3 weird Upwork hacks (that actually work!)

[@dafeoghen2657]

Just read the damn job post 😂😂😂

Great video. I still think its better to read the job post no matter how long it is. Some clients will put a keyword at the end of their job posting to test whether freelancers read the full post.

[@AlecG]

a valid point, different approaches offer different advantages. its up to us to decide what seems best to us

[@rickboyerdev]

Is it really that difficult to just read the actual post?

[@AlecG]

it depends on how long it is. This trick is more useful when the post is long

Can you explain connection and buying

[@AlecG]

@@Newven01 conects are a premium digital currency on upwork that you need to use if you want to use some of the methods for finding jobs on Upwork. You can find jobs by using project catalog for free or you can get invited to jobs or you can apply to job posts if you have connects. if you dont have connects, you can pay to get some connrcts.

Hi man I finally found you ! I know you have a lot of experience in the field of freelancing and that's why I came to ask for your advice I am currently going to study computer science or data analysis and artificial intelligence in the Emirates I haven't decided yet And I am in dire need of learning a freelance skill to pay the rent So what is the skill that you see the most in demand and advise me to learn Knowing that - I don't care how difficult it is - I want it to be within the professional field but I don't care if it is not in high demand I hope you take care of the answer because your answer means a lot to me

@@Akram-u2i4p Are you looking for a freelance job just for the duration of your studies or do you want me to recommend something that you can spend your whole career freelancing in?

[@Akram-u2i4p]

freelance job just for the duration of my studies and if i like it and i get a good source fo incom i will steck wiht it a career

[@AlecG]

@@Akram-u2i4p ideally you want a freelance job that will give you skills or work experience that will help in your career after your studies. Web development would be good for all 3 fields of study and it is easy to find freelance work in web development. Otherwise Sales is just a good skill to learn for everyone and data entry would be the easiest to learn and it would look good on your resume if you choose data analysis or if you learn google ads or bing ads, you could try to find at least 1 long term client and you could write something like this in your work experience on your resume: "data analyst and ads manager for (company name) for X years" because technically a large amount of what you do as a google or bing ads manager is to analyze data
