I went from barely scraping by paycheck to paycheck, to making over $650,000 on Upwork in just 5 years. ►https://www.upwork.com/fl/joshuaburns

Freelancing on Upwork has improved my life in a lot more ways than just financially. My SQL skill set has evolved at an insane pace because I've had the opportunity to work on so many different SQL projects in numerous industries as well.

I have so much more knowledge and technical ability in SQL because of Upwork and freelancing.

2:47 - Why I Started Freelancing on Upwork
After college in my first job as a SQL database administrator and SQL developer, I realized that I was solely relying on the business to increase my pay.

I knew that if I really wanted to increase my income, then I needed to add additional income sources. So, I researched freelance websites, found Upwork and decided to create an Upwork profile specializing in SQL DBA, SQL Development, and Business Intelligence work.

6:06 - High Paying Freelance Skills
The truth is, if you want to make life-changing money freelancing then you need skills that pay well and have demand on sites like Upwork.

Upwork Tip! Research high-paying skills and then take online courses to determine if you enjoy the skill. The fact that I love working with SQL and databases is a huge reason why I earn over $10,000 a month freelancing.
