How about the local seo niche in Upwork ? Is it saturated ?
 
You give all the projects to outsource?
That's the long term plan, but for now I'm doing the work myself, and have a friend who helps.

i read about people making great money with press releases
Didn't know. I'm going to check on this.

No idea bro. But some BHW members said anything related to SEO is saturated on Upwork.
 
Namaste my IM Brothers :) This is Part 2 of my successful journey: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/20-000-usd-side-income-by-dec-2019-working-just-one-hour-a-day.1121177/

My goal now is to make $150,000 by Dec 2020. My previous journey involved working alone. In this new journey I will collaborate with people of different skills. I've figured out a way to get noticed by clients on Upwork, get replies to my pitches etc.

The plan is to JV with people who are smarter than me. I will source lucrative projects through Upwork, we work together, and share the income.

I've bought the Upwork Plus Plan for $15 per month. With this plan, I can see what other freelancers have bid for the project, and it will help me pitch more strategically.

I will post the earning updates as I get paid. Wish me luck :)
Wow this is nice!

Don't give up ... every penny counts.... BTW, how long you'll work to complete these $100-$200 projects?

4-10 hours. I quote an hourly rate between $15-40 and fixed price between $100-200 for these small lead gen jobs.

I like to make money from from project management and consulting in a very specific niche (I have years of experience in, and this is outside of general internet marketing). Ive made $500-3000 in these jobs, the highest being $3000 so far. But such jobs are not found everyday on Upwork.

Now my main goal is to collab. I had posted a JV thread and made some nice connections. Have started bidding for relevant jobs where I can get the project and outsource it to my JV partners and split the profit. Haven't got any job yet for these JVs but I'm bidding non-stop everyday.

Since I've made some money in the last two months I have a little bit of leverage and can keep bidding 3-10 jobs a day non-stop for a month. With that kind of action I expect at least one or two jobs to be won.

Maybe I am asking too much. But thought of asking you just in case if you can answer or don't.

You said manual and don't use any tool for lead generation.

Do you just create a spreadsheet with name, email, phone number, etc and send it to the client or do you do more?

What is the average number of leads do you provide the client with for $100?

No problem bud. Yes that's exactly how I gather leads. Web research, nothing more, nothing extra.

On average 10 to 20 leads, but all that depends on client budget.

$100 for 10 to 20 sites? Maybe that's some extra work I guess in searching for them.

I mean you it might be hard to get those collected, I guess.

Not hard at all. Very easy. Other freelancers on Upwork can deliver these leads for $0.10 each. It's just that I package my offer beautifully, and have a well written profile with plenty of testimonials, and client history.
 
This is definitely worth it. Once you establish a profile with solid feed and decent portfolio, you can achieve it. I started on UpWork 3 years ago. Hit $30k my first year, $50k the following and last year $120k using my unique approach too. Can't wait to see how your journey turns out.
Thats sick. What services do you offer on Upwork?

It's a happy valentines day for me :) Got two projects:

1) $1000 for a job that involves product listing on an e-commerce marketplace. Took 3 months to close this client :)
2) $500 for a lead generation job.
