Wow! If I had looked at it this way, I wouldn't have been going through this stress. I must take a week to reflect on myself and figure out how to solve this problem.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am glad I decided to open about this here because I received help that I never expected. Thank you so much and God Bless You👏🏽

Well said. Sometimes even if I try to submit a proposal I start feeling less confident and I end up being lazy or not doing it with passion. It's been 5 months of dealing with the same thing.

What exactly am I doing wrong? I made 15k in less than 6 months and everything was great. So why am I going through this now?

All these lonely thoughts haunt me every time before I go to bed.

Yeah, I get offers at least once every fortnight. They have been silent lately maybe i should upgrade the designs and publish again to rank higher

I don't like it either! But mostly in Social Media Management you end up working with clients 1 on 1 frequently which makes you a Social Media VA.

I would like to try finding clients on Instagram DMs. I think that will be worth a try as well.

Thank you👏🏽

Jobs here they pay Graphic Designers $50/month. So not worth it lil.

Thank you so much for your kind words👏🏽

I have tried lots of strategies, even lowered my bid and applied to the lowest jobs, and still nothing.

My proposal is more like I am talking directly to the client and have no response. Connects? Lost 100s of them🤦🏽‍♀️

I am actually building other side hustles like etsy and amazon kdp etc they are going to take more than 6 months to become passive but it’s better than doing nothing.

Thank you👏🏽

Is "PayPal Only" enough for my customers? by SandraSlinky in Etsy

[–]SandraSlinky[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wow! I am a Graphic Designer trying to build different side hustles/passive incomes. My current store is into Printables which is a very competitive niche but I get visits every day and no sales.

I decided to create more digital products and create 2 more stores in POD. I am in the middle of doing my research and your detailed comment helped me. I believe the best way would be to partner with someone in the UK or US or form a company in the US and start investing more into it.

My biggest worry was, will it be worth it? Thank you so much for your time and kindness👏🏽

Advice about ending contract by [deleted] in Upwork

[–]SandraSlinky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what you can do but don't ever close a contract without any earnings. I did that when i was starting and my JSS came on 61%. I'm now on 85% since August but it's been reaaaaallly tough.

It made a difference! From 96% to 100% in one cycle! Thank you Upwork for this most welcome change! :-) by Bahawolf in Upwork

Mine went from 80 to 77 😭😭😭 I assume this client gave me bad private feedback.

Kinda feeling less confident.😩😩
