Hey everyone.
I am silent user of bhw for quite long now.
After reading lots of successful case studies.
I have planned to start mine. In order to have something to keep me motivated and also there will be so much to learn down the journey for fellow members as well.

My background.

I am providing SEO, SEM and development services to my direct clients from 2012.

Also have couple of affiliate and AdSense blogs as well under my portfolio.

I and pretty confident and have good hold on my skills. So order fulfillment is not an issue.

Already managing team of 9 people all remote.

My goals:

==> Reach up to $10k per month - long terms Jobs which pay monthly recurring agency clients
==> Get top rated batch ASAP

Currently have an old account from 2015. Have done some small jobs. Around 800,$ earned.

You can consider it as a new account.

My strategy:
Go hardcore on using connects and bidding.

Go with 2 Upwork accounts

The plan is to invest $900 on connects
$450 worth of connects on each account.

It will be around 6000 connect per account.

So, the idea is to bid on long term development and SEO jobs.

Apply with 2 Upwork accounts on every potential long term Jobs. And get two spots in top 4 boosted section.

As competition is high in both categories I have plan to invest 120 connects with one account and 100 connects with second account.

Will change that according to the Job and competition.

I am really confident on this strategy. Planning to achieve that goal in ideally one or maximum 3 month.

Will let you guys know about my journey.

Will update you guys twice a week.
Cheers. Wish me best of luck.
 
Hey, seems a good plan. I'll be following :)
 
Upwork has lot of potential. Yoy just need some reviews to get started there.
 
Hey, guys I am back with the update

Its been 2 days since the start of this journey.

I have applied on 7 jobs total. On every job I have applied with 2 profiles. And got the 2 spots in boosted section. Connects ranging from 30 to 110.

Here is the good part.

Out of 7 jobs. 5 proposal got viewed. And got 2 responses from clients.

1 job I have rejected because of amount it's not worth the time. I was about 800 per month.

2nd job is closed at around $2500 per month. It will start by coming Monday.

Till now I have spend around 80$ to 90$ worth of connects
And closed one job at $2500

Plans seems working already I was not expecting to close the job that quickly.

Planning to send more 50 to 60 proposal on same strategy. In next month and a half. I am pretty confident to achieve my goal pretty quickly

If you have any questions. Just ask. I"LL respond
 
Best of luck. But how are you using 2 accounts? Are both accounts verified with the same ID?
 
I made 5k on Upwork last year. I'm very selective when it comes to the gigs I apply for. I boost with connects but I try to keep it at a minimum. Like 5 or 10 boosted connects.

I am not that much selective. I take on the job. If it's seems it's taking to much time and client is too much frustrating. Then I quit the job. Even I didn't even get paid.
As it better to focus on good clients rather them holding on to a bad client
