I totally agree about having your own blog and that’s so cool you’ve found so much success with Upwork.

Those jobs have been better than I’ve seen on sites like Upwork.

– This is crucial. It’s the #1 most important thing I’ve learned about freelancing. I’ve had *some* success with Upwork, but the sheer exposure to the internet that you get through blogging is unmatched. I’ve used Upwork for maybe two years now, and altogether I’ve received less than five clicks on my profile. I’ve gotten hired more than I’ve gotten clicks — and I was even “Top Ranked” for a little while.

If people are looking to hire you to write blog posts, it’s even more important to have your own blog. It’s one thing to say “I have WordPress experience,” and another thing to show them.
