  1. 0:00So, how do you get unlimited clients on
  2. 0:02Upwork? If you don't already know, my
  3. 0:03name is Ryan. All we talk about on this
  4. 0:04YouTube channel is landing whale clients
  5. 0:07on the platform. I'm ranked number one
  6. 0:08for N A N and automation on Upwork via
  7. 0:11Upwork MRR, and this is basically what I
  8. 0:14do for a living. Now, if I was going to
  9. 0:16summarize how to get unlimited clients
  10. 0:18on the Upwork platform, I'll break it
  11. 0:19into kind of three main points. Those
  12. 0:22three main points are having a really
  13. 0:23good profile, and I'll show you what
  14. 0:25that looks like, having consistent
  15. 0:27outreach, and I'll also show you what
  16. 0:28that looks like and how close six-figure
  17. 0:31deals with this style of outreach. And
  18. 0:32thirdly, talking about mindset and your
  19. 0:35earning potential on the platform and
  20. 0:37what's actually possible on Upwork.
  21. 0:39Because still to this day, people still
  22. 0:40think it's full of low-paying clients,
  23. 0:42and it isn't. And I'm going to show you
  24. 0:43that in this video. So, that first
  25. 0:44point, your profile. Having a great
  26. 0:46profile is definitely one of the first
  27. 0:48steps in terms of getting unlimited
  28. 0:50clients on the platform. And ultimately,
  29. 0:52if you have a good profile, it's like
  30. 0:54having a good piece of real estate. You
  31. 0:55don't really have to do anything with
  32. 0:57it. It'll consistently make you money.
  33. 0:59And unlike real estate, you're not going
  34. 1:00to have a bunch of homeless people
  35. 1:01breaking into your house when you leave
  36. 1:03it unattended. For example, I left my
  37. 1:05profile dead for about 3 years, and then
  38. 1:07I came back in November 2025 and went on
  39. 1:10for about 6 to 7 months to make over
  40. 1:12$400,000 during that period, which is
  41. 1:14like over $2,000 a day consistently just
  42. 1:17from Upwork alone. And that was in a
  43. 1:18completely new niche my yard. So, this
  44. 1:21is possible. Once you have a great
  45. 1:22profile, you can switch niches, and you
  46. 1:24can switch skills, and that's really
  47. 1:26cool. Now, I can explain in this YouTube
  48. 1:28video how to get unlimited clients by
  49. 1:30having a great profile, but I've
  50. 1:32actually made a full free checklist.
  51. 1:34It's almost like a free course on
  52. 1:35YouTube on how to structure your
  53. 1:36profile, and I'll put it on the screen
  54. 1:38somewhere. Definitely go check that out.
  55. 1:40But ultimately, it comes down to having
  56. 1:42a really good branded profile. It comes
  57. 1:44down to having a really good video
  58. 1:45introduction and the same branding
  59. 1:47across the video introduction to the
  60. 1:48portfolio to the profile picture. And
  61. 1:51also again, having a great profile
  62. 1:52picture, having a very chunky profile.
  63. 1:55But again, go watch that video because I
  64. 1:56explain it in-depth on every single step
  65. 1:58that you need to do completely for free.
  66. 2:00There's no paywall. It's just a free
  67. 2:0130-minute video teaching you exactly
  68. 2:03what you need to do for your profile.
  69. 2:04But ultimately, once you have a great
  70. 2:05Upwork profile, you don't even really
  71. 2:07need to spend money on Connects. Like I
  72. 2:08haven't spent any money on Connects for
  73. 2:10the last what? 3 weeks and I've still
  74. 2:12had consistent daily invites and
  75. 2:15messages on my Upwork profile. All
  76. 2:17inbound, all organic without spending a
  77. 2:18single penny on Connects or boosting.
  78. 2:20But once you got a good profile, how do
  79. 2:22you actually go about getting clients?
  80. 2:24Well, that is where it comes to that
  81. 2:25second point, which is consistent
  82. 2:27outreach. Now, people love to
  83. 2:28overcomplicate Upwork in terms of the
  84. 2:30outreach and so on. But really, it's
  85. 2:32simple. It's only two things. It's
  86. 2:33either inbound, which is boosting, or
  87. 2:35outbound, which is proposals. And both
  88. 2:37have their pros and cons. Now, if you
  89. 2:39know me and you've been watching this
  90. 2:40YouTube channel for a while, I only talk
  91. 2:42about boosting because that's all I ever
  92. 2:44need to do. I don't need to send
  93. 2:46proposals because it's all inbound for
  94. 2:47me and that's because I have a great
  95. 2:48profile like in the first point. But
  96. 2:50proposals are also very important,
  97. 2:52especially if you're a new person or a
  98. 2:54beginner or kind of intermediary on the
  99. 2:57platform. Ultimately, if you have less
  100. 2:58than 10K earned on your profile and
  101. 3:00you're not top-rated and you have less
  102. 3:01than 100% job success score and not like
  103. 3:03a beautiful profile, I would urge you to
  104. 3:05not boost your profile because you're
  105. 3:06basically burning money. But with
  106. 3:08proposals, it's really just a volume
  107. 3:10game and you can kind of get away with
  108. 3:11it as long as you send a certain amount
  109. 3:12of proposals, you're pretty much
  110. 3:13guaranteed to get a certain amount of
  111. 3:15responses back. Now, for me, I teach
  112. 3:17people to send proposals with
  113. 3:18personalized Loom videos. Now, I'm going
  114. 3:20to put a video on the screen of a Loom
  115. 3:22kind of walk-through course thing that I
  116. 3:24made on YouTube that you can check out.
