Start Landing SEO Clients With UpWork

People always ask me how I'm managing to land clients on a regular basis. When I tell them UpWork they never believe me, they think it's too competitive or it just flat out does not work.

Student Success Story

"I wanted to say that I had the opportunity to take John's course on Upwork and it was instrumental in my journey with the platform.

I started a digital marketing agency in November 2016 and already begun my journey with online courses after taking his advice in regards to online course creation and syndication - but wasn't sure of the best way to set up an Agency.

Going through this course with the advice he offers on getting starting on Upwork was a pivotal part in landing my first job - which was for $350. This was only 6-8 weeks ago and already I'm on track to have a $2k month.

It's ridiculous. Learn, watch, follow and purchase John's material - I feel like I have gotten to know him through his courses and now as a friend.

He's the real deal!"
