Upwork freelancing guide: My e-books
To celebrate my 10th business anniversary in May 2024, I wrote ‘Go Straight for Coconuts, Part 1: How to Start Freelancing Without Ever Working for Peanuts’. I packaged everything I know about freelancing into a massive Upwork freelancing guide e-book!
This is the most comprehensive freelancing guide ever. And the best part: It’s written by an actual freelancer!
Part 2 which focuses on solopreneurship and more scalable business models than freelancing is on its way.
Additionally, as the most common request that I have been getting since the birth of this site (May 2019) has been tips for writing Upwork proposals, I edited a short, easily digestible version of ‘Go Straight for Coconuts, Part 1’ that focuses exclusively on the science and art of writing winning proposals.
If your only problem in freelancing is the lack of responses to your Upwork proposals, all you might need is ‘Upwork Proposal Mastery for Freelancers Who Refuse to Work for Peanuts’! It includes everything about the theory and 8 examples of real-world winning Upwork proposals.
This means that you’re only a couple of hours away from winning Upwork gigs!
(NOTE: All my books are written for those who learned English as a second language. Not too complicated, easy to understand, simple structure.)
LinkedIn freelancing guidebook (NEW!)
If Upwork or other freelance sites are not your thing, you could create a name for yourself on LinkedIn, the No. 1 professional social media platform!
Yes, LinkedIn is not just a job marketplace. In fact, trying to get jobs using the Job Search and application process LinkedIn supports is most likely waste of your time.
What you should do instead is:
- Build a personal brand without overdoing and spending much time on it.
- Create a LinkedIn profile that attracts potential clients!
- Connect with potential clients the right way… in fact, they will be happy to invite you to connect.
- Make sales without selling!
This e-book is a 58-page dynamite blast of LinkedIn tips covering every step from creating a compelling profile to making sales on LinkedIn.
As someone with over 30,000 followers on LinkedIn, I can recommend putting your efforts on LinkedIn as the prize is great! And it gets better over time.
You can create an efficient Sales Funnel using LinkedIn as your primary entry point just like I did. And the coconuts come within 2-3 weeks.
‘Freelancer’s Guide to Going Straight for Coconuts on LinkedIn’ shows you exactly how to get a business going on LinkedIn without paying anything or posting content!
