Bad clients can ruin your momentum on Upwork—waste your time, kill your energy, and leave you with damaging reviews. In this video, I break down the exact strategy I use to spot and avoid bad clients before they ever become a problem.

I cover the two biggest game-changers: how to price your services to attract better clients, and how to present yourself as an expert, not a worker. I also share all the red flags I’ve learned to watch for—cheap negotiation, excessive questioning, poor communication—and a few personal stories of when I got burned (and how I handled it without hurting my profile).

If you’re freelancing on Upwork and want to protect your time, reputation, and energy, this video is a must-watch.
