Got my first invitation to interview after just 2 proposals after using Ryan's template on how to engage employers on Upwork. Refresh your memory here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8bFw1XQmco&list=PLcQVY5V2UY4L8_RvrhvgJsjnClE0BxxML&index=8&t=5s
I’m trying to understand where client demand is highest (e.g., SQL, dashboards, Python, ML, etc.) and which skills actually lead to consistent paid work. I'm always seeing a lot of web scraping work for example. If you freelance in data/analytics, I’d love to hear: What skills clients request the most? What tools/projects get you the most jobs? Anything you wish you had focused on earlier? Thanks!
@Ryan Nolan My background is in data science and analytics across nonprofits, civic tech, and international orgs. I work heavily with SQL, Python, and cloud warehouses (Snowflake/BigQuery), and I’ve built dashboards in Tableau. I’ve also done a lot of cohort analysis, marketing analytics, and data engineering-lite work like pipeline design and API-based data collection.
