How I Get UNLIMITED Clients From Upwork — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00So, how do you get unlimited clients on
- 0:02Upwork? If you don't already know, my
- 0:03name is Ryan. All we talk about on this
- 0:04YouTube channel is landing whale clients
- 0:07on the platform. I'm ranked number one
- 0:08for N A N and automation on Upwork via
- 0:11Upwork MRR, and this is basically what I
- 0:14do for a living. Now, if I was going to
- 0:16summarize how to get unlimited clients
- 0:18on the Upwork platform, I'll break it
- 0:19into kind of three main points. Those
- 0:22three main points are having a really
- 0:23good profile, and I'll show you what
- 0:25that looks like, having consistent
- 0:27outreach, and I'll also show you what
- 0:28that looks like and how close six-figure
- 0:31deals with this style of outreach. And
- 0:32thirdly, talking about mindset and your
- 0:35earning potential on the platform and
- 0:37what's actually possible on Upwork.
- 0:39Because still to this day, people still
- 0:40think it's full of low-paying clients,
- 0:42and it isn't. And I'm going to show you
- 0:43that in this video. So, that first
- 0:44point, your profile. Having a great
- 0:46profile is definitely one of the first
- 0:48steps in terms of getting unlimited
- 0:50clients on the platform. And ultimately,
- 0:52if you have a good profile, it's like
- 0:54having a good piece of real estate. You
- 0:55don't really have to do anything with
- 0:57it. It'll consistently make you money.
- 0:59And unlike real estate, you're not going
- 1:00to have a bunch of homeless people
- 1:01breaking into your house when you leave
- 1:03it unattended. For example, I left my
- 1:05profile dead for about 3 years, and then
- 1:07I came back in November 2025 and went on
- 1:10for about 6 to 7 months to make over
- 1:12$400,000 during that period, which is
- 1:14like over $2,000 a day consistently just
- 1:17from Upwork alone. And that was in a
- 1:18completely new niche my yard. So, this
- 1:21is possible. Once you have a great
- 1:22profile, you can switch niches, and you
- 1:24can switch skills, and that's really
- 1:26cool. Now, I can explain in this YouTube
- 1:28video how to get unlimited clients by
- 1:30having a great profile, but I've
- 1:32actually made a full free checklist.
- 1:34It's almost like a free course on
- 1:35YouTube on how to structure your
- 1:36profile, and I'll put it on the screen
- 1:38somewhere. Definitely go check that out.
- 1:40But ultimately, it comes down to having
- 1:42a really good branded profile. It comes
- 1:44down to having a really good video
- 1:45introduction and the same branding
- 1:47across the video introduction to the
- 1:48portfolio to the profile picture. And
- 1:51also again, having a great profile
- 1:52picture, having a very chunky profile.
- 1:55But again, go watch that video because I
- 1:56explain it in-depth on every single step
- 1:58that you need to do completely for free.
- 2:00There's no paywall. It's just a free
- 2:0130-minute video teaching you exactly
- 2:03what you need to do for your profile.
- 2:04But ultimately, once you have a great
- 2:05Upwork profile, you don't even really
- 2:07need to spend money on Connects. Like I
- 2:08haven't spent any money on Connects for
- 2:10the last what? 3 weeks and I've still
- 2:12had consistent daily invites and
- 2:15messages on my Upwork profile. All
- 2:17inbound, all organic without spending a
- 2:18single penny on Connects or boosting.
- 2:20But once you got a good profile, how do
- 2:22you actually go about getting clients?
- 2:24Well, that is where it comes to that
- 2:25second point, which is consistent
- 2:27outreach. Now, people love to
- 2:28overcomplicate Upwork in terms of the
- 2:30outreach and so on. But really, it's
- 2:32simple. It's only two things. It's
- 2:33either inbound, which is boosting, or
- 2:35outbound, which is proposals. And both
- 2:37have their pros and cons. Now, if you
- 2:39know me and you've been watching this
- 2:40YouTube channel for a while, I only talk
- 2:42about boosting because that's all I ever
- 2:44need to do. I don't need to send
- 2:46proposals because it's all inbound for
- 2:47me and that's because I have a great
- 2:48profile like in the first point. But
- 2:50proposals are also very important,
- 2:52especially if you're a new person or a
- 2:54beginner or kind of intermediary on the
- 2:57platform. Ultimately, if you have less
- 2:58than 10K earned on your profile and
- 3:00you're not top-rated and you have less
- 3:01than 100% job success score and not like
- 3:03a beautiful profile, I would urge you to
- 3:05not boost your profile because you're
- 3:06basically burning money. But with
- 3:08proposals, it's really just a volume
- 3:10game and you can kind of get away with
- 3:11it as long as you send a certain amount
- 3:12of proposals, you're pretty much
- 3:13guaranteed to get a certain amount of
- 3:15responses back. Now, for me, I teach
- 3:17people to send proposals with
- 3:18personalized Loom videos. Now, I'm going
- 3:20to put a video on the screen of a Loom
- 3:22kind of walk-through course thing that I
- 3:24made on YouTube that you can check out.
