It’s worth it (currently $14.99 / month)  \nThe pro version gets you ‘connects’ each month (which are used to apply to jobs) and other benefits like the ability to see your competitors bids on projects!  \nRemember, investing in yourself is a key to success.  \nPaid Plan Includes:  \n- 70 Connects per Month (4-6 connects let you apply to jobs on average)  \n- The ability to buy additional connects for cheaper  \n- Rollover privileges so that up to 140 unused connects can be carried over to the following billing cycle  \n- Visibility into their competitor’s high, low, and average bids on the jobs. This is huge because you can learn what to set your rate at  \n- The ability to create a customized URL for your Upwork freelancer profile  \n- The ability to hide earnings on your freelancer profile  \n© Paul Mendes, [zerotomastery.io](zerotomastery.io)  \nYour Profile  \nYour profile is basically your online resume. Your work history, picture, video etc.  \nFill out your entire profile to the max. Especially, when you are first getting started, you need to make up for your lack in reviews.  \nWhat Your Profile Includes  \n● Photo (make it a professional photo)  \n● Name, Job Title  \n● Bio/ Overview section (Think of it as a cover letter)  \n● Video (have a video overview, or a video about your skill set)  \n● Dollars/hour (make as high as marketable)  \n● Availability (always leave this open, you need to keep your pipeline full)  \n● Response time (Speed is imperative) Response time will show on your profile  \n● Profile Link  \n● Languages (chose native, not fluent)  \nHow To Create Popular Projects on Your Profile  \nClick the pencil button to edit and build common jobs out.  \nThis makes your profile look more complete and can showcase some of your most common services.  \nThis is a somewhat new feature so by using it you can get ahead of some of the competition and stand out to more clients.  \n© Paul Mendes, [zerotomastery.io](zerotomastery.io)  \nGood Reviews are Vital for Your Success  \nYour Upwork profile will also display all your reviews from previous projects on the platform.  \nThis occurs when you complete a job and both the freelancer and the client leave eachother feedback and a rating. Ratings are based on a 5 star scale and also include a written portion which is optional but highly encouraged.  \nRemember that your reputation is everything. Build it and then protect it.  \nPortfolio  \nYour portfolio consists of case studies, reports, and screenshots from your previous experience.  \nThese are created by you and don’t necessarily have to come directly from Upwork.  \nThe idea is to display previous successes you have had as a freelancer to encourage clients to hire you.  \nCase Studies  \n>> Refer to the Case Study Blueprint Bonus PDF \u003C\u003C  \nCase studies appear in the ‘Portfolio’ section of your Upwork Profile.  \nI highly recommend building out 2-4 case studies using my Case Study Blueprint handout sheet.  \nListing of Your Skills  \nChoose up to 10 skills when building your profile. These can always be changed, but are important because they impact your experience.  \nThese are the skills that show on your profile as well as the skills which populate your home feed of Upwork.  \n© Paul Mendes, [zerotomastery.io](zerotomastery.io)  \nBe sure to only list skills you can deliver work on currently, and not skills you are still working on developing.  \nCertifications  \nCertifications are a great way to stand out from the competition and build credibility with future clients.  \nGet any certifications that are affordable and accessible to you based on your skillset. This will not only improve your Upwork profile, but it will also build your expertise.  \nTo add a certification you must send proof to an Upwork pr","cbCaippwn5r9EALu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaippwn5r9EALu","pdf",451654,7,"English","# Upwork Walk-Through\n## To Sign Up on Upwork\n## Free vs. Paid Plan\n## Your Profile\n## How To Create Popular Projects on Your Profile\n## Good Reviews are Vital for Your Success\n## Portfolio\n## Case Studies\n## Listing of Your Skills\n## Certifications\n## Employment History\n## Education\n## Other experiences\n## Profile Settings\n## Visibility\n## Experience Level\n## Categories\n## Linked Accounts\n## Specialized Profiles","[{\"question\":\"How do you sign up for Upwork and complete verification?\",\"answer\":\"Go to Upwork.com, click Get Started, choose Find work as a freelancer, fill out the sign-up form, then complete the verification process.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the Paid Upwork plan include compared with Free?\",\"answer\":\"The Paid plan provides monthly connects, benefits like the ability to see competitors’ bid information, rollover privileges for unused connects, and additional options such as a customized freelancer profile URL and hiding earnings.\"},{\"question\":\"What should be included in an Upwork freelancer profile to attract clients?\",\"answer\":\"Fill out the full profile with a professional photo, name and job title, a bio/overview, video, appropriate dollars/hour, availability, response time, profile link, and selected languages; also edit popular projects to look more complete.\"}]","Upwork Walk-Through - The Complete Guide to Freelancing | PDF",1789297530]
