Why did I stop working with a client who was ready to give me $100 for the project? The previous month, I got a client from Fiverr who needed help with writing some Quora answers and giving her company some reviews. We initially settled on a price of $55 but as I progressed, the workload started to feel a little too much. I made her understand the complete proposition, and after some to and fro, she was ready to pay me $100, given I do some extra work, too. But I quickly realised it wasn't going to work out. What she was expecting and what I could deliver was very different. We were not on the same page. As soon as I realised that, I let her know it all. I told her that this was not going as I had thought, and it was in her best interest, too, to end working on this project with me. We settled on 40 dollars for all the work I'd put in. I still lost a good $60, but I couldn't have been happier with what I did when I could have easily manipulated her and extracted the whole amount. Lesson learnt: communicate with the client, be honest and if you can't deliver the results they are expecting, let them know and discuss how you should proceed further.

I was once an affiliate marketer! And let me tell you Maina, I was one of those people that didn’t have luck in affiliate marketing. But I wasn’t giving up, I kept on doing it. But to no luck. I was stressed since there were a few people who did well. The first company I was in was GIF, Global Internet Fortunes For those who know about it. I tried like 3 more, But nothing worked out. Given that I wasn’t in school, I just became stressed and left it. The most unfortunate thing is that I was in the dark, Even when covid came, I wasn’t aware of the digital skills, All I knew about was affiliate marketing and not everything about it. So I was just at home doing nothing. Tried to apply for jobs but never got lucky. After some time, I got a job as a Sales Representative, Where I didn’t last long in. Fare became an issue and I had to drop out of it. And that’s where depression kicked in. But no one knew. Three years with no knowledge of online skills, And just at home was not good. 2023 came, I got into a 2 month training on Digital Freelancing, That’s where my light was at even after aspiring to be a Chef. After the training was over, And we got into the mentorship part, I got recognized as an active student, I was taken in as a Peer Mentor, Then all the way to a paid Mentor, Late last year, The pressure was a lot, And I still felt that I wasn’t in my place, So I decided to quit, And start as a full-time freelancer in 2024, A freelancer who didn’t know what she was going to focus on. But luckily, I found my way out, My way out not only as a Virtual Assistant, But I decided to nitch down to a LinkedIn Manager and Copywriter. I also didn’t know that I’d get clients so fast. My goal this year was to become a freelancer, Upskill, Read books, And attend almost all networking sessions! And I feel happier than before. Have you ever had transformational moments? Let’s chat in the comment section. Ps. The 2020 picture was when I tried to dress well and go to the studio for my profile as an affiliate marketer! Pps. If you’re wondering how you’ll manage your Li account and you’re still working, or how you’ll have content ready for your account, look no more. Hit my DM with the word READY to get started! #throwbackthursday #20daylinkedinchallengewithhaoma #linkedinmanager #creativecontentwriting #contentcreator #copywriter #upskilling #shareyourstorywithmuthoni

Optimizing your Upwork profile doesn’t automatically get you a job or invites. This is the harsh truth some freelancers do not want to hear. I’ll break this down in a recruiter’s point of view for you. I have done several recruitments on Upwork for my clients, and in these periods, I had only gone for freelancers who met my expectations. When a client goes to Upwork, they use keywords to search for freelancers, these keywords are simply the skills and services these freelancers offer. If I’m a customer service representative, my hot keywords are email support, phone support, online chat support, customer relationship management, customer service, customer service representative, customer support, customer satisfaction, etc. Let’s say I’m a client looking for freelancers to hire, after typing “customer service” in the search bar, several freelancers will pop up, and I’ll scroll through, looking for the best fit. Upwork pushes some freelancer profiles first, while others are shown on the next pages, and this doesn’t mean that the other profiles are not good or not revamped or qualified to work. Upwork runs a business, and of course would recommend profiles according to how well these profiles do on their platform, to keep them in business. Also, by the left hand side of the search platform, Upwork has a list of keywords I can select to narrow my search further as a client, and these keywords include skills, services, and different badges on Upwork including the rising talent badge (this is also why new freelancers who get this rising talent badge may get invites if the employer is looking for new talents to hire) that the freelancers I’m looking to hire, possess. There are processes to clients sending invites, and yes, you can get an invite with a properly optimized profile especially when your profile description is also very compelling and interesting, but please have it at the back of your mind that freelancers who have gotten jobs, completed their jobs, and have gotten good reviews, will be recommended by Upwork for more invites. At the end of the day, revamp your profile because you want it to standout, and of course attract clients, but don’t raise your hopes because you’ve done revamping because you may or may not get invites. I have been revamping Upwork profiles for years, and I know for sure that freelancers expect some magic to happen after revamping, and I’m telling you that magic doesn’t happen, clients reach out because they want to, and they keep reaching out when they find you’re a better fit than the previous or next person. Sometimes, people get invites months after revamping, and no, their profile isn’t t*errible. Some people don’t even bother about writing good cover letters because they’ve done revamping. Revamp your profile so that whenever a client visits your profile, they’ll find it worthy, but also apply for jobs instead of waiting for invites only. Are you following Josephine Umana?

