📢 How Fake Upwork Jobs Trap Freelancers & Fuel Money Laundering!

Today, I came across a job on Upwork that looked too good to ignore.

✅ $23,000 fixed-price
✅ Payment method verified
✅ Phone verified
✅ 5-star client rating

For beginners, this looks like a dream project.

But here’s the reality ⚠️
🔴 The client has posted only 2 jobs
🔴 Total spend is just $350
🔴 Last activity: 3 weeks ago
🔴 20–50 proposals, 0 hires

This is where most beginners make the biggest mistake. They see “Payment Verified” and blindly send proposals, #wasting_connects, savings, & hope.

I’m not saying every big project is fake!

But in today’s freelancing era, 2026, 70–75% of daily job posts are either inactive, misleading, or created for reasons other than real hiring ⚠️

This includes trends reported globally around fake listings & misuse of platforms.

🔴 A client who can’t build trust with history cannot suddenly hand you $23K.
🔴 If a client isn’t active, isn’t interviewing, & isn’t hiring, your proposal is already dead.

📢 Reality check for beginners
#Upwork is not about sending more proposals.
It’s about understanding client psychology.

✅ Check hiring behavior, not just verification
✅ Study activity, not budget size
✅ Avoid inactive jobs
✅ Report suspicious listings instead of applying


⚠️ What beginners must focus on:
✅ Profile optimization
✅ Client-finding strategies
✅ Proposal writing strategy
✅ Communication skills

You already have skills.
Without these four, you will only burn savings.

⚠️ Awareness (Reported in News):
There have been news and industry reports that platforms like Upwork have been misused for financial manipulation, including #money_laundering through fake high-budget jobs and inactive clients.

Beginners often fall into these traps and #lose_connects, time, & money.

If you’re working hard, feeling stuck, not getting results, and ready to invest in the right strategy, comment Upwork or book a Free Strategy Call from my profile.

📢 In Freelancing Income Mindset vs Business Mindset!

Two days ago, I shared a #poll across my Social Media asking one simple question:

What are your goals in freelancing for 2026?

The results were exciting.

🟢 The majority of votes were for a steady #Monthly_Income.
Only a small number voted for turning freelancing into a business.

This tells me something important about the freelancing ecosystem today:

⤷ Around 90% of freelancers see freelancing as a way to earn a monthly income.
⤷ Only 10% think long-term and treat freelancing like a business.
⤷ Some already have skills and want consistent clients.
⤷ Others are still learning client hunting, struggling to get work, or outsourcing.

⚠️ This is where beginners need clarity.
If your #goal is monthly income from platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, LinkedIn, or other social platforms, here’s what actually works:

✅ Create accounts on all relevant platforms
Do not limit yourself to one platform. Be present everywhere and stay active.

✅ Set up a professional profile
Your profile, description, communication style, and proposals must look serious and trustworthy.

✅ Focus on skills + communication
Skills bring work. Communication closes deals.

✅ Optimize regularly
Profile optimization is not one-time. It’s continuous.

❌ Avoid Shortcuts
Fake reviews, tricks, and policy violations may work today, but they destroy careers tomorrow.

🟢 Now the mindset shift most freelancers miss:
If you want real growth in 2026, stop thinking only about monthly income.

Start thinking about building a business.

⤷ Take more responsibility
⤷ Build systems
⤷ Collaborate or build a small team
⤷ Work on long-term clients
⤷ Treat freelancing as full-time, not part-time

⚠️ Consistency matters more than motivation.
Hard work without consistency doesn’t scale.

📢 One last truth:
There is no return without investment.

⤷ Invest time
⤷ Invest in learning
⤷ Save to invest in tools and growth
⤷ Give freelancing the same seriousness as any business

If you want to start freelancing but don’t understand the roadmap, you can book a free call from the link in my profile or comment “Freelancing” below.

📢 A New Year Gift I’ll Remember Turning Upwork Frustration Into Real Wins!

A few Months ago, Afshan Yasin reached out feeling worried and frustrated about her Upwork Profile. She was spending connects, sending proposals, and not seeing the results she deserved. Like many freelancers, she wasn’t lacking skills, she just needed the right positioning and strategy.

⤷ Her connects were getting wasted
⤷ Proposals weren’t converting
⤷ Confidence was low despite strong skills

She didn’t need more bids.
She needed the right strategy.

We focused on #Profile_Optimization, positioning, and a clear bidding approach. Slowly, the confusion turned into clarity and then into results.

✅ Jobs started coming in
✅ Connects stopped being wasted
✅ Confidence came back

And then she shared this review:

“I enjoyed working with Muhammad Asim. He is beyond my expectations as I was just wasting my connects but with Muhammad Asim's strategy I started winning jobs. A very nice, humble and cooperative person he is, definitely 1000% recommended from my side.”

