Why the freelance life isn't for everyone, according to the #1 freelancer on Upwork Ross Jenkins
We all have seen pictures of millennials sipping pina coladas in Bali and Thailand. Saying how they can to work from anywhere in the world as long as there’s an internet connection and how you too should escape 9 to 5 grind, work remotely as a freelancer and join the New Rich.
Meet Ross Jenkins. He’s ranked #1 on Upwork for his skills within the digital world. He’s made over $200,000 as a freelancer on Upwork, one of the largest freelancer platforms in the world.
You have to be self-motivated
One of the main reasons so many freelancers are not able to get great results or build a strong name for themselves is because they are not self-motivated. When you’re a freelancer there’s no boss checking on you to make sure you’re on top of your workload.
Not only you have to be proactive in order to find work, but you must stick to deadlines if you want to be paid. Also, you have to make sure you deliver exceptional results. If you don’t, this may be the last time this particular client chooses to work with you. Only some are cut for a freelance career. Most go back to being employees.
Ross Jenkins, a digital marketing guru, has started learning the ins and outs of the freelance world at the age of 14 by building, marketing, and selling websites, which later turned into great business and work opportunities. Today he’s a go to expert in the digital marketing industry.
You have to add value to the market
Have you ever had an office job? You probably know that very often it is not the most hard-working and committed employee that gets that desired promotion. When you’re a freelancer it’s slightly different. You have to add an exceptional value in order to have returning clients.
Ross Jenkins is a great example. If you go to his Upwork profile that’s got an incredible 97% job success, you will see his clients raving about him. Here’s just a couple:
“Working with Ross and his team is like working with winning team! I am a returning client and really enjoy working with them!! Thank you!”
“Exception high-speed quality service and he's already ready for a challenge! A very supportive and dedicated individual as well as his team. Thank you so much!”
Hard work is rewarded
However, if you’re willing to work hard your efforts are greatly rewarded. Not only you can choose projects you want to be part of, but you can also dive really deep into work that feels the most rewarding to you. The opportunities are endless.
