Let me introduce myself
Hi, I’m Geraldine. I sit on both sides of Upwork.
In uni, I couldn’t afford a wig, and some months I couldn’t pay for my school projects. My first job paid ₦25,000 a month. Then my first Upwork contract, editing short-form videos, paid me $1,690.
Today I run Watchtime Studios, a video editing agency for YouTube creators in the US, UK, Canada and Australia. I hire freelancers on Upwork for my agency, and I still pitch and get hired there myself.
That means I see what makes me open a proposal, and what makes me scroll past. This class is everything I wish freelancers knew before they sent me one.

What we’re covering
Four lessons. One live session.
· with time for your questions at the end.
LESSON 02
The first two lines of a proposal
Clients see a preview before they open anything. This is where you win or lose the click.
- Why “Hi, my name is…” gets skipped
- Leading with the client’s problem
- What makes me open a proposal
LESSON 03
Choosing jobs you can win
Applying to everything is the fastest way to burn your Connects and your confidence.
- Reading a job post properly
- When to skip a job
- Spending Connects wisely
LESSON 04
Pricing when you’re new
How to price without reviews, without looking cheap and without scaring clients off.
- Avoiding the “too cheap” signal
- Starting with no reviews
- When to raise your rate
You’re here for a reason
Does any of this sound familiar?
You have a skill, but no clients yet
You know you’re good at what you do. You just don’t know how to get someone to pay for it.
You’ve sent proposals and heard nothing
You’ve spent Connects on job after job, and nobody has replied. You don’t know what’s going wrong.
You opened an Upwork account and froze
The profile is half done. You’re not sure what to write, which jobs to apply for or what to charge.
You want something alongside your 9-to-5
You’d like to use your skill on evenings and weekends, but you don’t have time to figure it all out alone.
You’re starting fresh somewhere new
New city, new country or fresh out of school, and you want to build income from your skills, from wherever you are.
You’ve heard Upwork is “too slow”
And you’re not sure whether to give it a real try. This class will help you decide with real information.
This class is built to help with
Each one of those.
A profile that reads like a solution
Proposals that get opened
Knowing which jobs are worth your Connects
A starting price you can defend
Seeing your work the way a client does
A clear first step, not another vague tip
By the end of the class
You’ll know exactly what to fix first.

A proposal opening that fits you
How to write your first two lines so a client wants to read the rest.
Where I work from
Based in Lagos. Working with clients worldwide.
I run my agency and my own freelance work from Lagos, for creators in the US, UK, Canada and Australia. No office, just a laptop and a good internet connection.
So what’s the catch?
There isn’t one. Here’s how it works.
The live class is free, and everything in it is yours to use. At the end, I’ll tell you about my Upwork Masterclass: everything I do to land dollar-paying clients on Upwork, with my real proposals and a private community. Everyone at the live class gets it at a special price, and that price is going up soon. Buying it is completely optional. The free class stands on its own, and you can leave whenever you like.

Before you sign up.
Is it really free?
Yes. You don’t need a card to sign up. Put in your name and email and your seat is saved.
When is it, and what time is that for me?
Live on . If you’re in the UK, that’s .
Where does it happen?
On Google Meet. Your link comes to your email as soon as you sign up, and I’ll send reminders before we start. You can join from your phone or laptop.
How long is the class?
About , including live Q&A at the end.
Will there be a replay?
No. This class is live only, so please come on time. Add it to your calendar as soon as you sign up.
Do I need an Upwork account already?
No. If you don’t have one yet, the class shows you what to get right when you set it up.
Who is this class for?
Freelancers and 9-to-5 workers who already have a skill (editing, design, writing, development, marketing, VA work or any other high-income skill) and are ready to put in the work to get paid for it. Video editing got me paid, but this isn’t an editing class. If you’re starting from zero, my beginner video editing class is the better first step.
Are you affiliated with Upwork?
No. This is an independent educational class. I’m a freelancer and a client on the platform, not an Upwork employee or partner.