This review is special to me.
Not just because it’s positive but because it reflects trust.

Thank you Mam Afshan Yasin for trusting me and my process. Starting 2026 with results like this is truly motivating.

📢 If you feel your Upwork connects are getting wasted
⤷ If your profile isn’t converting
⤷ If you want a clear direction instead of guesswork

📢 365 Days on LinkedIn 1.4M Impressions in 2025!

From the very beginning, I took LinkedIn seriously.

⤷ Not as a Facebook-style scrolling app
⤷ Not as a CV storage platform
⤷ But as a professional business and freelancing platform

I’ve been a content creator on YouTube & other platforms since 2018, so when I created my #LinkedIn_Profile, I understood one thing clearly:

Platforms don’t give results. STRATEGY DOES!

🟢 Many people told me:
“What is LinkedIn? You’re wasting your time.”

But I wasn’t here just for impressions.
I was here to generate business, and I did.

Like every year, there were holidays, commitments, and ups & downs. #Consistency_breaks sometimes because life doesn’t move at one speed.

But when I stayed intentional and focused on solution-based content, the results started speaking.

📢 Sharing my last 365 days of LinkedIn analytics:

1.4M+ impressions, purely organic.

With learning, effort, and consistency, I can confidently say that when I share my analytics again in December 2026, they will be even better, InshaAllah.

⚠️ What most beginners get wrong on LinkedIn:
🔴 Using LinkedIn like Facebook
🔴 Treating the profile like a static CV
🔴 No profile optimization
🔴 No content or outreach strategy

✅ What actually works:

⭐️ Companies, Hiring Managers, & Decision Makers are here!
⤷ Optimize your profile for clarity
⤷ Build personal branding
⤷ Share solution-based content
⤷ Stay consistent and track analytics
⤷ Turn visibility into trust and business

I still update my #LinkedIn_Profile, still learn, still improve. This is exactly what I advise my students and those who take LinkedIn seriously are generating real business today.

LinkedIn is not slow.
LinkedIn is not dead.
LinkedIn is not expensive.

Most people just haven’t learned how to use it as a business platform.

What are your #LinkedIn_Analytics for the last 365 days?

Drop a screenshot in the comments.

📢 How One Wrong Niche Selection Can Kill Your Upwork Growth for Months!

A few weeks ago, I was reviewing multiple #Upwork_Profiles during consultations.

Most of them had good skills, decent communication, and active bidding. Yet their profiles were flat. No invites. No visibility. No momentum.

The problem wasn’t effort.
The problem was #wrong_niche selection.

⚠️ When your niche is unclear or mismatched, Upwork’s algorithm gets confused.
It doesn’t know whom to show your profile to, which jobs to match you with, or where you actually belong.

🟢 Here’s what happens when you choose the wrong niche
⤷ Your profile gets impressions but no clicks.
⤷ Proposals are sent but not viewed.
⤷ Skills don’t align with job intent.
⤷ You compete with everyone instead of standing out.
⤷ Upwork slowly stops pushing your profile.

❌ Many Upwork Freelancers make this mistake without realizing it
● They list too many unrelated skills.
● They chase trends instead of demand.
● They apply outside their core strength.
● They copy niches from other profiles without research.
● They think activity will fix poor positioning.
● Some freelancers work in multiple niches at the same time, without even knowing what their actual niche is, which completely confuses the algorithm and kills profile clarity.

🟢 What #Right_Niche selection actually does
⤷ Aligns your profile with the right clients.
⤷ Improves proposal-to-view ratio.
⤷ Strengthens algorithm signals.
⤷ Increases invites and profile visibility.
⤷ Turns effort into results.

Are you confident that your current niche truly matches the clients you want to work with? Tell me in the comments.

If your profile is down and you want to grow your business on Upwork, comment “Niche” below or DM me.

📢 Why Upwork Stops Pushing Your Profile After 30–60 Days (Even If You’re Active)

A few days ago, I was talking to freelancers in my office,

And all of them said the same thing:

“My #Upwork_Profile was great in the first month… then everything slowed down.”

⚠️ No invites.
⚠️ No profile views.
⚠️ Proposals sent, but silence.

And the strange part?
They were still #Active every day.

🟢 Here’s what most freelancers miss:
Upwork doesn’t reward activity.
Upwork rewards performance.

After 30–60 days, Upwork re-checks your profile.

⚠️ If signals are weak, Upwork stops pushing you:
⤷ Low proposal-to-view ratio
⤷ Low profile opens
⤷ No interviews
⤷ Weak niche focus
⤷ Misaligned profile

Then the #algorithm decides:

“This profile is active… but not converting.”

🔴 The big mistake?
Sending more proposals instead of fixing the profile.

More proposals = More connects burned.

