The Freelancing Roller Coaster Ride
Whether you’re working with one client or a handful of clients, you’ll have to address this worst-case scenario at some point:
​
What will I do if a client decides to let me go?
​
If your goal is to make enough money to quit your 9-5 and make a decent living off of freelancing, you’ve got to have a way of generating consistent income.
​
That means your plan has to consider the moments when you need a client FAST.
​
Here’s the secret: The quickest way to land clients is to look for warm leads – potential clients who are ready to hire.
​
So far, Upwork has served as the most reliable platform for millions of freelancers to land quality clients within days.
​
But to get the platform to work in your favor, you have to know what you’re doing when it comes to your Upwork messaging and sales process.
​
That’s why when you work with me, I’ll teach you how to use your Upwork metrics to update your messaging without guessing…
And how to show up with authority to potential clients. So that after 6 weeks, you can confidently generate consistent clients on your own.
“I am rocking it on Upwork! Things are happening here!!!”
Before contacting me, Jackie freelanced as a copywriter for 3 years. Because she had quit her 9-5 to pursue copywriting full-time, Jackie needed a way to create predictability in her life when a job couldn’t provide that anymore. She came to me to learn how to use Upwork to build that steady stream of clients.
After 5 weeks, Jackie averaged a 60% proposal open rate and got 1-3 sales calls every week! To date, Jackie has been fully booked several times with a waitlist, secured 5 retainers in a single month, and generated over $4k in monthly income.

What You’ll Learn:
The Upwork Decoded System
Module 1: Uncover Your Unique Edge
Before setting up your Upwork account, you must get clarity on how you can stand out from the competition and position yourself as the go-to expert. So in Module 1, I’ll walk you through the inner workings of Upwork’s SEO-driven algorithm and teach you how to build your Service Suite, Niche Trifecta, and Premium Pricing Guide as the foundation of your Upwork system.
Module 2: The Irresistible Profile
If you want to get clients without having to submit proposals one day, you want to make sure your profile is set up to convert leads the moment they find you through the search engine. So in Module 2, I’ll show you how to properly set up your profile so you can attract high-paying clients looking for exactly what you have to offer.
Module 3: The Lead Gen Engine
Let’s not waste time on the jobs that won’t amount to anything. That’s why in Module 3, I’ll teach you how to find the high-quality opportunities out of all the low-paying ones, write compelling proposals that elicit responses, and streamline your outreach so the routine is quick and effortless. The goal of this module is to get in front of your ideal clients without wasting time and money.
Module 4: The 3x3x3 Client Conversion Formula
It’s one thing to land a client here and there. It’s another to be able to land clients consistently – and that’s what makes freelancing hard. That’s why in Module 4, I’ll teach you my signature formula for turning interest into a predictable 1-3 high-paying clients every month. This formula will involve using Upwork analytics to gather insights and optimize your lead gen system for conversions.
Module 5: The Client-Centric Sales Method
You finally got some responses from proposals. Now, it’s time to engage with them! This is your chance to get to know your prospects and offer services that’ll truly help them overcome their challenges and reach their goals. So in Module 5, I’ll show you how to talk to prospects over a call, increase your earning potential, and close the deal – by focusing on what clients actually need.
Module 6: The Unbeatable Offer
If a prospect needs many services, it’s a good idea to present an updated proposal so the prospect can fully understand what they’ll get by working with you. So as the last step, I’ll teach you how to craft a follow-up proposal they can’t refuse. You’ll also get my exact steps on how to secure the client with an Upwork contract and make sure you get paid for your work.

Jessica Sims
Copywriter & Content Writer
for Women’s Health
Jess came to me looking for “ground zero” guidance on Upwork as a seasoned freelancer in a specialized niche. We updated her profile and proposal messaging so that it’s highly targeted to the industries she wants to serve. I also taught her my 3x3x3 strategy to secure clients at a consistent pace.
Throughout our time working together, Jess was landing a sales call every week. After 5 weeks, Jess not only made back her investment but she also secured 3-4 Upwork clients – all within her specialty.
Ralph Dela Cruz
Direct Response Copywriter
​
As an engineer getting into copywriting, Ralph came to me wanting to learn how to manage his time so he could land his first client quickly. Since he was already good at getting responses from proposals, he just needed to continue the conversation with these leads. I showed him how to lead a sales call to secure more work and income.
After 5 weeks, Ralph didn't just secure his first client on Upwork. He also became so confident in his sales skills that he secured clients from social media and networking events as well.
Christine Landgraf
Sales Funnel Copywriter
& Marketing Strategist
Before reaching out to me, Christine *dreaded* using Upwork – especially the energetics of it. The experience felt impersonal to her and like a scramble to send proposals. After deciding to give it another go months later, Christine wanted to make sure she used the platform in a systematic way that would get her leads.
Within one week of working with me, Christine landed her first sales call. The second week, she had 2 calls. After 5 weeks, she secured 2 paying clients – one of which was an inbound lead thanks to the profile optimization.
You’re Ready For Upwork Coaching If…

You can show up to every call on time and follow through on every action item.​
​
-
You take full responsibility for your actions (and lack of action).​
​
-
You’re patient and understand that results may take a few weeks.
​​
-
Don’t expect results overnight.​
​
-
You choose to focus on the earning potential on Upwork rather than the crappy client stories you’ve read online.​
​
-
You can afford to buy connects as we work together. (You can expect to spend anywhere between $200-$300 to send enough proposals for 6 weeks.)
“During our time together, I made $1200 on Upwork which allowed me to make back my investment in the program while working with her. She’s worth every penny. I couldn’t recommend Faith enough.”
As a new freelancer, Matthew came to me with the goal of making copywriting a full-time business. That way, he can pursue acting as his dream career without relying on a soul-crushing job for income. We updated his profile and proposal messaging to position him as an authority in 3 key industries. I taught him how to lead a sales call and close a deal after the call.
After 5 weeks, he secured 4 sales calls, 3 copywriting clients, and $1200 on Upwork. To date, he has been working on a $3200 website project and with 3 retainer clients while booking several other one-off jobs every month.

