Why This Exists
Why This Exists
I built this after my own “abundance mindset” overdraft.
I gave away so many Connects to prove my system worked that Upwork probably thought I was a non-profit. And at some point, I was paying people to HELP THEM get hired,
This all stemmed from being terrified that someone would call me a scammer, so I became everyone’s unpaid mentor instead.
Then my bank account flatlined and I realised: maybe I was the experiment.
So I rebuilt The Paid Squad.
No saviour complex.
No pseudo-spiritual funnel vibes.
Just a working system for freelancers who want results without performing enlightenment on Zoom.
Why (version 4) Now?
Upwork, after 2025, is a jungle … and not the cute, Instagrammable kind with cascading but (let’s bring that word back) waterfalls and digital nomads.
- No shade to Thailand or Bali -
The algorithm’s changed.
AI sludge and #workslop is clogging clients’ inboxes and our Feeds.
Everyone’s “10x faster with ChatGPT.”
Clients can’t tell who’s real anymore.
Meanwhile, the “Find Work” tab has also turned into a Casino.
You deserve better odds.
The Paid Squad doesn’t teach you to manifest clients. It teaches you how the algorithm actually decides who gets seen. (Spoiler: it’s not crystals or spells at midnight. It’s math.)
The Paid Squad - Flywheel -
Your niche isn’t oversaturated.
Your system is under-engineered.
Every thriving Upwork profile runs on seven gears…
1️⃣ Get Viewed → THE MOST IMPORTANT
2️⃣ Get Interviewed → start conversations that matter.
3️⃣ Get Hired → land premium contracts.
4️⃣ Get Working → deliver like a pro, not a martyr.
5️⃣ Get Paid → on time, every time.
6️⃣ Get Reviewed → stack visible proof.
7️⃣ Get Growing → scale to consulting or agency work.
Miss one, and the whole thing grinds like a 2009 MacBook fan.
That’s why every member starts with the Invite Simulator™… it’s my own BMW diagnostic that shows what’s jammed and how to fix it.
Inside the Squad
The Squad is pure calibration. not a course.
• The Paid Pillars Framework – step-by-step visibility engineering.
• Neuro25 AI – writes proposals that don’t sound like they were born in ChatGPT’s basement.
• Live Coaching (3×/week + Sundays) – not “energy calls,” actual strategy sessions.
• Monthly 1:1 Check-Ins – accountability with context, not pep talks.
• Daily Resource Drops – because Upwork updates more often than your ex.
• Premium Squad App – real community, zero FREE DISCORDS. No ghetto slacks CHANNELS.
No journaling prompts. No “boss babe” templates. Just competence, scaled.
THIS IS our SQUAD. THIS IS OUR CLIQUE.
THIS IS our SQUAD. THIS IS OUR CLIQUE.
REAL PEOPLE. REAL RESULTS.
HE JOINED THE PAID SQUAD nervously - as a full-time bcom accounting student.
AND SIX (6) MONTHS LATER, he HIT A SQUAD-RECORD HIRE RATE.
Two sessions in, we raised his rate to $37/hr. Giving him a Potential monthly income of $5,920 - CAs would kill for this. Then, we rebuilt his searches, and mercilessly used the Quick-L 😉 from version three, so he’d stop wasting his Upwork Connects - (you know, the ones I kept sending him? 😬) on duds.
In 2025, using Neuro25, he shipped proposals in ~5 minutes and paired each one with a visual, metrics-first case study.
Result: a comprehensive portfolio, repeat clients stacking, and a close rate that turned heads. That’s not luck, my lovelies… That’s math in motion.
