You are leaving TONS of money on the table by using Upwork.

The entire conceit there is that you’re a commodity and you and the other code monkeys should bid for the job, because you’re interchangeable.

I know freelance Wordpress devs doing $200k per year, but not on Upwork.

How many hours per work do they work? How do they find clients?
