Because of an unexpected rise in the number of messages requesting coaching, mentoring, and general guidance for freelancing, I’ve set up a couple of webinar series where I walk you through each topic in 90-minute interactive sessions.
And they are affordable enough for everyone!
Upwork Level-Up Course: Earn more on the world’s premier freelance marketplace!
For leveling up your freelance business, increasing your rates, and finding better clients on Upwork.
All 4 webinars in the Upwork Level-Up Course include:
- A 75-minute presentation by Dr. Mike
- A 15-minute Q&A with the participants: Ask Dr. Mike anything!
At the end of the course, there is a homework mega-assignment (individual coaching). Develop your plan for raising your rates, and get Dr. Mike’s personalized guidance and feedback:
- Identify a new better direction for your Upwork business through a couple of specific analyses
- Develop a concrete plan with executable steps toward your new path
- Define the growth vector for your rates
The minimum aim for everyone in the course is to raise their rates by at least $10/h… for good!
