In this video I break down exactly how I use freelance sites like Upwork to land $1,000/month recurring income (and yes, I’ve closed deals that turned into $5,000/month). The big shift for me was realizing I didn’t want one-off projects that feel like a job. I wanted a service I could charge monthly for and eventually outsource—so I focused on SEO (helping businesses show up higher on Google), because demand is constant and the value is obvious. I show you how I search for SEO jobs, filter for higher-budget projects, and why Upwork is so powerful: clients are already raising their hand saying “I need help,” which beats cold calling strangers all day. Then I walk through my proposal approach—my go-to move is sending a quick Loom video so I stand out and get more replies. I also show my Upwork profile as proof this works (top rated plus, 100% job success, $200k+ earned) and explain how I’ve outsourced fulfillment on many projects so I can focus on sales and client acquisition. If you want the step-by-step, I point you to my free training and the tools I use to manage and fulfill client work.
