jobs yeah try to think about five to eight like five most cases and eight if you have very bad luck and what is going to happen let's see can I share my screen yeah all the way do it oh one second well where is the the option to share the spring [Music] all right try that oh that

they're reducing one second I'm gonna plug in my computer 95 baby oh wow you're 75 an hour yeah I put it there but again this feels like this is really respected so really anyways they have it up right yeah definitely because when people look for freelancers they are going to let's say I want to look for the

top freelancers alright not work to do something and this is something that I did when I got my accountant I immediately went for the people who were asking prices about $16 per hour because I was looking at a foreign accountant that was at least $100 per hour so in those cases studies that is where it really matters

anyways the thing we don't work is that many people will us you because of this number right and in the beginning you won't get it which it sucks so the first to get this number and this takes a little bit to get up data so for example even if you get your first videos right now and you'll

have five stars is going to take maybe a day or two days a month to get for this which says right through up here so the first steps that you have to take are pretty much in order to get this and you have to get like the best case that I have seen was a friend of mine

who got it which for jobs but is but most people get it at 5:00 and bad-luck ones get it at 8:00 it's like another if that they have Sephora so for any age ABS yeah so pretty much aim for five five years to where most people get it so something that you can do is that if you

you know already a couple of clients who can you can do like a very quick kind of job like let's say somebody wants to launch a podcast and you must agree to be as well like the logo for their podcast you can offer them like hey I can do your logo for the podcast for fifty dollars or

something like that which let me show you here right that was pretty much what we did to be the beginning guitar like offering your friends hey you know what I can do your intro forget the video for $50 and we got like a couple of those and that's how we got there reduce really fast so in the

beginning pretty much it was like that like I said finding friends of ours who we knew that they had preference a number and we told them like hey I can do this for you and just leave me like a really great reviews of work so that is a trick that you can use to get it really good

so quick any quick and easy jobs with friends yeah also when you get two or three jobs done and you get like five stars you might get selected to appear like a rising star so it's just so you're just like a savage beast so pretty much something but in order for homework to give you like yeah and

I need that I need to start using this platform kids for the marketplace all right yeah pretty much something that they can have okay so there it is rising talent so once you get like two or three jobs that have like five stars you can get this title of racing talent but in order to get it you

have to have your profile completely at 100% so this guy asked for jobs done in the yard these two are in progress so he just got two reveals right now and because of that he got this okay great so this is going to obviously help you get a little bit more jobs at the beginning but then pretty

much what happens is that you get the you get their success right here in the in the corner and it would get replaced so try to keep it up above 90% obviously because that's where most before are looking for and to get the top rated you will have to get like $1,000 or more in list and I

think he was three more on smart in the last three months so obviously if you get the $1,000 faster than that you can get these bastards that it has to be above $1,000 and again you have to have your whole profile completed and the upward readiness test pass as well got it all right what do you do

you need like how about this we'll do like a landing page for you for like cheapest cheap like what 100 100 bucks 200 bucks I don't care we'll do it can you give me a good review oh cool but definitely I don't have anything right now yeah no but how do you find out who's friends on the

platform well I have like I'm in a group of Facebook from a mastermind that I doing like a long time so I knew that all people their hand up you're high right there so I just went like hey I'm offering like this logo animated Lotus for YouTube channel so whatever you want to use it and this is

why I want to do so I just posted in there and we got it really fast all right I know you just posted so well like I'm just doing this for the first four people so having a little bit of scarcity there so you said the first how many people the first four people but I could permit

all right awesome sorry yes keep going so pretty much that's that's what we need to get the to get the first five reviews and the top rated again you will have to wait maybe three months or so in order to get it the profile has to be like one other four six eight you have to have the

word realest this pass you all your success rate has to be above 90% and you have to have above that $1000 but once you get there success rate like if it is about if you get like 100 percent success rate in you and if you do stock tips like you will get it you can start applying for

those really fast as well and something that I did is that I prayed in this filter so pretty much you can see here to fix prize numbers of proposals less than tens because if it is not and then especially if you don't have that operator it's not going to be working to apply to this once you had

a to Braden you will get selected ended like even if you apply a light you are going to be one of the top positions so that is something good to note so but I like to keep it less than that purpose of stems here's the budget in equine history an experiment so ever Oh a memory fight this

is very important if you see a fly in that listen have like every five payment I will just love to fly yeah okay so you can start looking here for the for the jobs obviously you can add more filters to it so I select the field that they were in nation you can like you look at the

areas that you want sorry same-same sir so the when you can have it right very right yeah I'm I'm thinking yeah so we can target like websites and okay so after this you send a message I got really public is pretty ready for this do you do this or do I have an assistant do it yeah I

