more attention, great video btw

[JessicaMDesigns]

I just found your channel - pure gold! Thank you for including the exact words to write in proposals, and other communication. I'm staying tuned!

[rahilanwar]

Amazing! Just reached $30k in two years. After watching videos i'm sure I'll hit a $100k milestone within this year!

[hamzahmd_]

Evan, first of all, that's an awesome guide.
Can you also make a video about outsourcing as a freelancer?

[calebdueckdotcom]

Watched his content when I was under $10k, now I'm at $90k. He's the real deal.

[jmrqz]

I love this!! Delivering consistent excellent work is everything 👏🏼

[upworkcoach]

Can't express how thankful I am for stumbling upon this gem. Your insights are truly appreciated!

[hamzahmd_]

That's surely the best advice for everyone 11:10

Trust is the key.

[ahmadhassan]

yeah, that's exactly where I am in "drama" phase. A lot of clients juts asks for samples, to top it off they try their best to get the theoretical solution from you in pre-contact meetings and get it done hy low-budget freelancers. Would love and appreciate your take on this.

[olegb]

Man, thanks a lot for sharing your knowlege!

[bladongarland]

I love this video, this wasnt a "eat this super food to get abs" vid. It was a "if youre worth money, youll make money" video. I adore the honest, truly, thank uou

[MillenniumGeneral]

You have become my guardian angel <3

[shehlabasit]

[slitroy]

Hello, first of all, top content, I love watching you.

Secondly, I want to start shooting client-oriented videos. That is, your content is for finding people who want to make money from freelancing.

What would you recommend filming for those who want to find clients to fulfill orders, for example, website creation and UX/UI design?

[christopher]

Evan I’ve now earned over $300k on Upwork. Thank you for all you’ve done for us.
