This Automation Helps Him Make $20K/Month on Upwork

Nick Saraev
  • $20,000 monthly revenue via Upwork

👀 A recent video by Nick Saraev…

  • This Simple Make.com Automation Generates $20K/mo on Upwork…

He basically breaks down an automation he’s set up that regularly checks Upwork’s RSS feed for his specified job queries.

But he has some really smart AI filtering going on there 🤖

Ultimately his ideal jobs get added into a spreadsheet for him to skim through, with templated proposals ready to copy and paste so he can apply super quick.

The automation itself doesn’t earn $20,000/month – it helps Nick find and apply for jobs that earn him that much 😎

You can see from his Upwork profile that he’s legit…

  • Article Writer, Content Writer, Copywriter, SEO Specialist – $52.50/hr
  • AI Developer & Process Automation Engineer | Make, Zapier, GPT-4, Node – $117.50/hr

The profile shows that he’s earned $400K+ overall, and it looks like he only started in 2021.

💬 Nick says in the video…

Average value of a lot of my Upwork contracts for automations and operations is probably around $2,000 but every once in a while one will come by that’s like $15K. 

Or maybe it’s a recurring relationship where now I have a bunch of clients that have been paying me $3,000-$6,000 for the last half year.

Often he’ll record a screencast to go with a job application…

If it even gives me a 1% higher likelihood of getting it, by recording a quick little Loom video that takes me like literally two minutes, then I’m going to do it…

This system allows me just to do all of that while also still maintaining high velocity.

Excellent example of using AI and automation to operate at a high level 💪

That said, you should be great at your craft before setting up something like this.

As Bill Gates once said…

The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.

Also, even if you prefer to do things manually yourself, keep in mind that more and more of your competitors are going to be using AI and automations like this to get ahead 😕
