I can't stress this enough - watch his videos, watch them more than once. Personally, his content was a game-changer for me, helping me reach that coveted 100K milestone. I'm confident it can do wonders for you too.

Hello sir, please I need your Facebook group link sir, Thanks for your response God bless@@FreelanceMVP
Your video is wonderful. I've been a freelancer for almost 3 years in Upwork, and it changed my life, but there are times when it's not rosy, it's a roller coaster, as you say. Thanks for this video because it encourages me to keep going. Hugs from Colombia! IT ALWAYS SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE, UNTIL YOU DO IT 💯

hello bro i need help in freelance
I love this!! Delivering consistent excellent work is everything 👏🏼
I keep coming back to this channel for the brilliance which Evan puts in his videos. I am still not the "successful" freelancer, but I plan to, as I am re-watching the videos time to time. Thank you Evan again.
Can't express how thankful I am for stumbling upon this gem. Your insights are truly appreciated!
Amazing! Just reached $30k in two years. After watching videos i'm sure I'll hit a $100k milestone within this year!
Man, thanks a lot for sharing your knowlege!
Watched his content when I was under $10k, now I'm at $90k. He's the real deal.

yeah, that's exactly where I am in "drama" phase. A lot of clients juts asks for samples, to top it off they try their best to get the theoretical solution from you in pre-contact meetings and get it done hy low-budget freelancers. Would love and appreciate your take on this.
I just found your channel - pure gold! Thank you for including the exact words to write in proposals, and other communication. I'm staying tuned!
Evan, first of all, that's an awesome guide. Can you also make a video about outsourcing as a freelancer?
You have become my guardian angel
I'm slowly following your advices. My first answer today, not sure it will be great and long works, but f***, my first answer on the platform!

Hello, first of all, top content, I love watching you. Secondly, I want to start shooting client-oriented videos. That is, your content is for finding people who want to make money from freelancing. What would you recommend filming for those who want to find clients to fulfill orders, for example, website creation and UX/UI design?
Great one!

sir, upload more videos about recent Upwork market place. Cz the cost is increasing more day by day

I don't know if this is accurate but I'm noticing a decline in the proposal count on Upwork and the quality required by clients goes up even for smaller budget jobs I'm working on post my work quality up to 300% since this is the only way to progress!!
Good video.
Hey to all! I have a quick question: Evan, you run a business and represent it on Upwork. You sign a contract with your customer and then let your business take care of it. I do the same, but my business is software development, so my team writes the code while I do management. Does it go against Upwork ToS? Thanks a lot in advance!
Agree but never knew that freelance in first world countries also sacrifice their sleep due to meeting or freelance in general
14:36 We have coworkings in Ukraine. They are everywhere. Mine is 2 minutes away on foot. I don't need a car in my city and may enjoy nature thanks to urban planners.
How can I avoid bad clients? And what can I do if I committed with one?
Well, If I don't make it to Toptal at 150$ per hour I can live with that. 50$ per hour in Thailand and I live like a king. My trick is that I'm in the very specialised field of composite material design and manufacturing. You know the 200 $ per pound carbon fiber.... Yep always a shortage in that domain.
I'm new to upwork and I will dream to succeed because i watched your video. Such an inspiration

You gotta be kidding really 🤯 when did you start freelancing and how long did it take to get you making that much? Perhaps I can do it too, My maximum earnings so far is only $4K but I am doing it part time so am not too bummed.
I wish to have Christmas party :/ 5 years as office cleaner - only one person from company in my city, then 2 years remote for British client and now 1y officially as freelancer. No Christmas party, no contact with other humans. I hate that after so many years (14:00)
As a teenager, I want to start my real life as a freelancer instead of working. Did I choose the right way?
🎉 We eagerly anticipate the release of your videos, which have played a pivotal role in shaping our journey. Approximately a year ago, I commenced my Upwork endeavors while concurrently following your content, and I am pleased to report that I have successfully surpassed the milestone of earning over $10,000 within this one-year span. The key takeaway from this experience is the significance of unwavering dedication and, perhaps even more crucially, the invaluable insights your videos provide.

Hey you! You! I like you. I just recently started doing Voice Over work full time. I get up at 5am, workout and get to work in my studio. I started watching you while I work out (hm. That seems weird, huh). I mean, I listen to you. Lol. Either way, I was new to upwork, hadn't gotten any work yet, and within a week I had 4 contracts. Thank you. 👍✌️🫶
