Thanks for sharing these wonderful tips! I'm struggling with finding my first clients on Upwork (since I submitted 3-5 proposals) and this video really cheers me up!
@@JohnMerinFilms u got it man, btw! I took a look at your channel. I believe The thing that made this video do as well as it did, compared to the other videos on your channel (as far as views) was not only the value u gave to the viewer, but there was more effort put into your thumbnail. Keep it up and the channel with grow even more. 👊🏼
Hi! I've been video editing for years but my problem when it comes to finding jobs I have no clue what to put in my portfolio (specially when I don't have any past in film making) My main focus is just video editing, what do you suggest I do so I can create my own portfolio without filmmaking?
Hey man! You can simply edit a 1-min highlight reel that serves as your portfolio. It could be your past edits putting it altogether in 1-min, just so clients can have a glimpse of what you are capable of. You don’t need to be a filmmaker to find jobs online, there are a lot of opportunities for video editors.
Thank you Marion 🙏 Tips that I could share to have a 'Rising Talent Badge based on experience is: - Post all portfolio that you have on your profile - Make your profile description engaging and straightforward, specifically on what you can do for clients and why they should choose you - Keep sending proposals (I know it's challenging to land a job on upwork while you are still starting but perseverance is key)
Marami po nag email sakin na ichat ko daw mga manager nila Telegram.. Ok nmn sa una ung convo namin..marami sana akong work kaso after ko mamili ng Plan Project..need ko daw magbayad muna ng $40 para sa Company ID.if wala d daw ako mkkpgstart.. Sa tingin nio po legit or not??
Right now am striving to earn my first work, wonder how you earned the rising star badge without taking any job, could you please help me / replay to this in brief about it. I really appreciate it 🙌
Hey VMSULTHAN, in my experience the 'rising star' badge appeared when I keep on sending proposals and being active on upwork. I cant pin point the exact method but this is how I had it before.
@@JohnMerinFilms Thanks for the replay, yeah I too don't think there is an accurate method to be a rising star... been sending proposals for the past 1 month and no luck yet... Anyway thank you for motivating us 🙌
Hi, do I have to purchase adobe premiere pro/final cut pro legally for freelance work? Mayro’n po kasi ako binili sa facebook na much cheaper option and lifetime access na siya which is yung adobe. Pero I don’t think it’s legal, pwede po kaya yun gamitin for freelance work? Ang mahal po kasi ng bayad, student palang ako :((
Hey awesome video thanks for the tips John. I also have a question, can we put some friends to hire us that live 4 houses next to us? or there is a chance that they will consider it cheating (even though our IP is totally different) and so they will ban our account? Appreciate your help!
@@JohnMerinFilms Oh i see thanks for letting me know, exactly that's what i also believe as well initially. i heard some extreme cases that they ban you very easily and it got me thinking that might be an issue and that's why i jumped on the comments for help :) Thank you John!
