This quick, easy read is filled with helpful advice in starting out as an editor on Upwork! Liz’s down-to-earth but upbeat and encouraging tone throughout the book made me excited to try out her advice. I feel encouraged and equipped to get started on the platform. I have a better understanding of how to make Upwork work for me. I know how to make my proposals stand out. I know how to price my services. I know red flags for scams.

The flow of the book was logical, and the writing is thoughtful and clear. Liz includes many graphics from Upwork to help you see exactly what she is explaining. She is also very good at sharing other resources that will help you in your business. Liz is generous with her examples and lays out her own proven strategy for how to land jobs on Upwork, even if you have no experience yet. After reading this book, I feel excited to try my hand at the game!
