Description
February 2013 is when it happened. Upwork was still Elance-oDesk, I’d been on it a few months, I hadn’t had much luck and was ready to move on. But, I stumbled across a blog post (now since deleted) from the company, itself, where they explained their client-to-freelancer matching algorithms. The keys to how their entire search and matching system worked.
It changed everything.
I immediately changed my profile and landed my first project.
And then another.
And another and another and another… on and on it went.
Until, eventually, I had to turn off my availability because I was getting so many job invites I couldn’t keep up.
So, this course is simple…
I show you what I learned that day and the changes I made that turned everything around for me. If you’re ready to make Upwork actually work for you, then enroll and let’s get started.

I'm a freelance web designer of 15+ years from Missouri. I'm best-known, as a freelancer, for my work with Michael Hyatt, Lewis Howes and Tim Ferriss. I got into teaching a few years back and absolutely love it. So, here we are!
I help web developers with two things: 1) how to code and 2) how to market yourself so you can learn the technical skills you need and turn those skills into a full-time tech career.
