This is for Upwork freelancers.
This post contains my 7 biggest Upwork freelancing lessons:
1. Proposals aren’t about you.
Most freelancers start with:
"I have this many years of experience in…"
Instead, start with:
"Here’s how I’ll solve [client’s problem]…"
Clients care about their business, not your resume.
2. Niche down your Upwork profile
Pick a niche and stick to it. Don’t offer multiple services
If you try to do everything, you’ll compete on price. But if you master one
thing, clients will seek you out.
3. Cheap clients cost you more.
Low-budget clients demand the most and pay the least. High-value clients
respect your time and expertise.
(You don’t need years of experience, just the confidence to charge what
you're worth.)
4. Your profile is a landing page.
It’s not a resume. It’s a sales page.
If a client lands on your profile and doesn’t see value in 10 seconds, they’re
gone.
5. Response time = success.
Reply within minutes, not hours.
Why? Clients often hire the first freelancer who impresses them.
6. The best clients come from referrals.
Deliver insane value, and the clients will send more work your way.
7. Freelancing isn’t a job. It’s a business.
Treat Upwork like a business, not a gig.
Bonus point: Stay consistent
Success doesn’t come overnight. It comes from:
•Showing up daily.
•Learning from every project.
•Improving your skills, even when work is slow.
The freelancers who stay consistent are the ones who win big.
Freelancing changed my life.
If you’re just starting or struggling to land clients, remember, small shifts lead
to big wins.
P.S. Which lesson resonated with you the most? Let me know 👇

Startups don’t fail because of bad code.
They fail because nobody knew they existed.

We might consider testing paid ads before building your SaaS product
I recently launched a landing page to validate my new SaaS idea.
Instead of just posting on Twitter and waiting — I decided to test paid acquisition on day one.
Here’s the logic:
Building a product takes time
If no one wants it, that’s wasted time
So I need to validate demand before I build
