00:00:00,970 --> 00:00:03,760
OK, so this is Upwork dot com.

2
00:00:04,090 --> 00:00:08,920
This is where you want to go, when it's time to build your profile, and Upwork always changes their

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,060
home page up a little bit.

4
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:13,660
This is actually an image slider, so there's always different images.

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:18,310
But just make sure you're on Upwork Gqom and to sign up, it's very simple.

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,560
All you have to do is click the green sign up button.

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:22,510
And from there.

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:29,340
It's going to prompt you to either log in with your Google account or you can create a work email address

9
00:00:29,340 --> 00:00:30,540
and enter it in here.

10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:36,690
I suggest doing that because when you have a separate email address just for Upwork, that helps you

11
00:00:36,690 --> 00:00:42,090
keep your circle of focus even tighter, because then you know you're only going to use that email address

12
00:00:42,390 --> 00:00:45,840
with Upwork, so every single notification is important.

13
00:00:46,980 --> 00:00:50,580
Once you do that, it's going to walk you through a verification process.

14
00:00:50,910 --> 00:00:56,070
So since I already have an account, I can't show you this, but it's very self-explanatory.

15
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:01,410
It will walk you through uploading your ID, making sure you can prove your identity.

16
00:01:01,770 --> 00:01:04,710
And as you go through this, remember, it might take a little bit.

17
00:01:04,890 --> 00:01:10,320
But this is all for your safety, and this is all to improve the credibility of the platform.

18
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:16,050
And you can look if you wanted to get a little bit more information on Upwork, you can see that some

19
00:01:16,050 --> 00:01:23,310
of the biggest businesses in the world use Upwork to get freelancers hired, and there's more than 60000

20
00:01:23,310 --> 00:01:25,770

21
00:01:26,070 --> 00:01:28,380
You can find what you need post today.

22
00:01:28,380 --> 00:01:30,450

23

So as you can see, it's very geared towards creating a place for speed, efficiency and getting things

24
00:01:38,130 --> 00:01:38,430
done.

25
00:01:39,090 --> 00:01:44,610
So go ahead, sign up for your Upwork account, and after you sign up for your free account, you have

26
00:01:44,610 --> 00:01:47,010
the option to upgrade to your paid account.

27
00:01:47,370 --> 00:01:53,190
That's the fourteen ninety nine freelancer plus plan, and I highly recommend that if you're serious

28
00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:59,520
about freelancing because it gives you added benefits like being able to see what your competitors bid.

29
00:02:00,030 --> 00:02:06,390
So go ahead, create your profile, and then I'm going to show you my profile and every single piece

30
00:02:06,390 --> 00:02:06,690
of it.

31
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,780
So you can build the best profile possible.
