I started on Upwork with zero credibility and a brand-new profile, but I worked my way up to becoming one of the few truly top-tier talents in my niche, with clients gladly paying me $120/hour — all while living in a country where such rates are considered extremely high. I’ve navigated challenges, from having my account suspended to successfully reinstating it, from getting zero profile views to attracting dozens per month, multiple invitations, and 1-3 new recurring clients monthly.

In addition to freelancing, I also hire other freelancers on Upwork, and am highly selective as a client.

With this experience, I can offer insights both as a top-rated freelancer and as an employer. I’ll help you craft an appealing Upwork profile and develop a smart investment strategy. Yes, I say “investment” because succeeding on Upwork today requires spending "connects" — the platform’s internal currency, which is purchased with real money. But with the right approach, your investment will be strategic and profitable.

Whether you are super new to Upwork and don't know where to start, or you’ve already started and gathered some specific questions, great! Either way, I’ll share everything I know to help you navigate the platform.

Looking forward to helping you build a thriving freelance career and design the lifestyle you want!
