[Journey] Making my first 1,000 on Upwork

BlueCatServices said:
Means nothing about how much they spent.
There are clients with 100k+ and if you check their history out, they have an avg of 5$/hr paid.

Don't make decisions based on "maybe" and "perhaps"

You’re one hundred percent true. But I can just assume that someone who has spent 10k$ with a hire rate of 90 has more chances or spending more than someone who has just a few hundreds and a very low hire rate.

I wasn’t making decisions I was just sharing.

Got a $70 job from the recent client. And have completed it successfully.

Total earnings: 110$
Balance: 890$

I’m still waiting for my Raising Talent badge. I’m not sure when will I get it. I have done the readiness test as well. Any suggestions on getting the badge? @stepdub

Got another job for 15$
This is a usual 15$ job but the client has spent 10k on Upwork and I think it will be good if I can get more products from this client. Hence $15 is a really good price to start.

Balance: 970$

Don't focus too much on this badge :) If your profile is well written and the cover letter is customised and makes you sound like an expert, clients will respond to your bids.

Thank you for responding I fully agree with your statement. I have an good cover letter (I’m getting responses and asked some of my clients to review it and they said it’s good enough so I’m saying it’s good based on their opinion) but I feel that the badge plays a good role while getting selected. However I have 5 jobs now with full 5 star ratings.
 
you just took me in 2013. i started my upwork journey from then. At that time it was called Odesk. I am sure you can feel what I felt on my first project. Wish you all the best on your journey

Update: Job done successfully. Got a five star review and 5$ for the job. (It will be released in 5 days)

After the fund is released I’ll buy 40 connects for 6$ and then will start bidding for the jobs.

Earned: 5$
Balance: 995$

Tip: Change your title to the keyword of the job you just completed. You will show up more on the invite tab for such jobs.

Thank you but can you explain it for me?

Question 1) Are you talking about the general title or the title or any of the three personalised profiles?

Question 2) Let’s say that my profile already says Facebook Ads Expert and the latest job is Need Someone to Fix my Facebook ads Targeting do I need to change anything?

Hmmm... I thought you had just one.
1. The logical thing will be to go with the profile that won the job in the first place.
2. This is works.

All the best.
 
Good luck on the journey, I can't even get an account there lol.

Lost hope on Upwork but probably will try again later.
 
UPDATE: Finally got my first job invite. I am guessing that this is the starting to get more invites
 
UPDATE: Just got my first job invite, I’m hoping this is the start to start getting more invites.

I have gotten a ‘Client who would recommend you’ score which is 100% now from nil. I didn’t have any idea about it so I contacted the forum they said that I have done 5 jobs from 4 different clients hence that’s there, and they also said that there is a probability that I will get the Job Success Score today. I am excited about it since I don’t have any badge now and it will be good to have atleast the Job Success Score I’m waiting to get the score in the next update, which is today.
