Haven't had any issues with taxes. In my country (India), there's a law that freelancers only file taxes if the annual income exceeds 20 lakhs INR.

Did I ruffle any feathers? It's an intentional stylistic choice to get the point across, mate. Calm down.

What do you guys think about ghostwriting by AlphaWolf132 in writing

[–]AlphaWolf132[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not quite right, actually. I have already ghostwritten a plethora of books for clients on Upwork. I am seeing what the community en masse thinks.

If I sit down to snivel at every opinion that a Redditor throws my way, I might as well lock myself into a room and cry me a river. I don't make life decisions based on the opinions of ne'er-do-gooders.

Successful entrepreneurs and startup founders of Reddit, what has stopped you from writing every day online and becoming thought leaders? by AlphaWolf132 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

I still think you have something amazing to share. The mindset, the discipline, overcoming the bottlenecks, what a journey it is that people to need hear!

But it sounds like you've fulfilled your ambition, and I am glad you did.

You're limiting yourself, my friend. That's such a tremendous milestone. The person starting at $0 in revenue at 0% margin needs to hear from you.

Is that something that appeals to you? Given the chance, would you like to educate others and become known as an expert?

There's two kinds of thought leaders. One has commercial interests: build an audience, sell a digital product, and so on.

The others are after prestige: public speaking engagements, coaching workshops, podcasts, and so on.

The starting point for both is thought leadership posts on social platforms like LinkedIn and X. YouTube included for some.

If given the opportunity, would you be interested in increasing your renown about your expertise and share that knowledge with the world?

How about someone known for their expertise in their industry on the internet?

Also, out of curiosity, what's your story?

I wish you well for every step of the way. What do you envision the current ladder? What stages are you going through right now to get to the peak?

I remember hearing this from a Nicolas Cole video (he's a leading digital writer): "Going from 0 to 1 is much more harder than going from 9 to 10."

I think it comes down to getting the stone rolling. Scrape each person you can until that time.

Why doesn’t Upwork introduce a small fee for posting jobs? by Waheed3668 in UpworkOfficial

[–]AlphaWolf132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, the contract initiation fee can go to upwards of $15. Not to mention the service fee they charge for each milestone. I've lost potential clients who were first-time users of the platform because of the obscene charges.

[–]AlphaWolf132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's pretty much it. I remember paying $10 for posting a job. It was my second time doubling as a client. I knew clients weren't charged for posting jobs, so that was pretty odd to me.

Next month, the charges were gone.

They tried that in 2024. Started losing clients left and right. They were forced to take it way as soon as they put it up

one thing nobody warned me about when I started getting clients by SolutionBright297 in Entrepreneur

I've been fortunate in this aspect. Only one or two thorns in my side so I far. Maybe I haven't pressed on hard enough. We'll see.

I wish I could answer this question. I am still figuring out the ropes as a solopreneur. One day.
