Is Face-to-Face Crucial for Upwork Success?
Is there any workaround for the shy ones?
Last week, I enjoyed reading Alexander J Porter’s jaw-dropping step-by-step “$0 to $50K on Upwork in Under 6 Months” roadmap.
Alexander’s tips are… well, the living proof that he totally deserves being the tier one talent out there.
Still, not all writers will feel at ease with his suggestions. Take, for instance, face-to-face contact.
Alexander says:
Without face-to-face contact, you’re only as good as your reviews.
And fellow writer Kristina God raises a question that many new Upwork writers might have:
When you say face-to-face is crucial, do you mean showing your face with your image video or do you consult your clients face-to-face?
New, non-native Upwork writers have this in common
Kristina, who is not a native, would love to offer her services on Upwork, but she’s a bit afraid of talking.
Non-natives who do an excellent job at writing in English can often feel nervous at the thought of speaking in English.
