Upwork is one of the largest freelancing platforms in the world, and also one of the most competitive. Many freelancers create profiles, send proposals, and never hear back. The difference between struggle and success usually comes down to positioning, clarity, and understanding how clients actually choose freelancers.

In this class, you’ll learn how to approach Upwork strategically. We’ll begin by understanding how the platform works and how to choose the right niche for your skills. From there, you’ll build a professional profile, structure your rates, and optimize your visibility using keywords and Upwork SEO principles.

You’ll also learn how to write proposals that stand out, avoid common profile mistakes, structure your project catalogue, and present yourself professionally through video introductions and project covers. Beyond landing work, we’ll focus on what happens after you’re hired: communication, deadlines, time management, and building long-term client relationships.

This class is practical and action-focused. Whether you’re brand new to Upwork or already have a profile but aren’t getting results, you’ll leave with a clearer strategy and a structured freelance workflow you can apply immediately.

By the end of the class, you’ll have a professional Upwork profile, stronger proposal skills, and a confident plan for finding and managing freelance work.
