Top 5 Pro Freelancer Secrets to Make Over $1.9 Million on Upwork Invites

In this section, the speaker talks about how job invites are a gift from Upwork to freelancers who follow the rules and do great work. He also explains that job invites can come from high-budget clients and can be for invite-only jobs.

Job Invites

  • Job invites are a gift from Upwork to freelancers who follow the rules and do great work.
  • Job invites mean that you were personally identified by the client to take a look at this job.
  • Job invites can come from some of the highest budget clients out there and they can be for invite-only jobs meaning other Freelancers can't even see the job unless they've been invited.

Ranking Higher on Upwork

  • Your profile correlates into how high your profile will rank in search when a client posts a new job.
  • There are ways to consistently show up higher on Upwork such as starting a new job, having a milestone approved, completing a job with a five-star rating, having consistent project tags across all jobs, getting repeat hired by a single client, and having high average clients spend.

Better Projects vs More Projects

  • Better projects are far more important than more projects.
  • Doing one big project is better than doing multiple small projects because it allows you to focus more and deliver better work which leads to better reviews.

Leveraging Momentum on Upwork

In this section, the speaker discusses how momentum is important on Upwork and how one bad project or review can slow down a freelancer's progress.

Leverage Momentum

  • One dollar worth of earnings is worth one dollar or 80 cents if you're under $500 with that client. A review is worth at least 10 times that.
  • When a potential client looks at your profile, they see your 10 most recent reviews.
  • Don't lose momentum - one bad project slows you down and brings all of your work down. One bad review is going to stop you from growing.
  • Be dynamite at choosing great clients and avoiding any that are going to crush your momentum.

Why Charging Higher Rates is Better

Charging Higher Rates

  • In general, the clients that pay more are better and the smaller clients give the biggest headaches.

  • Don't lose momentum - consistently upping your game will get you away from headache clients.
