Hello there, I'm Hosam 👋
Creating an Upwork Account Changed My Life - I'm Confident It Can Change Yours Too
In 2019, I created an Upwork account while working a customer service job.
At the time, I was making an average salary, had accumulated $100,000+ in debt, and felt stuck in my career.
To top it off, I didn’t have any experience freelancing.
❌ I didn’t know what service to offer.
❌ I didn’t know how to price my service.
❌ I didn’t know how to land a client.
After creating an account, I spent the following weeks studying Upwork's top performers and replicating what worked for them.
By the end of 2022, I had generated $425,000+ in revenue from clients like Snap Inc., Blockchain.com, and SimplyHired.
Over $70,000 of that revenue came directly from Upwork.
In 2023, I sold my tiny one-person agency to a global tech company for multiple six-figures.
That's when I decided to create this course and share what I learned with other beginner freelancers.
Jordan Nelson
Founder @ Simple Salesforce
"Hosam has been an incredible coach and mentor to me. I started freelancing at the beginning of the year with just one low-paying client. I had no idea about the systems I should be using or how to acquire more clients at higher rates. By the end of the year, thanks to the strategies and resources Hosam taught me, I more than doubled what I was making at my full-time job! I wholeheartedly recommend this course without any hesitation."
Christie Capo
Email Marketing Designer
"I've been quite busy! I'm now working with my sixth client. Some of them I've been collaborating with for the past couple of months, and our partnership is ongoing. I'm managing various aspects such as time allocation and my hourly rate, but it's going much better than I had anticipated. I've also been able to attract clients in my niche, so it's been amazing - thank you!"
Ruben Castillo
Product Support Manager
"Hosam has been instrumental in my personal development. He gave me the confidence to venture into this on my own. His extensive knowledge and exceptional communication skills made working with him incredibly easy. I will forever be grateful for learning by his side."
Zach Wermich
Senior Solutions Consultant
"I wanted to thank you for your time during the webinar you hosted recently. Your insights closed a substantial number of gaps, which can undoubtedly fast-track someone's success in the field. I already feel ahead of others just by attending. I can't express enough how valuable I found the session."
