$150,000 by Dec 2020. Crushing it on Upwork

Best way to begin the new year: Get paid on the first day :) Got $1,000 for a business development gig. Happy new year brothers and sisters.
Congrats. But what is "business development" gig? :D
Happy new year!
 
The target seems pretty achievable with the pace your already moving! Whats this special idea where people notice more you than other freelancers if you don't mind me asking!

Good luck with your journey! I hope you be able to do more.

Thanks. Clients notice my messages because it's very long and well written, with lots of testimonies and previous projects - there's really no secret sauce here.
 
Good luck with your goal @stepdub Looks like you have a solid plan already though.
You said that you are bringing in external people for the new venture; where are you finding these people, is it just on a per project basis that you are hiring people as required and what sort of split or markup are you putting onto a project when you're outsourcing it?
 
Can you recommend me some indemand skills with low competition? I want to learn and start a freelance career just like you. Thanks
 
Earning Update: 4th January 2020

Got a $1,000 project just a few minutes ago. Took me 3 weeks to close this client. It's a sales project (on boarding users to a platform).

Total Earning: $3,765
Balance: $146,235

I haven't started with the collab deals yet. I prefer to do this with people I know offline, preferably around where I live so that if they don't perform their part of the work, I could go to their house and push them to do the work :) In such deals, my cut would be 25% to 50% depending on the nature of the work and who brings what to the table.

U.S. Taxation, Hadoop and Robotic process automation are the top three skills with very high demand on Upwork (I'm doing none of these). Instead of learning a brand new skill, I suggest you start with what you know best already, and polish it. Or learn a new skill related to your primary skill.
 
Great journey mate. I tried making my profile but got rejected on upwork, don't know why.
 
Pretty impressive that you can do this amount of money on UpWork. Can't wait for 2021 journey as the 3rd part of the journey to 1 million $.
 
Good luck for the rest of 2020. Does the earnings from gigs equate always to the same amount of hours? I.e. $1000 gig equals 20 hours work or can you sometimes do them in 5 hours etc?

So basically... what you do? Can you get more into details? I have no idea what you are doing :D
Good luck though!
