Thank goodness for your content and channel. A lot of the WordPress/Freelance/Ecommerce/Online Marketing content comes across as thin and spammy. Yours is honest and thorough.

[@russellbrian]

Thank you for these videos, they are pure gold for those of us who don't have a clue about upwork! Regarding the last job you mentioned, a fixed price job for $600, is the price of these actually fixed or would you try and negotiate a higher price if you thought the job was more complicated? $600 sounds like two days effort at most.

Thanks

[@003yeg]

Hello Taylor, awesome video, very informative. I am a web developer with knowledge in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, but would like to transition into WordPress development. Where did you learn PHP and Wordpress development or where would you recommend for someone to learn from. Thank you.

[@coding4tacos385]

Thank you so much for your comment! I learned PHP mostly from tutoring lessons and I learned WP mostly through Udemy courses and projects. On Udemy many people recommend the course by Brad Schiff, but there are lots of good ones. Once you know the basics of how themes work, PHP if statements and loops will get you a long way. Most of the time you don't need to write anything complicated, as least for theme development.

[@003yeg]

coding4tacos thank you for the tips.

[@ebukachikodi4415]

why is your upwork profile set to private?

[@CarlosCastro94360]

do you edit their sites with FTP or do you login? Is there a blog post where I can learn more about the process to edit their website?

[@coding4tacos385]

Excellent question, Carlos! It really depends on the situation. What is preferable is to have a staging site and make changes there before moving them to the live site, which is often done through FTP. I always ask clients for login info for the WordPress dashboard and FTP credentials at the bare minimum.

[@coding4tacos385]

I plan to write a blog post and make vids about this in the future.

[@jackkhalifa97]

How to get approved by upwork? Can you help with some tips or tricks?

[@coding4tacos385]

I am not the best person to answer this, but include all of your information about your education, skills and portfolio projects. Having a professional email is also recommended. There are many good blog posts on this and John Morris has some videos about it as well.

[@amazinglife9189]

Great video thanks so much! I am a newbie here, creating my portfolio to start with upwork! How easy is to win a project as a newbie without any feedback - rating on upwork;

[@coding4tacos385]

I'm glad to hear it!! In the beginning, it's a bit of a numbers game. I applied to 10 or 15 small jobs before getting my first contract. It's important to remember that small contracts regularly lead to more work from the client (especially if you get a good review), so taking the time to write a custom proposal is worth it.
