$300,000 a Year Via Upwork

Sam Hill
  • Sam Hill

  • Founder of Ecom CFO
  • $300,000 annual earnings via upwork

That’s Sam Hill’s story on the Tropical MBA podcast 🎧

Sam used to be a senior associate at PwC, hired out at $350/hour. To get his first gigs on Upwork, he charged only $45/hour.

The universe doesn’t care about your corporate controller or that you were a consultant or investment banker or whatever. Like that is a totally different world and it doesn’t play in ‘entrepreneur land’

I loved Sam’s goal of sending 20 proposals a week on Upwork. He reset the number to 20 every Monday and made sure he got it to zero by the end of the week.

He also shares on the podcast that putting together a pitch deck and using loom videos in his proposals helped him stand out and win jobs.
