Why is Upwork right for you?

Upwork is the right place for anyone with a passion for offering services online and making money in the comfort of their home or even at the beach.

Here are some of the reasons as to why Upwork is the right place for you:

-Your effort is rewarded: You will meet and interact with clients who will assign you tasks and will pay for the work done. Every good work is rated, and this attracts more clients.

-Payment protection: Upwork has a payment protection program that offers protection to the freelancer. This ensures that you get paid for the work delivered per the client's guidelines.

-A platform focused on your success: Upwork is always focused on making the freelancers shine by finding more and more opportunities for you.

Steps to get started

1. Sign up

The first step to getting started with Upwork is securing an account by signing up with your personal details. Once you have an account in place, you need to choose a membership plan. This membership plan can be changed in the future depending on your needs and preferences.

2. Create a profile

Once you are done signing up, you must create a profile stating your skills, experience and your hourly rates. Your profile offers you an opportunity to market yourself to potential clients. Therefore, you should be keen to sell yourself to the clients by writing the best description of yourself.

3. Set up your method of payments

Once the job is paid for, you would like to withdraw the money and have it with you. You should, therefore, set up your payment preference method. The payment methods available include PayPal, Payoneer, Skrill and Wireless Bank Transfer Method.

4. Upwork Messaging

This service helps the clients and freelancers to communicate and collaborate on the projects effectively.

Thanks for downloading this book. It’s my firm belief that it will provide you with all the answers to your questions.

Chapter 1 Getting Your First Job

Upwork is a great place to find ghostwriting jobs. Before I had my web content writer site, I was making a good income through Upwork alone. Once you get a few jobs under your belt, you'll find that there are plenty of jobs for writers that pay pretty well. The only challenge is getting the first few jobs under your belt.

It can take a while before someone hires you, and the waiting can be frustrating. The reason it takes so long is that you have no "feedback." On freelance sites like this, it's all about your feedback rating. This is what allows you to bid high on jobs and get hired.

There is a simple technique for getting your first job, and I call it the Pay Your Dues Method. It goes something like this:

Step One - Bid on jobs at a ridiculously low rate that's essentially what you'd make at McDonald's.

Step Two - Do the jobs and blow your clients away with the stellar content you deliver.

Step Three - Give them nice feedback saying that they're the coolest, nicest, most flexible, most easy-to-work-with, etc., and that you'd happily work for them again.

Step Four - Keep bidding and inch up your rate until you're making what you want to be making.
