Two years ago I was a waiter, no idea how to make a website, no past programming experiece or design of any sort (Don't even have a college degree).

I started taking courses on udemy and by chance stumbled upon FLUX channel (and also THE FUTUR) which made me discover webflow. After months I got convinced, and took his course as well along all the others I was already taking, and I gotta say, more that the course itself (which is really good), what I value the most was the community I found after signing up, which helped me tremendously. Now, I just completed a project thanks to a lead I found inside the community and also landed a job on upwork which pays me 24 dollars per hour (I'm from Italy, that kind of money for me is already good) which I started like a month ago.

So yeah, I was always reading stories about other people, on how they managed to transition from a profession to another all by themselves, and it felt really difficult, if not impossible at times, but I'm here goddamnit, the living proof that you just have to be relentless and sooner or later something is gonna click, something is going to turn in your favor.

Go on upwork, go on fiver, go everywhere, be everywhere

peace!

I have 5 years experience in graphic designing, is there anybody who can help me out how to create an upwork account! Thanks

As a UI/UX designer, is it possible to get a job on Upwork just by writing without interviewing the customer?

Hey Ran, It will be worth sharing the content of a winning proposal.

Could you please share?

I really wish I was in your stead getting many high budget clients while your work's quality is actually basic and low 😉

You didn't answer the question

This takes my hopes off

How do you find clients if u never started up with them (these sites)

you also learn how to talk and organize your work with your clients, also solve problems.. it's a great learning platforms how to communicate with your "real world" potential clients in the future – i think this is a high value. no matter what money you will make. Surely very competitive people (india bangladesh) who will do some amasing work for almost free. Crazy world.

thanks a lot for u story

thank u soo muchhh!!

I used upwork(elance what upwork bought).
When started my company was sometimes short on money. Then I was working on elance… to me it's all about selling yourself. Have a good niech (I'm Dutch and specified in logistics so carrier integration) it was quiet easy getting jobs. For sure it was quiet easy to get work (Dutch and Belgium customers) and ofcourse do your job well and pick what can lead to more work. Had a customer who was very happy and at the end did like 20 jobs for him (smaller and bigger once). Most of my customers come back and I think if your customer wants cheapest don't think that are not the customers you want to pursue.

Now use the platform for little projects but now I hire instead and rather find people to build up a relationship with so they know your code and how you work

Thanks for the great video

On the May 26, 2022. Buyer whose name is neoapel (FIVERR SELECT) had contacted to me and ask me to do two offers for him. One was Translation questionnaire English language to Thai language. And the second Offer was Translating questionnaire English language to Chinese language.

Before I had sent the offers to him. I told him clearly that even I can translate English language to Chinese language. But I am not a native Chinese language speaker. He said O.K. and told me to do two offers for him.

I had hard and quick to send works of those two offers on 28th May 2022, and everything was marked as completed in a few days later.

But on Friday 10th June 2022, he said his customer in mainland China had complained about my work. He said my Chinese language writing style is not correct and vocabulary also not correct. He said, he wanted me to return money to him.

I said, I willing to amend the work for him and send to him again on morning of Monday 13th June 2022. He said O.K.

But on Saturday 11th June 2022, he said, he wanted me to return money to him and he will go to find another translator to take this job. Later, he cancelled the offer and platform of Fiverr took my money and gave to him.

Is it that fair?!

When I brought this story to share in Fiverr’s forum. People there tried to defend and blamed and finally the Fiverr’s forum deleted my complaining page. Some people said, because I had mentioned name of other!? I cannot say name of guy who cheated me at the public site?! Once, I had reported Fiverr’s support. People from Fiverr’s support just defended the buyer and refused to return my money back.

I will stop to with Fiverr. It is too risky and there no guarantee to protect you from to be cheated and work for nothing just some bad buyer. Bad buyer can cheat your money easily just to blame your work.

I want to know what people do you look to hire so I have an idea of what I should learn present myself charge for my service

I started on Fiverr and the thing is you want these good testimonials.

« your marketing is a mess, did you know there a way to work not for money but for testimonials ? » just take it

I'm a video editor living in a third-world country, Argentina, (So I belong to the market that everyone blames for when they say it's impossible to make good money online) and I started on Upwork on July 2021 at $7,50/h with a very minimal portfolio, and today, after only 6 months my rate is $20/h. I know it's still not enough for first-world countries but my goal is to be at $50/h at the end of the year and most likely it will happen, so I don't think it has to take 5+years to make good money. Besides, dealing with the clients in Upwork will make you VERY resilient and valuable for good clients that don't care about money and only care about end result.

Man, just grow your hair.
Then you will look like Professor in Money Heist🌚❤️
