68: Think Upwork’s not for you? Don’t give up yet
Ep. 68
•
I’ve been having so many conversations lately with folks who are hesitant around using freelancing platforms like Upwork. They don’t think the qualifications or the pay line up with what they’re looking for. In this episode I talk about when to just send your pitch anyway, and why you can’t always go off of what you see in the job description or budget!
