Hey Everybody! My name is BAKOR IVO and I’m currently offering Virtual Assistant services as well as Virtual Event and Zoom Operations Support on Upwork. I’m at the entry level of my Upwork journey, so I haven’t earned any money or worked with clients on the platform yet. Right now, my focus is on learning, improving my skills, and landing my first few opportunities so I can grow with real-world experience. The reason I joined this community is to learn from others, stay motivated, and build a solid freelance career while connecting with people who are on the same path. Outside of Upwork, here are a few things I enjoy doing for fun: 1. Learning new digital tools and tech skills 2. Watching documentaries and educational videos 3. Reading about personal growth and self-improvement 4. Exploring creative content on YouTube and social media 5. Helping people solve problems or understand new ideas 6. Listening to music and relaxing with good conversations See you around!

Hey guys, I decided on 12/19 to boost my upwork profile. Less than 24 hrs later I got invited to my first job in 6+ months through the platform(other than generic research invitiations for flat $20). I have deep level of expertise so my rate is a reflection of that, with that said, this project was painstakingly low value for me it was $50 bucks for about 3 hours of work(fixed price, I took on all the risk). I countered at my normal rate $150/hr but the client said he could not afford me, to which I responded, if he could give me a 5 star review I would be happy to take on that project. As I am trying to use upwork as an income source. It turned out really well. He was blown away with the value I gave him(I am super business oriented so I could explain complex ideas very simply and help him learn too). Fixed his problem very quickly that he had apparently spent multiple days on. He was so happy that he gave me a bonus bringing the total earnings to $75 and gave me my 5 star review. Want to share this encouragement that even if you are used to certain pay, you are running a business, this is an investment opportunity. Paid off for me!
