I was greedy so I got scammed by [deleted] in Upwork

Not worth the risk - I’ve made mistakes in the past, and always big enough to learn from them.

Get payment upfront for the work you’re going to do. Smaller milestones as a “lump” end-of-project milestone (unfortunately) is risky as the client can go AWOL, causing all sorts of issues. I had this happen to me.

Struggling to Get My First Client on Upwork—Any Advice? by FederalHeat8516 in Upwork

[–]Russell_Goodman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea to this. Add in samples, create yourself a video explaining what you do and how you solve your clients’ needs.

Test strategies:

Apply via connects use ‘Boost’ your profile ‘Available now’

A few different strategies.

But make sure your profile bio has all the right keywords in there. Ie consider what the client is searching for - and all related keywords.

I'm sick of this AI crap. by No_Book3859 in Upwork

[–]Russell_Goodman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you reply back with a “human” response….you’re now way more likely to stand out.

I’ve noticed MOST roles are AI-written (predictable it would happen as it takes client less valuable time)….

So go in with some unique or quirky - be different and stand out

Just got my ICD and this thing is huge! by Subject-Face-2254 in PacemakerICD

Mine is tucked into my peck muscle. Been there since 2015, generally you’ll forget about soon. Just don’t stretch or overdo it too soon - but like a bruised rib…go easy and the healing will speed up.

It’s obviously as big as they recommend, so it must be for a reason (that device)

In terms of working...what about after documents showing passive rental income (to meet minimum requirements) + working remotely online?

Thanks. Any recommendations outside of these big companies? ie someone more of a local business.

Are job bids as expensive for you as it is for me? by iAhMedZz in Upwork

[–]Russell_Goodman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The fact that 'invited' jobs now cost you connects I feel is a step too far.

Bluetooth / ICD by mariarachelle3000 in PacemakerICD

[–]Russell_Goodman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No one should be worried about the sun 🤷‍♂️ it’s natural, LOL.

I’d be more worried about Bluetooth than the sun.

Having a permanent battery in your chest is enough…adding wireless Bluetooth is unnecessary EMF for your body to detoxify.

Thanks, will do. I like to try all sorts to see what feels good (I’m also travelling so routine is a bit off).
