A recent video from Thomas Im…
- weird upwork hacks that ACTUALLY work…
Thomas has earned $60,000+ on Upwork (profile), and it looks like he only started 18 months ago 
He charges $20/hour or more for tasks like…
- Social media management
- Content creation
- Video editing
- Graphic design
To get started on Upwork, he advises doing “quick jobs”…
Focus on one-and-done type of jobs.
Don’t look for these long-term contracts…
If you’re just starting out, your goal should be to build your profile and get those quick reviews and projects.
To find those kinds of gigs in your niche, filter with words like…
- Quick
- Short
- Easy
Another tip from Thomas: only apply to jobs that are fairly new.
Ideally only a couple of hours old at the most 
Perhaps his best tip: set up a Zapier automation that will notify you of new jobs that fit your criteria.
That might sound a bit tricky, but if Thomas was able to do it, you probably can too…
Don’t ask me what any of [this] means; I do not know. I just found a video on it and I use it, so I’m telling you guys about it now.
A final tip from Thomas: never send a generic cover letter 
One way to show you’ve actually read the job post – which immediately makes you stand out – is to ask clarifying questions about the job in your cover letter.
Or spell out exactly how you’d accomplish the task
