The Viagra of freelancing

Schwing scwhing!

Lol… I was listening to a podcast last night on the way home from the gym and the guy interjected with an ad about this stuff called “Blue Chew”. Apparently, it’s an ED pill like Viagra and Cialis, but a chewable gummy.

Anyway, don’t care about the product.

It was this guy’s ad.

He’s like… “Get Blue Chew and use my coupon code so whenever you get… ahem… you know, you’ll think of me.”

I almost spit my post-workout McDonald’s all over my truck.

Now, THAT is an ad!

Anyway, in my warped head… I immediately thought, “Hmmm… what’s the Viagra of freelancing?” I mean, I want to write a cool ad like that!

Truthfully, though, there is one.

When most people first see it… well, let’s just say there’s no need for Blue Chew. Thousands of clients, millions in new client work… all there, wallets in hand, ready to hand it over to the right person.

No need to network.

Or, do a bunch of content marketing.

Or, wait weeks or months for your first client.

They’re right there… in droves… ready to hire you.

Schwing, schwing indeed!

Of course, I’m talking about Upwork. The world’s largest freelancing platform that averages over 8,000 new projects and 2.7 milly in new client work posted to the site every single day.

Boing!

Problem is… it’s competitive. Like a pretty girl walking into a Dungeons and Dragons party… there’s millions of freelancers fighting over every job on the site. You have to compete and win — often against some really good freelancers.

Especially hard when you’re new on the platform.

And, don’t have a… ahem… big job history.

Or, a massive Job Success Score.

That’s where I come in — cheesy smile and all. I teach a method of building your profile on Upwork that’s based on the science behind Upwork’s matching algorithm — the system it uses to match clients and freelancers.

Specifically, the three tests Upwork puts you through when you’re new.

And, how to pass those tests.

So Upwork shows you to more potential clients and ensures those clients are highly likely to want to view your profile and hire you. When you build your profile the way I show you, it’s like getting a shot of Cialis straight into your veins.

[Cue explosion sound effects].

Anyway, believe and do what you want.

Maybe new client dysfunction isn’t a problem for you.

If so, more power to you.

But, if Upwork gets you a little sweaty in the shorts and you’d like to learn how to turn on the spigot of new clients it can send your way, check out my R2 Protocol course (and read the reviews from other students).

May be just what you need.

I started this 3 days ago, following John’s suggestions, and I gained the Upwork Rising Talent badge in less than 2 days. I have a call with my first potential client tomorrow. Thanks, John!

John is the man! I followed his steps and I am flooded with interviews in a week. I got into two Talent clouds. The very next day, I got an invitation from the talent specialists from Upwork and a lot more. I wanna shout out, he is the best in this. Thanks John for helping me out!

After viewing John’s course, I made an Upwork account and it got approved the same day. Amazingly, I got my first job the very same day, I couldn’t believe it, I thought maybe I got it by coincidence. Anyways I completed the job and received my first earnings. Then, after two days, I got another job and within a week I got 3 jobs and completed them successfully. All the things he says seem to be minute but have a very great impact on your freelancing career.

I’ve been in an existential crisis for the last week about what the heck I’m doing as a business owner. Even though I’ve been a business for about a year, I’m constantly trying to think of how to prune and refine services. This was very personable and enjoyable to watch. Usually, business courses like this are dry and hard to get through…. repeating the same things over and over again. This was a breath of fresh air. THANK YOU.

I’ve definitely learnt so much in 2.5 hours than I’d learn watching different videos online on Youtube and reading tons of articles on the web. John has a natural way of teaching, where he is passionately diving in the topics and he makes it very easy to grasp — someone who wants you to really start running your business well by learning about the right tools and implement them in your online business. I will definitely share with many of the people I know who have been struggling for so long, I did find my answers and I’m sure will do too.

I have been following John Morris for several years now. His instruction ranges from beginner to advanced, to CEO-level guidance. I have referred friends and clients to John, and have encouraged my own daughter to pay attention to what he says. All of his teachings create wealth for me (and happiness for my clients!) I can’t speak highly enough about John, his name is well known in my home.

John is a fantastic and patient tutor, who is not just able to share knowledge and communicate it very effectively – but able to support one in applying it. However, I believe that John has a very rare ability to go further than just imparting knowledge and showing one how to apply it. He is able to innately provoke one’s curiosity when explaining and demonstrating concepts, to the extent that one can explore and unravel their own learning journey. Thanks very much John!

John has been the most important person in my freelance career ever since I started. Without him, I would have taken 10 or 20 years more to reach the position I am at now (Level 2 seller on Fiverr and Top Rated on Upwork).
