I’m back on the upwork grind of late, when cryptos wobble I go back to grinding out that fiat dollar, you know the one that will implode one day anyway so might as well squeeze it out while you can kinda thing? Yeah that one — today I wanted to share a little video that might help switch your thinking a little bit about bringing in that digital income and you can use upwork as the base for what content you need to record — find out what people are looking for and come up with a virtual client and make a ‘showreel’ for it.
Instead of doing shitty little jobs you will hate why not put out the work you would like to work on and let people come back to you and see if they think it will be a fit for them (instead of the other way around)
I see so many jobs where they want X kind of video and they share examples or they want some motion graphics as an intro to their show — the half way house is to put stuff up that sits between a fiver type of gig and actually making content that other people are asking for.
let the market dictate what your show reel or landing page should have demos of and if you enjoy making that stuff instead of shoehorning yourself working on stuff you hate — after all, most of this stuff will be done by AI in 6/12 months anyway so get it while you can eh? :)