  117. 3:26It's really in depth on how to send
  118. 3:27Looms. But the reason that Loom videos
  119. 3:29work and the reason that they stand out
  120. 3:31and it's the reason that it's one of the
  121. 3:32highest converting ways to get clients
  122. 3:34on Upwork is because it's so
  123. 3:35personalized. It's so unique. And in a
  124. 3:38world of Chat GPT, Claude, Gemini, and
  125. 3:42AI, Looms speak. Looms are so genuine,
  126. 3:45you know? It's you. You can't really
  127. 3:47fake that and you look real. You're
  128. 3:49saying, "Hey, like I can help you with
  129. 3:50the project." Instead of just getting
  130. 3:52some AI slot message, which by the way,
  131. 3:5499% of people still send on Upwork. And
  132. 3:57that actually leads me on to another
  133. 3:58thing about consistent outreach on
  134. 4:00Upwork is try not to automate it until
  135. 4:02you have a good thing. And don't
  136. 4:04automate it with just rubbish free
  137. 4:06sloppy AI. It just looks terrible. And
  138. 4:09yes, you've automated it, but
  139. 4:11ultimately, who cares if you're spending
  140. 4:13so many more connects just to get the
  141. 4:15same client that you could have got from
  142. 4:16a little bit more personalization. And
  143. 4:18that's proposals. But if you have a
  144. 4:19great profile, just slap on boosting and
  145. 4:21it will work for you really well. And I
  146. 4:23have a full boosting course that's
  147. 4:24coming out on this YouTube channel cuz
  148. 4:26nobody talks about it. I'm the only one
  149. 4:27that's actually making money from it.
  150. 4:28So, I thought I'd make a dedicated
  151. 4:30course completely for free on YouTube.
  152. 4:31I'm not charging for it and that will be
  153. 4:33on my YouTube channel very shortly. And
  154. 4:34finally, the last point, once you've got
  155. 4:36a great profile and you consistently
  156. 4:38sending proposals and boosting and doing
  157. 4:40outreach on your profile, you got to
  158. 4:41pair those things together with your
  159. 4:43brain and your mindset. And that is the
  160. 4:45next point. Ultimately, you are
  161. 4:47bottlenecked by your belief on Upwork.
  162. 4:50If you believe that Upwork is full of
  163. 4:51small low-paying clients, then that is
  164. 4:54what you will attract. And look, I'm the
  165. 4:56last guy to give you like wishy-washy
  166. 4:57advice, like spiritual
  167. 5:00ooh, like if you know this and you
  168. 5:01manifest Look, it works and it's
  169. 5:03important to understand that you will
  170. 5:05get what you think your earning
  171. 5:06potential is on Upwork. And the best way
  172. 5:08to break your limiting beliefs around
  173. 5:10Upwork is just to look at the maths.
  174. 5:11There's websites like Upwork MRR, which
  175. 5:14I rank number one for on N A N by the
  176. 5:16way, and you can see people making
  177. 5:18hundreds of thousands of dollars,
  178. 5:20$160,000
  179. 5:21a month on Upwork. And for context,
  180. 5:24statistically speaking, the average
  181. 5:25person on Upwork in the top 100 on
  182. 5:28Upwork is making over $39,000
  183. 5:30per month. The person in the top 10,000,
  184. 5:32the average is making what? $7,000,
  185. 5:35$8,000 on Upwork. So, there's quite a
  186. 5:37lot of money going around. But most
  187. 5:39people don't believe that. Most people
  188. 5:41think that Upwork is full of low-paying
  189. 5:43clients. And because they think that,
  190. 5:44they manifest that. And because they
  191. 5:46manifest that, that's what they get.
  192. 5:47They think it, and then that's what
  193. 5:49happens. And even if you have a perfect
  194. 5:51mindset around Upwork, and you really
  195. 5:53believe it's possible, and you just look
  196. 5:55at the data objectively, and realize
  197. 5:56that it is possible. And by the way,
  198. 5:58that's the minimum that they're making,
  199. 6:00cuz it's based on, you know, numbers
  200. 6:01that of actual withdrawals on Upwork.
  201. 6:04There is one other aspect of your
  202. 6:05mindset that if you don't do, will
  203. 6:07completely break everything, too. And
  204. 6:08that is working every single deal. You
  205. 6:11must consistently work every single deal
  206. 6:14on Upwork. If you get a message, you've
  207. 6:17already paid for it. If a client
  208. 6:18responds to your proposal, you've
  209. 6:20already paid for it. So, work every
  210. 6:21single deal. I mentor people all the
  211. 6:23time. One of the first things I do is I
  212. 6:25look at their Upwork profile, and they
  213. 6:27look at the messaging section. And
  214. 6:28you'll be surprised that people just
  215. 6:29unattended the client, and not follow up
  216. 6:32with them, and don't really talk to them
  217. 6:33that much. You got to follow up with the
  218. 6:34clients consistently. You got to provide
  219. 6:36value. You've got to work every single
  220. 6:38deal. And honestly, if you have a great
  221. 6:40profile, and you're consistent with the
  222. 6:41outreach, and you have a good mindset,
  223. 6:43and believe in your earning potential on
  224. 6:45the platform, and you consistently work
  225. 6:47every single deal, there's no reason
  226. 6:48that you can't get unlimited clients on
  227. 6:50the Upwork platform. But if you haven't
  228. 6:52already subscribed to this YouTube
  229. 6:53channel, definitely do it. All I talk
  230. 6:54about on this YouTube channel is Upwork.
