From #10,000 to over $90,000 in earnings!

Whatever you're earning now might be small, but keep going.

The principle of compound interest works everywhere, as long as you put in enough work and time for it to yield.

Meet me at the top, I'll see you there!

Celebrate wins, big and small!
Every step forward counts, and people love to see growth.

Your progress is worth sharing—don’t shrink yourself!

[Messiah Ekaette @MessiahEkaette1]

Show, don’t tell.
Let your work, results, and testimonials do the talking. Authenticity beats empty words any day

[Messiah Ekaette @MessiahEkaette1]

Make it about value, not vanity.

Instead of saying, “I made $5k in a month,” say, “I helped my client 3X their revenue, and in return, I hit my first $5k month.”

"If you don’t talk about your value, people will assume you have none."

Bragging isn’t arrogance—it’s marketing yourself. Share your wins with confidence!

Don’t just search for jobs under ‘Find Work’ on Upwork.

I always use the ‘Search for jobs’ bar with these filters:
- Payment Verified
- At least 1 to 9 hires (I also check 10+ hires)

It saves me from time-wasters and scams.

[Messiah Ekaette @MessiahEkaette1]

@just_tolulope_ Yup! Thanks

[Messiah Ekaette @MessiahEkaette1]

I used to get excited and pitch without checking client details.

Not anymore. Now, I’m picky. I use filters, check reviews, and stay on Upwork till contracts are signed.

Better safe than sorry.

[Messiah Ekaette @MessiahEkaette1]

What if you get scammed on Upwork?

You could try reaching out to support, but honestly... the best move is to avoid it in the first place.

Be smart. Be cautious.

[Messiah Ekaette @MessiahEkaette1]

One major red flag on Upwork?
A client’s history full of bad reviews.
I always check their past projects before applying. It’s saved me from headaches more than once! 🚩

[Messiah Ekaette @MessiahEkaette1]

I got scammed on Upwork once—never again.
Now, I never take conversations outside the platform until a contract is in place. Lesson learned.

[Messiah Ekaette @MessiahEkaette1]

@LawalBukar1 You're welcome

[Messiah Ekaette @MessiahEkaette1]

Not every job is worth pitching for. I only apply when:

1. I can research the client.
2. I can tailor my pitch to their needs.
3. I see long-term value.

Being picky isn't limiting—it’s how you land better, high-paying gigs.

[Messiah Ekaette @MessiahEkaette1]

Freelancing isn’t a numbers game.

It’s a strategy game.

Pitch wisely, read carefully, and be intentional. That’s how you win on Upwork (or anywhere).

[Messiah Ekaette @MessiahEkaette1]

Freelancing isn’t about applying to everything—it’s about applying to the right things.

I only pitch when I can personalize my approach. Quality > Quantity.

[Messiah Ekaette @MessiahEkaette1]

The difference between struggling freelancers & successful ones? - Attention to detail.

Most skim job posts & send generic proposals. I take time to understand the client’s needs before pitching.

Small habits make a BIG difference. Stay intentional!

[Messiah Ekaette @MessiahEkaette1]

Most freelancers struggle on Upwork because they don’t stand out.

Here’s my simple strategy:
📌 Read job posts carefully.
📌 Pitch like you mean it.
📌 Be selective with jobs.

Throwing random proposals won’t cut it—be intentional!

[Messiah Ekaette @MessiahEkaette1]

No is a complete sentence: Not every project is worth it. Trust your gut.