Fast Track Your Way To Securing $1k+ Projects
Right now, if you try to get clients without a clue how Upwork works, you’ll likely waste hundreds of connects on proposals that won’t generate responses.
​
Furthermore, if you don’t know how to sell after getting a response, you can miss out on earning thousands of dollars more than what was on the listing.
​
That’s why I want to make sure you’re getting sufficient guidance on using Upwork – from setting up the profile to closing the client.
So to make this happen, I’m offering 6 weeks of 1:1 coaching to you for $1400 (or $350/month in 4 payments).
Anne Marie Mitchell
Copywriter & Brand Voice Strategist
Anne Marie came to me looking for guidance on streamlining her Upwork proposal routine. That way, she can make progress in building her client base while still managing her responsibilities as a mother with a full-time job. We focused on improving her profile messaging and creating a cover letter template so she didn’t have to start every proposal from scratch.
After 5 weeks, Anne Marie didn’t just streamline her Upwork proposal routine. She also found time to reach out to potential clients off Upwork and finally secured 3 clients after several months of getting crickets.
Wajahat Saleem
Direct Response Copywriter & Email Marketer
Before reaching out to me, Wajahat was struggling to find solid projects on Upwork, get proposals viewed, and landing clients consistently. To resolve these common issues, I gave him my writing framework to craft a high-converting profile and cover letter. I also taught him my 3x3x3 formula to calculate the *exact* number of proposals, responses, and calls needed to secure new clients consistently on Upwork.
During our time working together, Wajahat improved his results by getting 10 more proposals opened. After 5 weeks, he streamlined his Upwork proposal routine and secured 2 sales calls with potential clients.
My “Unconventional” Path To Freelancing
After completing a course in 2021, I decided to leave my steady engineering job and commit full-time to my new copywriting business.
But, I struggled to find my first paying clients for the first 3 months in business. I tried everything…
From applying for jobs on LinkedIn…
To engaging in Facebook groups…
To reaching out to potential clients on Instagram.
Once I was running out of options and my savings were running low, I decided to give Upwork a shot. The moment I realized I made $1.5k in the first month, then $4.5k total with my first Upwork client…
I knew I was onto something. Over time, I developed a way to create predictability in my business…
By getting a sales call booked every week – and ultimately – securing quality clients that pay me anywhere between $1k-$4k for their projects.
Upwork has saved me from the dreaded $0 months. I hope that by sharing my strategy and experience, you can create a sense of predictability and certainty in your freelance business, too.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect from working with you?
Since this is a 1:1 coaching program, you can expect a highly personalized experience for 6 weeks.
On Day 1, I’ll give you the first pre-recorded module, which covers the topic of clarifying your niche. After that, I’ll deliver each module to you at the right time. This way, you get to master every step of the Upwork Decoded system before moving forward.
Meanwhile, we’ll meet for a private 30-minute Zoom call once a week, where I’ll review your Upwork progress, refine your proposals, and tweak your outreach strategy to maximize results. The point of these calls is to get direct, personalized feedback so you’re never left guessing what to do next.
​
Lastly, you’ll also get on-demand access to me Monday-Friday via WhatsApp so you can get timely support whenever you get stuck using the Upwork platform or handling tough client situations.​
What can I achieve in 6 weeks?
The goal for these 6 weeks is to develop your confidence in turning lurkers into high-paying clients using my analytical approach to using Upwork.
​
We’ll be taking it one step at a time like this:
​
1. We’ll get more proposals opened by clarifying your offer suite, creating a profile that stands out, and applying for jobs that are relevant to your offer suite.
​
2. We’ll generate more responses from proposals by making sure your cover letter is personalized to the needs of potential clients based on the job details.
​
3. We’ll work on maximizing the opportunity of each job by getting the prospect on a call and presenting a better offer based on that in-depth conversation.
​
After 6 weeks, you’ll know what you need to do to generate 1-3 booked calls every week and land a $1k+ client every month.
​
How much access do I get to you?
I’ll be available for 6x private coaching calls, 30 minutes each. In the meantime, you can reach me via WhatsApp voice note or text Monday-Friday, 9 am - 5 pm EST.
​
What’s included in this 6-week container?

Monday-Friday access to me via WhatsApp (voice note + text)
-
Accountability
-
I’ll give you an action step at the end of every module.
-
I’ll check on your progress weekly by reviewing your metrics.
-
What if I have an emergency and can’t apply for jobs sometimes?
My strategy involves you applying for 3-5 jobs each day starting out. Hitting this target is key as you’re working toward getting 1x sales call per week and 1x client per month.
​
If you can’t apply for jobs one day, you can make it up the following day. However, client outreach works best when you do it consistently – no matter how you get clients.
​
I would rather you apply for 1x job per day for consecutive 5 days than apply for 5x jobs one day and then apply for another 5x jobs 5 days later.