Level 2 seller again after rejoining fiverr.. Its been months I quite fiverr on a seller Level 2 and last few days I reopened my fiverr profile and fix my schedule on it. I had 70+ completed orders and 50+ reviews. The reason I quite it was because I wanted to do a work on my Youtube and wanted to learn new skills in motion graphics and digital art. To do that, I needed full concentration, So i gave my profile to one of my friend but he was not able revive it. So, I took back my profile and finally obtained my LvL2 badge again in few days. Now I will improve my gigs and make new gigs as well. I am working on a very certain video for past week especially for my freelancing work. So, hopefully it will give me some boost in fiverr. Old gigs are dead in my profile, Give me some ideas how should I revive them again... I was getting 20k impressions before but now hardly hundred. Any idea you can give me will be helpful. Here my profile : fiverr.com/angryzee #fiverr #level2seller #fiverrlevel #new #GIG

Turning Early Losses into Success When I started on Upwork, I faced a tough lesson due to a lack of preparation. A client scheduled a live test, and I wasn't ready. Competing against others, I didn't get the job. This experience taught me the importance of preparation and skill development. Now, with strong abilities, clients see my competence through my portfolio and don't require tests This rejection was a wake-up call. ↱ Preparation is Key ↱ Continuous Skill Development ↱ Learn from Mistakes ↱ Confidence in Your Abilities ↱ Adapt and Overcome P.S. If you're new to Upwork, remember every experience is a stepping stone. Learn and grow with each opportunity. Keep pushing forward! #FreelanceJourney #UpworkExperience #LessonsLearned #StayPrepared #ContinuousImprovement #FreelanceSuccess #SkillDevelopment #ClientConfidence

Why did I leave Fiverr? I started freelancing in 2020 when I began my graduate degree. Fiverr is one the leading freelancing platforms where you can get clients easily if you know the algorithm of Fiverr and optimize your gigs according to that. My first Fiverr seller account was disabled in 2021 with active orders of $1700. At that point I was depressed. 😫 I decided to start another account. Unfortunately, that got disabled too. 💔 (The reason of account was disabled is “Location inconsistency”) Biggest mistake: I relied only on Fiverr and didn't try to find clients from platforms like LinkedIn, Upwork, etc. Due to my study, I didn't focus on other platforms as there are difficulties in managing all profiles. In May 2024 I decided to leave Fiverr because: ➡ There is no security. ➡ Fiverr is buyer-sided. It will favor buyers 99 times of 100. ➡ Buyers can charge back even after the order is complete and Fiverr will deduct money. ➡ Buyers can cancel an order even after getting to work. ➡ A lot of spam messages. ➡ Fiverr can delete your gig after 1 year by saying that “services you offered are prohibited for the community”. ↪ Insane more than 5000 gigs are offering the same service. 💡 Keep in mind the following: Do not depend entirely on Fiverr. P. S: What’s your experience? #Fiverr #fiverrplatform #fiverrsupport #Tipsregardingfiverr
