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.

Yes, though I get the feeling the person is trading free time for that cash. That includes avoiding bizdev hustle and doing taxes.

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