A short video from Josh Burns: How I Made $800,000 Freelancing on Upwork 🤑

Josh’s first tip from the video is to choose and learn a high-paying skill. He researched high-paying skills and picked the one he liked the most: database administration.

He now charges $150/hour on Upwork and has billed for almost 10,000 hours on there 💪

Another tip from Josh…

Never give up. It actually took me around 3 months to win my first job on Upwork. However, the more jobs that you complete successfully, the more you get noticed and the more jobs that you get invited to. Upwork is a marathon, not a sprint.

Josh also has a 50-minute Upwork beginner’s tutorial that you might find useful.
