This is exactly what I did to land my first $60,000 in the space, shaped off hundreds of success stories from people in my community. I walk through everything: building an Upwork profile that wins, using AI to write your bio and proposals, pricing yourself for social proof, running sales calls that close, and how to scale past Upwork into a real business. If you're brand new, switching careers, or stuck at zero, this is the step-by-step path I'd follow if I had to start over today. ⌛ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 - First $60K With AI 0:40 - Who This Is For 1:46 - Stop Busy Work, Start Selling 2:43 - The 2 Skills: Marketing & Sales 3:06 - Fantasy vs Reality 3:54 - The 4-Stage Ladder 5:13 - Why Start on Upwork 9:10 - Upwork Profile: Social Proof 12:14 - Upwork Profile: Results 14:05 - Your Bio + Intro Video 15:52 - How to Price Yourself 17:09 - Social Proof Ranked 19:41 - Make Your Upwork Bio With AI 22:23 - The "No Experience" Fix 26:57 - Job Success Score 28:20 - How to Apply to Jobs 30:25 - Upwork Proposals With AI 37:10 - How to Run Sales Calls 44:07 - How to Qualify Clients 46:48 - Life After Upwork 49:37 - 4 Ways to Get Leads 51:20 - Generalist vs Specialist 55:21 - How to Pick a Niche 59:47 - Free Blueprints + Work With Me 📣 SOCIAL MEDIA • Instagram → https://instagram.com/jono_catliff • TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@jonocatliff • LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonocatliff/ • X → https://twitter.com/@jonocatliff 📺 RELATED VIDEOS • Full crash course on Claude Code → https://youtu.be/Q_OJ26E5_74 • Full crash course on Claude CoWork →https://youtu.be/DHGFV6BqF-A • Full crash course on Claude Code SEO → https://youtu.be/4IyJm1i__ag 🎯 1:1 CONSULTING Book a time → https://jonocatliff.com/consultation 🚀 AUTOMATION AGENCY Get help with your business → https://www.automatable.co 🔗 LINKS (some of these make me money - thanks in advance!) • n8n → https://jonocatliff.com/n8n • Make.com → https://jonocatliff.com/make • Go High Level → https://jonocatliff.com/gohighlevel • Apify → https://jonocatliff.com/apify • Skool → https://jonocatliff.com/skool • Zapier → https://jonocatliff.com/zapier • PandaDoc → https://jonocatliff.com/pandadoc • Apollo → https://jonocatliff.com/apollo • ManyChat → https://jonocatliff.com/manychat • Vapi → https://jonocatliff.com/vapi • PhantomBuster → https://jonocatliff.com/phantombuster • ClickUp → https://jonocatliff.com/clickup • ElevenLabs → https://jonocatliff.com/elevenlabs • Upwork → https://jonocatliff.com/upwork • Instantly.ai → https://jonocatliff.com/instantly • Airtable → https://jonocatliff.com/airtable 👋 ABOUT ME Hey everyone, my name is Jono. I run a 7-figure service business that offers DJ, photo, video services (#1 largest in Canada), and spent years figuring out how to automate every part of it (and hired the roles that I couldn't). Conservatively, I used to work 80+ hours per week, before sunrise till long after sunset; missing gatherings, family events and everything in between. Through automation though, I was able to replace my job. My goal is to help share what worked for me, in a dream of helping others find true success with their passion.
