Managing your workload on Upwork
In this, we will discuss what to do when your workload will increase this strategy is not only implemented on Upwork but can be on any freelance marketplace. I always emphasize team building and outsourcing because when you hire an employee you will have to give him a salary on a monthly basis because you hire them. If the work is or not you have to pay them a salary. So here comes the concept of outsourcing.
My Facebook group learn freelancing with Hisham Sarwar go and join and represent yourself.

- When you win more projects on Upwork so definitely your workload also increases so you will be inclined in advice to outsource your work. In outsourcing the money is also spent but when you have a good team you will distribute more work among them and the best part is you will not have to give them monthly salaries. When you give them work at once that’s it with terms and conditions.
- You must have to implement outsourcing to manage your workload. Its example is like that in 1998 when I started freelancing on guru.com, so in the starting when I get work, there were Yahoo groups at that time. I used to post projects in Yahoo groups and mention that I prefer web developers from Rawalpindi and Islamabad to whom I would meet and give work to them. I used to have meetings with them and decided that when I got the work and give it to them and decided on a specific percentage depending on the magnitude of the work.
- In the starting when I have to bid a lot and win the projects and at the matter of fact I never stop bidding and I will definitely say that never stop bidding. Work and outsource it. Obviously, the money is spent but your profile is also building time will come to the 6 projects that you have to outsource you will get new projects related to it, and is obviously worth it if you do it yourself and all money you will get. It is very important advice to outsource your work in order to manage your workload.
