What you'll learn

  • Book high-paying Upwork clients in 30 days or less with a repeatable client-landing system, so you escape feast-or-famine.
  • See exactly what makes a client hit “invite to interview” — through real Upwork hiring case studies from someone who's reviewed thousands of proposals.
  • Write proposals that actually get read — and get you shortlisted — even in competitive niches.
  • Position yourself on skill and value so you can charge premium rates and stop competing on price.
  • Build a magnetic Upwork profile that positions you as the obvious choice and attracts high-quality invites.
  • Spot high-value clients (and red flags) fast, so you spend your time on work that actually pays.
  • Deliver like a pro to become the freelancer clients rehire and refer.
  • Turn one-off gigs into long-term, stable income without constantly hunting for the next client.
  • Build a sustainable freelance business that protects your energy — part-time hours, real time off.

Description

Booking high-paying clients on Upwork in 30 days or less — that's what the 6-Figure Freelancing on Upwork Intensive is built to help you do, so you can create a freelance business that gives you more freedom (and more income) than your 9-5 ever did.

Here's what makes this different: I'm not just a 6-figure Upwork freelancer. I've also been an Upwork recruiter who's personally reviewed thousands of proposals and profiles while hiring freelancers for my clients — so you learn what gets freelancers hired from a client's perspective.


Let me guess…

You're great at what you do. But selling your skills on Upwork? That part feels like shouting into the void.

Whether you're still in a 9-5, trying to freelance, or chaotically doing both, I bet you're:

Exhausted and overworked → craving a schedule that lets you actually live.

Worried about job security → wanting the skills to replace lost income in weeks, not months.

Tired of sending proposals into a black hole → wondering if Upwork even works.

It does. You just haven't been shown how the hiring side actually thinks. Yet.


Your unfair advantage: real Upwork hiring case studies

Most Upwork courses teach you theory. This one takes you behind the the scenes to see how getting hired works from the client side.

Inside, you get 5+ hours of real-world hiring case study videos where I break down actual proposals submitted for real jobs, and show you:

• Which proposals got passed over instantly (and the exact reason why)

• Which profiles made me stop and hit “invite to interview”

• How tiny tweaks to wording, positioning, and pricing changed the outcome

• The subtle mistakes talented freelancers make without realizing it

This isn't theory. It's how hiring decisions actually get made on Upwork...and once you see it, you can't unsee it. It's the difference between guessing and knowing how to get clients to respond to your proposals.


What you'll master inside

Foundations: how Upwork really works, so you stop guessing and build credibility from day one.

Client acquisition: a magnetic profile and proposals that get replies, so you land more interviews with less effort.

Positioning & pricing: own your value and charge premium rates instead of racing to the bottom.

Delivery: communicate like a pro, prevent scope creep, and turn one-off gigs into long-term clients.

Sustainability: the systems, mindset, and finances that keep your business (and you) healthy for the long haul.


Who's teaching you?

I'm Kristen — your freelancing mentor. A decade ago I started on Upwork at $33/hour. Today I charge $400+/hour, earn a six-figure income working 20 hours a week, and take 2+ months off every year. Freelancing let me move from Indiana to Barcelona on a digital nomad visa, and build a sustainable freelance business around my real capacity — chronic illnesses and all.

I've been on both sides of the Upwork hiring table: the freelancer getting booked, and the recruiter deciding who gets hired. So you're not just learning how *I* land clients...you're learning how the top freelancers across dozens of niches do, too.


Don't just take my word for it

“Before this course, I was sending endless proposals on Upwork with no responses and ready to give up. Kristen's guidance completely changed my mindset and strategy. The real hiring case studies were eye-opening — for the first time, freelancing finally felt simple and doable. Since finishing, I've landed clients, priced myself confidently, and built a freelance business I feel proud of.” — Audrey


This is for you — even if…

• You're not a “salesperson” and pitching yourself makes you want to hide under a blanket.

• You've never written a proposal and you're pretty sure your first one might sound like a bad Tinder message. (It's okay, we'll fix that.)

• You've applied to 10 jobs and heard crickets, and you're wondering if freelancing is even for you.

It is. You just need the right strategy — and a look behind the curtain.
