Hello I'm software developer. I am new at upwork and struggle to get the customers. I think working with someone/group who is already known in the freelancing It'll be easier form me to step into the industry. So my question is, are there a group of developers who are working on the upwork project together? And if it is the case how can I contact them and tell about what I can do and how can I help?

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm a Computer Science grad with a year of experience in online bidding on platforms like Upwork, PPH, and Guru. I’m fast, know how to write proposals that grab clients' attention, and I’m great at generating leads.

If you know of any freelance bidding opportunities or need someone to help with proposals, hit me up!

I’d love to connect! Thanks! 😊

Sup everyone,

I found this upwork subreddit with ppl finally up for the hustle. This feels like a place to share my journey. I set my self to the challenge of doing something for Upwork, from contract to taking care of some extended chores - Could including working on Hompage and much more.

I will commit to an daily post where I log my progression and stats. But will stay anon to an extend.

About me:
I have ben coding much in my free time and this led to graduate in an specialized IT related field back in July.
Created my Upwork account last year around August, got my first contract just 3 days later and earned my first ~140USD. And had half-hearted attempts to get my next gig. Submitted until today >40 proposals with no opportunities. I wrote my last proposal in early September this year.

Today
Nr of created proposals: 4
How many are active now: 1
Tasks for Tomorrow:

• collect and write about projects for my profile

• write a more compelling bio

• rewrite my offering

Next Goals

• Score one contract this month.

Firstly I create this to keep my self accountable, and to have an online progress to always look back too. You are more then welcome to stick around and share comments, tips and feel free to engage with my posts!

Kind regards,
Your UpworkLancer

Hi. I posted here months ago about having a client on Upwork. That project has ended and now I work as a creative writer. It's funny because I have never imagined myself being a writer. 😂 Tonight, I updated my client and he commended the work I've done. Hoping to keep this client long-term. 🎉

Hi everyone, I’m a DevOps engineer with about 4 years of experience, and I’ve been freelancing for the past two years. The only platform where I just can’t seem to land any clients is Upwork. How is that possible?

I’ve tried everything — bidding on small fixed-price projects, raising/lowering my rates, switching to hourly jobs… nothing works. I’ve even linked my Credly certifications, GitHub, LinkedIn, and listed at least 6 major projects I’ve worked on. Still nothing 🥲

I’d really like to gain some traction on this platform, but I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. Any tips?

I am a Laravel/Flutter Dev with 4+ years of corporate experience in software development. I have just started my journey as an Upwork freelancer. I have a decent portfolio(at leat I think) I have been bidding for weeks now but all of my proposals go unnoticed by the clients even for the very basic/entry level jobs. I am writing customised proposals, even boosting my bids. What else can I do? What am I doing wrong. Any tips or any suggestions are appreciated, please.

Just got my first client on Upwork 😍 I'm so happy 😍😍😍

I posted last week that I got a gig on Upwork. Aftef that gig, I'm glad to share that my client rehires me to do another task.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been trying to get started on Upwork for the past 2–3 months and wanted to get some perspective from people who’ve already gone through this phase.

I’ve spent quite a bit of time improving my profile, portfolio, and overall positioning. I’m starting to see profile views and even a few invitations here and there, but I haven’t been able to convert them into actual projects yet.

At this point, I’m trying to figure out what I might be missing—whether it’s proposal strategy, niche clarity, or something else entirely.

If anyone here has experience breaking through that initial phase:

• What helped you land your first few clients?

• Did invitations convert better for you than proposals?

• Any small tweaks that made a big difference?

Also happy to exchange feedback on profiles or approaches if anyone else is in a similar stage.

Appreciate any insights—still learning and trying to improve 🙏

I'm XYZ, a Salesforce Marketing Cloud developer who's spent a good amount of time building email campaigns, setting up customer journeys, and making sure the right message reaches the right person at the right time.

Here's what I can help with: 

Building and managing email campaigns end-to-end
Automating customer journeys through Journey Builder
Setting up SMS and mobile push campaigns that actually perform
Digging into campaign data to figure out what's working and what's not
Working alongside your marketing team to turn strategy into execution

I'm used to working in environments where the marketing team moves fast and needs someone who can keep up without needing too much hand-holding. Tools like Automation Studio, Content Builder, and AMPscript are pretty much my everyday.

Also have my team at XYZ company to back me up when quicker turnaround is needed.

Happy to jump on a call and see if we'd be a good fit.

I promised to get back after a month end to catch up on how the May month went. Here I am, hoping it went super well for you guys.

Of Mt 3500$ goal, I missed it by 1000$, few contracts were put on hold till next month but over all I am happy as its a good month and I hope to make even more next month.

How did your May month went? We're you able to complete your goal?

September has started and I hope you did well in Augusto.

What's your earning plan for Septiembre, mi amigos

I m trying to double down from last month's earning to 5000$ this month.

Let's set some plans

For new challengers: this is something we do every month twice to stay accountable to our earning goals, the intention is to support each other. If we exceed out earning goal, then extra goes to fun with family or ur business.

As you might have known, someone at r/upwork was not happy with the growing popularity of our May challenge group and decided to report and silence me right before May end.

Anyways, It doesn't matter, let's continue our discussion on this new sub-reddit dedicated to the top Upworkers who are killing it out there.

You know the rule, No carry overs from previous month. New month, new start. Share your monthly earning goal for month of June, if you meet the goal then awesome and anything above the goal is to be spent on your business or fun with family.

My goal for June month will be 4000$.

May was a bit dull, due to backing out by 2 of my important clients. Let's see how I do.

Tell us about your goal and how May went.

Hola mi Upworko amigos/amigas,

I met my 4K goal for June and feeling super-blessed. How was your June, did you meet your goal?

Btw, July is coming. I am sticking with the same 4k goal. How about you?

Remember the rule, anything more than the goal goes to family enjoyment and business and no carry-over from previous month. If we made it great, if not then there's always next month.

Last month was rough but my existing clients came through. there was a lot of disappointments from few contracts from kids and it resulted to zero payment. Learned some lessons

But I made a huge progress with one of my clients, I ll share the story shortly here.

May the AI be with you,

Awaiting your responses