And without #optimization, every proposal is a loss. Some even try shortcuts like #fake_reviews, but forget one truth:

⚠️ Upwork profile optimization is not one-time.
Copying from #AI is not optimization.

✅ Optimize daily.
✅ Review weekly.
✅ Adjust from data.

🟢 Your Upwork stats show you:
⤷ Profile views
⤷ Impressions & clicks
⤷ Viewed vs ignored proposals
⤷ Interviews
⤷ Hirings

All pointing to:
● Profile Optimization
● Client Finding
● Proposal Strategy

⚠️ Ignore them, and you lose #connects.

🟢 The solution isn’t working harder.
It’s working smarter.

When your #upwork_profile is optimized:
⤷ Skills match intent
⤷ Niche becomes clear
⤷ Proposals align
⤷ Upwork pushes you again

That’s why I say:
Profile Optimization + Client Targeting + Proposal Strategy are mandatory.

If Upwork stops pushing you, it’s not punishment.
It’s a signal to fix something.

Is Upwork pushing your profile, or are your views dropping? Comment below.

Follow me for practical Upwork insights.

And if Upwork isn’t pushing your profile anymore, comment “Upwork” I’ll guide you.

📢 Fiverr Level at Risk? Success Score Dropped? Read This Before You Panic!

For the last 2–3 days, I was continuously receiving messages and screenshots from my students and other Fiverr sellers saying:

“Sir, my Success Score suddenly dropped.”
“Sir, Fiverr sent me an email that my level is at risk.”

Confusion, fear, and frustration were everywhere.
⚠️ #Fiverr_Sellers who were performing well suddenly saw their Success Score go down.
⚠️ Many received warning emails without clear reasons.
⚠️ Anxiety spread fast across the Fiverr community.

But today, the situation is changing.
📢 Good News: Fiverr has started restoring #Success_Scores.

✅ I’ve personally received multiple screenshots from my students showing that their Success Score has been restored.
✅ Fiverr is actively reviewing seller accounts.
✅ In many cases, the drop was system-related, not performance-related.


This clearly shows one thing:
Fiverr acknowledged the issue and is fixing it.

🟢 Important advice for every Fiverr Seller right now:

⤷ If your #Success_Score has already been restored, stay calm and keep working consistently.
⤷ If your Success Score is still down, don’t panic.
⤷ Contact Fiverr Support immediately and request a manual review.
⤷ Fiverr is reviewing cases and restoring scores where sellers are not at fault.

📢 My message to Fiverr Freelancers:
Don’t destroy your confidence because of temporary system issues. Platforms update, systems change, and sometimes errors happen. Professional sellers #stay_patient, follow the process, and communicate properly with support.

✅ This phase will pass.
✅ Those who stay consistent will survive.
✅ Those who panic will lose momentum.

If you’re facing this issue, take action, not stress.

Did your Fiverr Success Score drop? Or did you receive an email saying your level is at risk?

Why Good Proposals Get Ignored on #Upwork?

3 weeks ago | [YT] | 7

📢 Upwork in 2026!

Upwork is entering 2026 with major shifts, and only freelancers who refine their strategies will truly grow.

The freelancing world is evolving rapidly. Competition is rising, clients are becoming smarter, and platforms like #Upwork are expected to become more skill-driven, more strict, & more transparent than ever. Many freelancers struggled in 2025 because they relied on outdated methods, but 2026 is a fresh, clean start for those willing to upgrade.

📢 What Strategies Freelancers MUST Use in 2026

To succeed on #Upwork in 2026, freelancers need a stronger, smarter approach:

⭐ Optimize your profile properly strong headline, clear skill positioning, solution-based description.
⭐ Master client-finding strategies apply only to relevant, high-intent jobs.
⭐ Write personalized proposals, no templates, no random copy-paste.
⭐ Use AI intelligently, not to fake but to refine and structure.
⭐ Make your portfolio value-driven, show transformation, not just samples.

⚠️ Why Many Freelancers Failed in 2025 (Must Not Repeat in 2026)

⤷ Most struggled because:

⚠️ Outdated skill positioning

⚠️ Didn’t understand how to find the right clients
⚠️ #upwork d on AI-generated proposals without a strategy
⚠️ Didn’t research their niche or client expectations

2026 will reward those who research, adapt, optimize, and execute with strategy.

🟢 What We Expect From #Upwork in 2026
⤷ Stricter screening on both the client & freelancer side
⤷ Removal of low-detail and spam job posts
⤷ More visibility for high-performing freelancers
⤷ Better algorithm signals for skill-positioned profiles
⤷ Stronger trust, better conversions, and a cleaner marketplace

2026 is the year for freelancers who work smart, refine their positioning, and follow a clear system

→ Profile Optimization → Client-Finding Strategy → Proposal Strategy → Communication Mastery.
