I'm Ehsan. I am an experienced Brand Identity Design and Web Expert.

I have helped more than 200 Clients to increase the quality of their Web Projects and Making High Sales in the Business.

I rely on Upwork as my primary source of income. And I am determined to earn on the local market at least $50k in 2023. So I have no choice but to find opportunities to grow.

1- In the beginning, focus less on the money and more on getting positive ratings and job history on your profile.
2- Look at the job posting. If at the bottom of it, you see number of freelancers needed, then that’s the one you should apply to.
3- In the first line of every proposal you send, write something like: I can see you’re looking for [insert’s client’s requirements].
4- Open their job posting. Scroll to the bottom where freelancers have given reviews to this client. There’s a good chance you’ll find the prospect’s name in one of the reviews.
5- As a freelancer, you get to decide how valuable you are, not your clients. If you know your value, clients can’t bring you down.
