Missed last week’s call?….🔍 If You’re Job-Hunting Online, You Need to See This
This Tuesday, Winton took us into part two of our “what’s next” roadmap—showing his strategic method (live!) for searching Upwork to find higher-paying, right-fit jobs after you’ve completed your first couple gigs.
Here’s the cheat sheet version 👇
🔹 Project Management = Your Secret Superpower
You’ve likely managed people, deadlines, or budgets—congrats, you qualify.
➡️ Thousands of jobs posted every week—many at $40–$100/hr.
🔹 Don’t Rush Big—Build Smart
Land 2–3 projects in the $100–$1,000 range first.
➡️ Clients trust what they can see in your history.
🔹 Use the Filters. Train the Algorithm.
Always choose “Payment Verified” and “10+ Hires.”
➡️ Higher-quality clients, less ghosting, faster wins.
🔹 See a Tool You Don’t Know? Learn It Fast.
Spotted “Monday.com” in a posting?
➡️ YouTube + 2 hours = ready to bid.
🔹 Health & Wellness is a Goldmine
7,800+ listings for wellness advice, meal plans, recovery coaching & more.
➡️ Use search terms like health OR wellness to open the floodgates.
🔹 Your Voice Could Be Your First Gig
Narrate a video, read a script, or chat about vacation plans.
➡️ Real voice gigs. Real pay. No fancy studio needed.
✅ Winton’s Tip of the Week:
❤️ Heart 5 gigs, apply to at least 1, and watch how the algorithm starts working for you.
More visibility, better offers, bigger results. 📽️Watch the replay in your course platform and put it to the test
Now, here’s the news from the Barefoot Consultants world….
See you next week!
💬 What Happens When ChatGPT Joins a City Council Fight?
Tuesday night, during the Live AI Lab, Winton walked us through a real-world prompt from one of our members—and it was a powerful reminder of how AI can be more than just a clever tool.
It can actually equip you to advocate, organize, and make your voice heard.
A Barefoot Consultants member was facing a frustrating situation in their hometown: a company planned to build a waste facility just 250 feet from a residential neighborhood. At the next public hearing, she wanted to speak up—but wasn’t sure how to prepare.
Winton showed us, step by step, how to feed that challenge into ChatGPT.

Here’s what happened next 👇
🧠 What ChatGPT Helped Create—in Minutes:
A professional public statement for the upcoming hearing—reasoned, respectful, and backed by EPA language
A flyer, social media posts, press release, and even letter templates to local officials
An agenda for a community organizing meeting—with time limits!
Button slogans like:
“We’re 250 Feet from Furious”
“Inspectors Visit... Every Leap Year”
“Ask Me About My Toxic
And finally, ChatGPT offered to write Facebook group copy, generate a group banner image, and create a QR code for petitions.
🛠️ Key Takeaways You Can Use:
AI can help you advocate—from public speaking to neighborhood organizing.
The right prompt unlocks real, ready-to-use materials for community issues.
You don’t need to “write” everything from scratch—ChatGPT can handle the heavy lifting if you ask the right questions.
