Upwork Freelancer Tutorial Series: How to Make Money Online Selling Your Services on Upwork.com

Learning from a working freelancer

This tutorial series is presented by a freelancer who built a business on Upwork from scratch and shares the process in a first-person, step-by-step style. The creator is explicit that the series is independent and not affiliated with the platform, which is useful context when weighing the advice.

The steps it walks through

• Signing up and creating a freelancer account
• Building a profile and portfolio that present your services
• Searching for jobs and applying with tailored proposals
• Handling interviews, offers and the other stages of landing work

A practical way to follow along

Because each stage builds on the last, work through the videos in order and set up your own account as you go. You will learn more from the interface than from watching it, and the proposal and interview stages are where most first-time freelancers need the most practice.
