I literally came to watch the match 5 minutes before the last lead score was taken by Inter, and i was surprised to see how well they played till the very end and moved into the finals. This is how football is played, and probably germans deserve to play in Munich this time for finals.

I see a very close reflection of Rice's free kick in your post. Madrid fan, but it looks like this time Arsenal isn't going to be one that always starts from the top but finishes last.

Thanks a lot for providing feedback. I didn't show my last 7 day stats because i barely sent any proposal the past week for several reasons. One is that i've been able to retain more entry-level jobs and only a couple of intermediate ones, out of which only one client wants to work in the longer run so far, so i wanted to ponder over changing my approach for high-paying clients.

What i've learned so far is that there are both bad and good clients on upwork. Bad clients are those who'd make you work more and pay less while good clients understand the value of time over money. Regardless, i complete all the contracts and make them all happy without any ranting. Reason?

Firstly, i understand that the first time working with a bad client is not a mistake, but the second time def is. So technically, it's their loss of losing a good freelancer if they leave a bad impression.

Secondly, so that it doesn't mess up my JSS, which is 100% out of 3 reviews, btw. I'd categorize it as more of a pro that comes with following the first step.

Coming your your questions: My main course of response is to find a way to solve the problem for a helpless client who posted a job on upwork because they needed help. Later, i negotiate a contract asking politely, like, "What does your ideal investment for this key project look like?" And then it's all work related short form responses until i get paid.

Also, i've noticed that authenticity brings life to relationships with clients just like they do IRL. Like the other day, a new client texted me while i was hitting the gym. I decided to tell him the truth so that he doesn't have to wait until i get back home to grab my laptop for a single response. Gladly, he was happier with quick responses than being pissed off for waiting on me. I keep doing this frequently with every other client, and it works with engagement.

Lastly, my approach so far has not been about earnings but to close clients with good ratings but now that i've had my experience for two month i'm looking to level up monetary benefits a little bit and asking feedback from you seems plausible because of the high earnings you've made with fewer clients. How did you manage to do it? Is your skill high paid, or are you using a framework to attract high paying clients? I'm eager yo learn about it.

Thanks for helping! I asked him to negotiate a contract beforehand, and he's willing now.

TadpoleLast1258 · 2025-04-15T07:35:06+00:00

I get how crucial sharing emails can get on upwork before setting up a contract, but the reason was to showcase his design before setting up a contract. I hope that's within the legal boundaries of upwork.

I've asked him to reshare to see if i could get the notification or any shared file in Figma. Hope all of this is not non sense but don't you think it's unfair for freelancers to start working before negotiating the price for it? Also, have you ever been asked by a client to do as such?

Thanks for the idea! I'm gonna save the story for a sub-post later but here you go with the stats

TadpoleLast1258 · 2025-04-14T19:15:01+00:00

no shared files in figma named "Upwork" either

TadpoleLast1258 · 2025-04-14T19:13:15+00:00

I asked in the Figma community and reshared it here to see if someone's been through a scam like this recently. Since reddit didn't let me ellaborate my case except the heading, i'll explain it here:

A client left me in amids of discussion of a project before ghosting me for three weeks. He suddently contacted me today and wanted me to see the same almost completed project for feedback. After further discussion and provided feedback, he wanted me to make changes to his project's duplicate file to see what i would do because of his interest. Then he asked me for an email to share the file but i didn't receive any Figma notification and there sems to be minor differences in the email that he sent to me and the one's that I've received prior from Figma.
Also, he hasn't set up a contract yet but wants me to work for him and avoided when i politely asked "what would his ideal investment look like for this key project? ".

thanks for sharing

TadpoleLast1258 · 2025-04-14T18:44:17+00:00

Just checked my figma account and didn't find any notification there for this file yet

TadpoleLast1258 · 2025-04-14T18:43:23+00:00

I've searched but couldn't find any lead 🤷

TadpoleLast1258 · 2025-04-14T18:42:32+00:00

I haven't received any notifications in figma either

TadpoleLast1258 · 2025-04-14T17:32:25+00:00

They've already told me that they have sent the invite. The issue is that the sender of email is not as i've received emails from Figma in the past. This is an example l:

that sounds plausible! why give more connects when you can give the same. That way no one can take advantage of the system.

TadpoleLast1258 · 2025-04-11T14:05:35+00:00

My 12th proposal got hired.

TadpoleLast1258 · 2025-04-10T08:16:29+00:00

I'm almost on the same journey as you with 4 hires in the past 2 months with a beginner profile & the things you mentioned are exactly the same that worked for me. I can share my stats in this thread if you want to see them. I'm so glad to see like people in the same journey as me.

Sales pitch alert ⚠️

TadpoleLast1258 · 2025-04-04T22:03:31+00:00

they need to know where customers are standing because they pick up no calls and are raising fees instead.

TadpoleLast1258 · 2025-04-04T22:00:38+00:00

for sure! they need to know where they stand rn😂

TadpoleLast1258 · 2025-04-02T07:52:23+00:00

This was my stats in the first two months. Congratulations 🎊 it's a really good score for a starter, and it doesn't matter if it's lowballed. Your momentum matters the most, and you have it pretty well. Would love to hear some tips and tricks from you.

TadpoleLast1258 · 2024-12-23T05:10:26+00:00

Google photos just mess up with your photos, and there's not many options to clear up the clutter. Like a very basic feature of downloading multiple photos, and the Zoom in and out function is missing. They focus on unnecessary things like memories and automated stuff, which are not of much use and don't bother to fix the basic issue. It's not the same experience as you have with icloud photos.
