Just hit my 29th Lovable project on Upwork and wanted to share what's actually working right now. Quick context: I quit my job in May and went all-in on offering Lovable builds on Upwork. My biggest single contract was ~$4.4k. The thing that surprised me most? Chasing posts with 50+ proposals is a waste of time. What actually worked was making my profile strong enough to get invites + boosting with connects. Here is the setup that got me consistent invites: - Visibility: Turned on availability badge + profile boost. - Portfolio: Added 2-3 sample projects (even template builds work fine). - Copycatting: Studied top freelancers in the niche and modeled their structure. - Completeness: Filled out everything—photo, education, rate, location (no half-done sections). - Pricing: Started lower to build momentum, then raised it after each 5-star review. The Sales Approach: - Always offer a quick video call (camera on, good mic, quiet space). - The "Kickstarter": I got someone I knew to hire me for the first job to get a real 5-star review (absolute game changer). - After each good review, I bumped my rate $5 until I found the sweet spot. - Result: Now I'm at [Insert Rate/hr] and getting about 2-3 invites per week. I taught a friend this same approach and they landed multiple clients too, made $10k+ in a few months. Obviously staying within Upwork rules (no outside contact before contract), but this has been solid for building consistent income. Question for you guys: Anyone else focusing on the invite strategy? What's your hit rate on invites vs cold proposals right now?

I just released a hands-on build where we recreate a Google‑Translate‑style app from scratch — UI in Base44, speech‑to‑text & text‑to‑speech with ElevenLabs, and fast translation via the OpenAI (ChatGPT) API. It’s practical, step‑by‑step, and designed so you can fork the build and make it your own. What I walk through in detail - Base44 UI setup: inputs, clean layout, simple state for easy debugging. - Mic capture: permissions, start/stop, responsive buffering. - STT with ElevenLabs: choosing the endpoint + a live transcript debug readout. - OpenAI translation: lean prompts, handling names/emojis/edge cases. - TTS with ElevenLabs: natural voices, latency tips, and interrupting playback. - Security & shipping: store keys with Base44 Secrets, use an auth toggle, and deploy to a public URL. - Architecture & gotchas: quick flow diagram + fixes for key scopes and publish-time prompts. Extras you’ll pick up - Practical prompts you can reuse and tweak for other language tools. - Minimal “glue” logic patterns you can copy for future builds. - Tips for handling accents, short phrases vs. long dictations, and retrying when the network hiccups. - Clear checkpoints at each stage so you always know if STT, translation, or TTS is the culprit. Outcome By the end, you’ll have a clean, working translator you can demo on desktop or mobile, plus a repeatable pattern for any voice‑in, AI‑process, voice‑out app you want to ship next. If you build your own variant, share a screenshot or short clip in the comments — I’d love to see (and review) what you make. If you found this walkthrough useful, a quick like and subscribe helps me know to make more like it — and feel free to drop any questions or ideas in the comments so I can cover them next.