have another another person doing I just think right now we are complete right for example if I do believe there is not much detailed awesome it's working okay that's great so I can speak here so have you gotten like bigger projects yeah to be honest look it's not yet we got a couple but then we got like

really full dollar so I after the challenge I pretty much know this right and so do they do you usually just have a call and then they hire you or what usually it's ultra shot oh great so there's no sales cause yeah there has been two people to have asked for a code obviously what that happens you

will have to be there but but usually it's just this like got it so I do you have like project managers answering for you and stuff I just have a friend of mine who is helping me out with this so and he is also like a video editor and animator so he's they were taking pretty much he

has just like a whole control of this window right and and so after probably like one or two projects to you do you like talk to your client about getting off the platform right now to be honest I haven't talked with any of them again like I started doing these we got the we got the top rated

but at the point we got the top Raider plus at the same time that I was getting a lot of cells so right I am under this right now but I'm planning on taking it back right got it cool and and so you just chat with the client through the platform mm-hmm and so it's pretty sure not

for free so you can I'm posting the group now to find out who's on up work so here is something important as well you have to be very careful how do you do this how do you take it off the platform because if you see it they have like another rhythm so if they use keywords like email

phone number PayPal I don't remember but they will mark you if they see this so you can if you're not careful you can get the recommend button man it's like a military operation huh yeah that's not fun that's why they that that's why people hate up work right yep yeah they're like stay safe like like we're grown

adults are we really gonna be in danger when we go off your platform no like you look at this this is something that people hated this happened not so long ago so let's say he's a break that was $40,000 right and and and for example something that happens that this is people off is that if the client

hasn't paid you let's say $500 then they either charge 10% they charge 20% so let's just well they say they reduced their percentage yeah let me see maybe maybe it is detecting the pieces like a bigger they're a bigger job or something like that okay so this donor so that's okay so if you see in this case

because you must less than $500 there are taking even work this is not temperature and this is 20% and this is and really see like if you work with a client and whatever you work with a client is less than I can the dollars they take 20 per second it fits those above five hundred dollars to ten

thousand dollars right take seven over $10,000 high percent but this one pretty much has up many free no answers because you know there are many projects where you can do like three please see jobs you see money people paying for very simple breaks that are below $500 and now you're losing 20% than that right because we have

like applied for breaks that we're like to have another but in reality we knew that it was only thirty dollars of cost yeah yeah yeah I think yeah I got this down I'll just connect the people on LinkedIn or something and then just have it on there yeah that is something that people do as well like try

to find it for example if you they have put the name of their business they find they look look it up for Google pretty much just on them and and when I hire sometimes I get their emails and you can take it from there that way yeah yes well screw up work but yeah I definitely do not

write to do it in this in inside the messages right or if you try to be very careful with the worst you use right so for example a nice trick that I was using in the beginning was that I was sending the URL to our wheel page for my website so now they were when they would wanted

to see that my real I would send the link and then will be the true reason of my confirmation as well so that was something I was doing in the beginning but then they started like tracking up with the outcome with him so if I posted like don't need a movie dummy that domain.com they will immediately detect

it so what I did was like pretty much space with a little bit so maybe instead of HTTP nobody really took it that out and just put print freaking studio space dot space conf and then the rest of the URL and and that way they needed detected and I just put it on out there like um I'm

separating these I'm putting some spaces because of worries use pretty much blocking this URL or something like that right so that is another way that you can do it you can have like a mini landing page for the people that you apply here right you can come on permission there so they came because thank you from outside

of work gotta alright so yeah and in your portfolio and stuff you can link to your site and stuff right yeah right cool awesome sweet so I did this page pretty much it think I shall be put to use and this is not a map inside any any of these so anytime they ask about my real site

will show this them and they will see the companies and all that and obviously I am the contact affiliation their stuff and then he releases where Elsa I said ice rink in your say looks pretty good thanks yeah and also some of these are the same testimonials that I got from Bob work so that is a good

thing that you can do as well because yeah you automate that are you just copy/paste no I have to copy pasted that be a nice old hack that right automated reviews yeah now that you mention it but I might look in severe maybe there is something there I'm sure you could write because it I'm sure it sends

you an email and then you could push the email to the website yeah so for example okay for people anyway okay so yeah so he was this client obviously I just changed my name to right right of course awesome yeah you should get you should start getting some statistics on the videos that will make that'll make everything

more compelling you know yeah definitely I try it I get but so far I don't know like my clients have been a little bit secretive about their metrics yeah I mean you should just tell him you don't you won't work with them unless they tell you because if you really are if you really want to make sure

they grow then you have to know the numbers all right yeah yeah so far since we have been only the production and we haven't liked the marketing services that's part of the reason why they they keep it up that way we may need to change that a little bit and fill out like the service for a little

bit the promotion right awesome though well is that is that pretty much it yeah pretty much

Keep going
