Got this from Shabti:"I was learning your course today and I was going through the upwork section step by step to make a profile and I submitted my application. One hour later, they sent me this email, saying: Unfortunately, at this time there are already many freelancers with a similar skillset to yours and we cannot accept your application etc etc. My question is: has it always been like this on upwork and if so, how can I get around this?"The key here is to understand a) this is a good thing and b) what Upwork is ultimately after. There's a good reason they rejected you. Once you understand what it is, not only can you easily re-work your profile to get it approved, but also know exactly what to do to build a client-getting Upwork profile.I explain it all in this episode.Show notes: https://www.johnmorrisshow.com/263

I got this comment on YouTube:"You said that we probably at one point our selves have stopped learning Code because of how difficult it is. Damn man that is so true I've been coding for a few years now and I feel that by doing so I've only prolonged my growth as a Developer Just recently I got a taste of the muney doing some freelance work and its really kick-started me to improve my skills and helped get rid of most of my imposter syndrome but I'm kinda grateful that I'm just getting into this field at the right time :)"I hear this a lot. But, impostor syndrome has a simple cure. When I was deployed to Iraq, I worked in a hospital. I wasn't a doctor or even a medic. And, I feared the day I'd have to work on a patient all by myself. Would I panic? Did I know what I was doing? Would I hurt more than I helped?Then, one day it happened. And, I learned the truth.Here's that story and how it'll help you deal with impostor syndrome.Show notes: https://www.johnmorrisshow.com/262

Got this question from Chris on YouTube:"My question John, is do you get jobs/customers from Twitter, Facebook, and your blog (that you mentioned)? I already consider myself a Dev, even though I've only done one professional job which I fell into accidentally. I've never advertised, and although I have a Twitter acct (and F.B.) I've never used them as a tool for business. My main concern now is how to get jobs. I'm virtually clueless on how to go about doing this. Any advice?"Just like with learning how to code, I think you gotta understand the macro before you can master the micro. I cover that in this episode and show you the easiest and most foolproof way to get clients.Show notes: https://www.johnmorrisshow.com/260
