Dear Friend,

If you’re new to Upwork or you’ve tried it in the past and never landed any clients, then you’ll want to learn more about an online course from veteran freelancer and Upworker, John Morris, that just might be…

• A loophole in Upwork’s algorithm (publicly admitted to by their former VP of Product and Marketing) that gives new freelancers a real and significant advantage over even the most experienced freelancers on the platform.  (It’s real and it’s powerful, but it also only happens for a short time. And, if you don’t take advantage of it while it’s there, Upwork will dead your profile and likely kick you off the platform. I show you what it is and the exact steps you need to take in order to take advantage of it).

• A counter-intuitive way to write your profile title (stumbled on by Facebook and it’s big brother-esque ad machine) that can help you not only rise rapidly to the top of Upwork’s search and suggestion listings, but also grab potential client’s by the ear hole and make them click on your profile to check you out. (Getting to page 1 of the search and suggestion listing in Upwork is the single biggest thing you can do to get more clients… and this title technique can help you do that.)

• A proposal-writing technique patterned after FBI profilers that helps you zero in on exactly what a client needs to see AND hear in your proposal to immediately want to hire you. (When you master this technique, Upwork can literally become “hit send, make money”. It’s that powerful.)

• The “David Blaine” method of writing your profile overview that konks potential clients over the head with believability… so they actually read, believe and trust what you say — and want to hire you. (Every client comes to your profile assuming your full of s***. But, do this and they’ll be eating out of your hand and much more likely to hire you.)

• An obvious, but often overlooked, way to build your portfolio (modeled after the tactic Leonardo DaVinci used to get patrons)… even if you have no past client work. (Your portfolio will do 90% of the selling for you — good and bad. Use the method I show you and you’ll have a full portfolio of high quality work your clients will salivate over — regardless of whether or not you have any past client work.)

• My stupid simple method for pricing project bids. (Everybody else makes this complicated as hell — and, even then, they’re still just guessing. I’ll show you the radically simple way I price my bids and why this is the least important part of your proposal.)

• Exactly what to say in the first two lines of your proposal to grab a client’s attention and get them to read your entire proposal word-for-word. (Just getting your proposal read is 90% of the battle. I’ll show you exactly what to say to make sure your proposals get read.)

• How to spot the subtle hints clients will leave in their job description that tell you exactly what to write in your proposal to get hired. (Clients will telegraph what they want to hear, but most freelancers don’t know how to find these clues. I’ll show you how.)

• The “ladder method” for writing Upwork proposals. (This is a slick little way to “stack” proposals with little “touches” of influence that make a client FEEL like hiring you — without them consciously knowing why.)

• An almost laughably simple way to spot the “trigger” words in a client’s project description. (These are the key words you must repeat in your proposal to get a client’s attention and ensure they actually read what you write. I’ll show you how to easily spot them and how to use them in your proposal.)

• Instant Disqualifiers. The red flags I look for in every job description that will immediately disqualify a client from working with me. (This will save you months of heartache and frustration by helping you easily avoid all the douchebag clients that will make your life miserable and aren’t anywhere close to worth the money.)

• A devilishly clever way to identify the big money clients on Upwork that has nothing to do with search filters. (Everybody uses the search filters… which means you end up fighting over the same clients. This little trick will help you find the big money clients — who will re-hire you again and again and aren’t afraid to pay large project fees — that the search filters miss.)

• The 3-word conversation you want running through your client’s head after reading your proposal. (If you can get them to say these three words, your chances of getting hired can potentially double or even triple. And, if they aren’t saying these exact three words, you will never get hired. I’ll show what they are and how to guarantee your clients are saying them after reading your proposals.)

• A deceptively quick way to weed out all the details of a job description that don’t matter and hone in on the ones that do. (With this, you’ll rip through job descriptions quickly, pull out all the relevant details and knock out your proposal so you’re not spending all day, every day writing proposals.)

• My sneaky little proposal “fail-safe”. (This is how you can still radically increase your chances of getting hired even if you screw up all the other proposal-writing tricks in this list.)

• The “evil” behind Upwork’s approval algorithm and how to turn it on its head to slyly slip through the approval process.

• 11 unique ways to get your Upwork profile approved — that almost no YouTuber or blogger ever talks about.

• Upwork’s hard-nosed evaluation criteria. The 3 “tests” your profile must pass to get approved and a clever way to pass all three on your first shot.

• Upwork’s exclusive list of freelancers it’s actively looking to add to the platform right now and where to find it (Include one of these categories in your profile and you’ll dramatically increase your likelihood of getting a quick approval).

• The backwards way to set your experience level to get approved more easily (Most new Upworkers do the opposite of this and it’s a big red flag for Upwork’s algorithm. I’ll show you what to do instead).

• The perfect hourly rate to set for quick profile approval.

• Upwork’s “lazy freelancer” test — the sneaky way they test you to see if you’re lazy or a procrastinator — and a simple way to pass this test with flying colors when creating your profile
