What is the difference between this and the other network feature?

[celgins]

I have the same question.

I remember the Create Your Network (Beta) back in 2021, so I'm not sure what is different.

Hi Jennifer and Clark, 

This is a beta feature and the same feature announced in the past. We’re working on making it available to everyone soon! In the meantime, if you don't have it yet, you can access the waitlist here.

Hi Avery,

Thank you for answering us. I was confused because it sounded like it was something new, but it seems it's the same thing. I'm in the beta, but thanks for clarifying.

[avi1023]

I used to have this feature and also connected with 2 people using it, but now I can't find it in my profile.

[virtualbrix]

Looks like they are promoting it on the dashboard now. Feelf ree to add me or let me know if you do not have access yet.

I can add you.

[lysis10]

oh was it not available to everyone before? I was just wondering if this was something different.

[virtualbrix]

Hey Jennifer, it was, but it was only open to certain users (top rated) but they are opening up to others now.

[williamtcooper]

Samer,

Please feel free to add me to your network. I have 165 people in my Network and will always add.

If anybody else wants to add me, please send the Network request.

[the-right-writer]

Just curious, how can you network with that many people? How do you get to know so many, what their skills are, and how you help each other?

[studioquixote]

Hello William. 

Thank you for the offer. I've sent the message to join. Good luck!

[virtualbrix]

Marko, added : )

[6bfcdaf8]

Hmm, randomly adding people to your network. What may be the aim here? (hint: sales funnel)

[virtualbrix]

NO. No sales funnel. I have helped a LOT of people, I dont want ANYTHING in return. I make more than enough

[6bfcdaf8]

Taken from upwork itself :

Don’t miss our expert talk with Samer Bazzi, who earned over $2 million while freelancing on Upwork! In addition to earning, Samer has also invested $2.4 million as a client hiring independent professionals on the platform.

yes indeed sounds like you helped people more than than what you have made. and you lost 400k.

am i missing something here?

[virtualbrix]

Yes, you are actually. Making 2M+ on Upwork does that mean that this is my "only" revenue source. I spend a lot of time helping others. I have a non profit which I donate most of my earnings to (design, development, scholarships, equipment, etc), I run a non profit to also help people with kidney disease (since that is what I was disagnosed with a few years ago, as the article says "I was one of the lucky ones to get through that mess", I take ZERO salary from the non profit. Have an amazing day. Back to help my clients and also helping others, whether that is freelancers (yes, with ZERO gain other than helping others) and helping those diagnosed with kidney disease and again, NO gain, other than helping others. Have an amazing day.

[6bfcdaf8]

Congrats on being a good human being. I believe the more one gives / donates, the more they will receive. Also congrats on not giving up despite lifes setbacks! Most keep their setbacks private, but when you share them you have a chance to influence others in a positive way!

The way you express yourself, the signals you give (advertising by the amount earned, funneling random people into your private channels) is not reflecting the best in you,

[virtualbrix]

I appreciate the feedback and understand where you are coming. I also appreciate the very kind words. Thank you so much!

[virtualbrix]

It really depends, its good to network, push work to others when your plate is full, share strategies about your niche.

[mwendwa_stephen]

I love what you are doing! Can you please add me to your network? 

[virtualbrix]

Sure, I just added you. Thank You!