- 3:26It's really in depth on how to send
- 3:27Looms. But the reason that Loom videos
- 3:29work and the reason that they stand out
- 3:31and it's the reason that it's one of the
- 3:32highest converting ways to get clients
- 3:34on Upwork is because it's so
- 3:35personalized. It's so unique. And in a
- 3:38world of Chat GPT, Claude, Gemini, and
- 3:42AI, Looms speak. Looms are so genuine,
- 3:45you know? It's you. You can't really
- 3:47fake that and you look real. You're
- 3:49saying, "Hey, like I can help you with
- 3:50the project." Instead of just getting
- 3:52some AI slot message, which by the way,
- 3:5499% of people still send on Upwork. And
- 3:57that actually leads me on to another
- 3:58thing about consistent outreach on
- 4:00Upwork is try not to automate it until
- 4:02you have a good thing. And don't
- 4:04automate it with just rubbish free
- 4:06sloppy AI. It just looks terrible. And
- 4:09yes, you've automated it, but
- 4:11ultimately, who cares if you're spending
- 4:13so many more connects just to get the
- 4:15same client that you could have got from
- 4:16a little bit more personalization. And
- 4:18that's proposals. But if you have a
- 4:19great profile, just slap on boosting and
- 4:21it will work for you really well. And I
- 4:23have a full boosting course that's
- 4:24coming out on this YouTube channel cuz
- 4:26nobody talks about it. I'm the only one
- 4:27that's actually making money from it.
- 4:28So, I thought I'd make a dedicated
- 4:30course completely for free on YouTube.
- 4:31I'm not charging for it and that will be
- 4:33on my YouTube channel very shortly. And
- 4:34finally, the last point, once you've got
- 4:36a great profile and you consistently
- 4:38sending proposals and boosting and doing
- 4:40outreach on your profile, you got to
- 4:41pair those things together with your
- 4:43brain and your mindset. And that is the
- 4:45next point. Ultimately, you are
- 4:47bottlenecked by your belief on Upwork.
- 4:50If you believe that Upwork is full of
- 4:51small low-paying clients, then that is
- 4:54what you will attract. And look, I'm the
- 4:56last guy to give you like wishy-washy
- 4:57advice, like spiritual
- 5:00ooh, like if you know this and you
- 5:01manifest Look, it works and it's
- 5:03important to understand that you will
- 5:05get what you think your earning
- 5:06potential is on Upwork. And the best way
- 5:08to break your limiting beliefs around
- 5:10Upwork is just to look at the maths.
- 5:11There's websites like Upwork MRR, which
- 5:14I rank number one for on N A N by the
- 5:16way, and you can see people making
- 5:18hundreds of thousands of dollars,
- 5:20$160,000
- 5:21a month on Upwork. And for context,
- 5:24statistically speaking, the average
- 5:25person on Upwork in the top 100 on
- 5:28Upwork is making over $39,000
- 5:30per month. The person in the top 10,000,
- 5:32the average is making what? $7,000,
- 5:35$8,000 on Upwork. So, there's quite a
- 5:37lot of money going around. But most
- 5:39people don't believe that. Most people
- 5:41think that Upwork is full of low-paying
- 5:43clients. And because they think that,
- 5:44they manifest that. And because they
- 5:46manifest that, that's what they get.
- 5:47They think it, and then that's what
- 5:49happens. And even if you have a perfect
- 5:51mindset around Upwork, and you really
- 5:53believe it's possible, and you just look
- 5:55at the data objectively, and realize
- 5:56that it is possible. And by the way,
- 5:58that's the minimum that they're making,
- 6:00cuz it's based on, you know, numbers
- 6:01that of actual withdrawals on Upwork.
- 6:04There is one other aspect of your
- 6:05mindset that if you don't do, will
- 6:07completely break everything, too. And
- 6:08that is working every single deal. You
- 6:11must consistently work every single deal
- 6:14on Upwork. If you get a message, you've
- 6:17already paid for it. If a client
- 6:18responds to your proposal, you've
- 6:20already paid for it. So, work every
- 6:21single deal. I mentor people all the
- 6:23time. One of the first things I do is I
- 6:25look at their Upwork profile, and they
- 6:27look at the messaging section. And
- 6:28you'll be surprised that people just
- 6:29unattended the client, and not follow up
- 6:32with them, and don't really talk to them
- 6:33that much. You got to follow up with the
- 6:34clients consistently. You got to provide
- 6:36value. You've got to work every single
- 6:38deal. And honestly, if you have a great
- 6:40profile, and you're consistent with the
- 6:41outreach, and you have a good mindset,
- 6:43and believe in your earning potential on
- 6:45the platform, and you consistently work
- 6:47every single deal, there's no reason
- 6:48that you can't get unlimited clients on
- 6:50the Upwork platform. But if you haven't
- 6:52already subscribed to this YouTube
- 6:53channel, definitely do it. All I talk
- 6:54about on this YouTube channel is Upwork.

- 6:59and I would love to help you. But
- 7:00anyway, I'll see you in the next video.
