Well... i don't have ANY social media accounts, and there is absolutely nothing interesting on my github (about 30 repos which i built working for just 1 client of mine, out of 100+, 1-6 years ago). Am i a fake? I am top #1 Upwork developer in EU by revenue though.
- ape4 7y agoYou're too good to be true ;)
- mindcrime 7y agoI'm sure what you say is true, but here's the thing... you know what that makes you? An exception. And as a first pass heuristic, "don't bet on exceptions" is a pretty reasonable guideline.
- anovikov 7y agoTrick is, i never found out how to go beyond Upwork. I never, ever made a good deal with anyone outside of it. It gets me super concerned because i'm locked into one platform, but have no idea what to do.
- jefflinwood 7y agoNot to jump on the original point of this article, but I would suggest creating a personal blog, professional LinkedIn profile, and a technical focused Twitter account. The reason you can't make a deal outside Upwork is that all of your information that would cause someone to trust you is on Upwork, and only clients using that platform will see it.
