Recently I started up some profiles on upwork and freelancer for graphic design, web development, and SEO services.
Now I don't have all the time in the world and honestly I never intended to do the work myself.

So I hired a VA to respond to listings on the platforms and take orders. $200/month
I also purchased the plans on upwork and freelancer that let me bid a freaking ton on projects so that is an added cost.

For the work I am using services here on BHW that advertise that they are open to white labeling their work so I avoid the issue of stepping on anyones toes and breaking rules.

My structure for how I built the bids was simple, I reached out and asked for samples of the BHW sellers work, with their sales pitch and some modifications I had my VA pitch the service to applicable projects on UW and FL at a 50% mark up.

It took a while to get some bites because I did not purchase reviews or any such thing on the platforms but some people decided a fresh account with no reviews was worth the risk and I got 4 in the first week of trying.
After those 4 orders were successfully fulfilled I got some reviews (and about $150 in profit after all costs to boot!) and then things started to pick up.

On average I am getting 6 projects a week at this point ( after two months) and the average profit per week is between 150-400 usd.

Just thought I'd throw this method out there again, I know I'm not original in this at all but I wanted to give a gentle reminder and perhaps expose some newbies to this approach.
 
This is absolutely a great start to earn some money, great small guide
 
yeah thanks for your guide, I know this method long before but I was reluctant to implement. where did you get your VA?
 
Inspirational!

Which of the three services do you get most orders from?
 
thank you, I enjoyed your post, it was helpful. It's a jungle out there and we are all trying to find a unique way to make money so these ideas are a gem.
 
whats your pricing on upwork? fixed price or hourly payment ?
 
Hey, how are you doing now?

Thinking of starting a similar journey.
 
Great guide! Was doing this 3 years ago. Didn't scale up, but used Reddit to get clients. Should go for Google Ads and other tactics, but it's never too late. Was nice side money for 2 hours of work.

Care to explain what you were doing on reddit since you no longer do it? Id love to get into dropservicing but it seems overshelming so many different niches to provide service for and so many marketing avenues. I dont know where to start.

How did you get the first bites? By responding to every buyer request on Upwork?

Aged Reddit account with +1K Karma , look for subreddits for hire, HungryArtists etc. There was like 7 subreddits that I was searching for. 5X in a day scroll through these subreddits where people are looking for something done [Hiring]. Message them all. After that, just look for a trusted freelancer who can do this for you. Look for projects that can generate at least 50% Profit.
