You want to get your first job on Upwork, and you want it ASAP.

The thing is…

It takes most people weeks, or even months, to get their first job on Upwork.

Here’s what many of them are doing wrong:

a) charge crazy rates right out of the gate...
b) don’t include work examples in their proposals...
c) don’t respond to clients...

In fact, I counted 8 common mistakes preventing Upwork beginners from landing their first gig.

Today, I’m introducing a VERY special guest to our show to best demonstrate what these mistakes look like...

And later on, I’ll share with you my 4 golden rules to winning your first job, including my three-by-three method that I think you're going to love.

If you follow these rules closely, I’m sure you’ll land a job on Upwork in no time.
And when you do -- let me know in the comments below!

This video was strongly inspired by The Futur and Josh Burns Tech - thanks guys! Special shoutout to Freelance Growth as we come up together in our journey.

Hello thanks so much for offering so much value
There are only few people on the internet that offers genuine value and you are one of them.
My question is for someone who is a beginner in their freelance journey and haven’t really had past clients, how can I position my self to get clients?

Hi Evan, quick question here please, how do you plug marketing yourself on Upwork into your schedule, do you do it for a few continued hours or multiple times a day? Thank you for the great value you're putting out there!

Hi, I’m new to your channel! Love your content. I’ve been on Upwork about 3 months. I offer digital marketing services, but focus mainly on content creation. I’m pricing my services at lower than usual to get clients. I have gotten good results but need to double them. My question is, how can I get more yeses? I have a good cover letter, profile, and try to do 20 outreach per day. I have a decent portfolio too. What do you recommend. I’m currently working with 10 clients and wanting to go to 20

Loved watching this video!! Inspired.
Here is my question- do you think the place you are from affects your likelihood of getting jobs? I ask this because most of the successful freelancers I've come across are Americans and I am from Africa.
