How to 8X Your Upwork/Fiverr Earning

Updated: Oct 15, 2021

There are always specific reasons why you aren't getting jobs on freelancing platforms such as Fiverr or Upwork?

There are specific steps that you can follow to start winning clients. You can spend a ton of time and energy creating the perfect profile or gig, measuring the number of words in your proposals, learning new skills, and more but that's not the fastest way to start winning projects.

Here I'll show you the much easier and fastest approach to 8X your Fiverr or Upwork earning

Fix Your Title

Titles are like the "entranceway" to your profile.

Although it doesn't have to be perfect, a mess can easily damage your chances. When your title tries to be too many things at once, this is the biggest red flag. There is no point in hiring a lawyer who is also involved in data entry, app development, and housecleaning. Do you really want to hire such a person? It is therefore important that your title is focused.

Fix Your Picture

Are you willing to hire someone who seems incompetent and unlikable? Certainly not. That is often exactly how your Upwork profile picture communicates. Don't do it! You are hired or ignored based on the way you look. Your photo would look best outdoors in natural light. Smile - clients will like you more if you appear friendly.

Fix Your Proposal

Clients won't care much about what your profile says, as long as your proposals are good. The best profile won't work if the proposals aren't good. Therefore, spending time refining your proposals is worth it. To write an excellent proposal, share your knowledge with your client. You can show them you're caring for their interests by offering them a helpful tip or advice. There is no better way to quickly get jobs on Upwork than to do this.

Fix Your Proof

Getting Upwork jobs will require you to demonstrate your ability to clients. Not just any job, but THEIR job. You should present them with hard proof to convince them. If you do that, hiring you shouldn't, be a problem. In any other case, you are just telling them that they can do it, which is far less powerful. What if I do not have any examples of work that are similar to what the client wants?

Conclusion

These are the most effective way to gain more confidence in your clients. Also, communication matters a lot in terms of win your clients. If you are new always try to give much value for a low price and then you can increase your price gradually.
