📞 Remote Income Goldmine: Highlights from This Week's Training

Did you miss this week’s live Tuesday call? Here’s what Winton and Heidi covered in our smokin’ hot session on the new face of customer service—and why it’s one of the most flexible, in-demand paths to consistent freelance income today.

1️⃣ This Isn't Yesterday’s Call Center Gig
Modern customer service means concierge-level support, chat-based tech help, virtual reception, onboarding management—and sometimes even client fulfillment for celebs and influencers. Yes, really.

2️⃣ Thousands of Openings, Daily
Over 7,000 active customer service and support jobs are posted on Upwork at any given time. From part-time virtual assistants to $96K/year client experience managers, the range is broad—and growing.

3️⃣ Great Entry Point = Great R&D
Don’t overlook mid-tier or even “starter” jobs. These let you:

• Build proposal-writing muscle

• Learn inside systems and client workflows

• Spot higher-paying niches you never considered

4️⃣ The Skills You Already Have Count
If you’ve been a teacher, tech support go-to, office admin, or even just a natural problem solver—you’re qualified. And tools like ChatGPT can help you polish your communication on the fly.

5️⃣ White-Glove = Higher Pay
Clients will pay premium rates for freelancers who can make their high-end customers feel supported and prioritized. It’s not just about answering questions—it’s about managing relationships like a pro.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

🎓 Doctor or Veteran? What to Include (and Where to Include it) on Your Profile

This week’s question actually came in three parts—and touched on some powerful profile strategy tips you might not be using yet:

🪖 1. If you’re a veteran, say so!
Upwork lets you indicate if you have military experience, and it’s always worth selecting. Why? Clients with government contracts often must subcontract a portion of their work to veteran-owned businesses or freelancers—and selecting this tag helps surface your profile when those clients search.

🎓 2. Got a doctorate? List it clearly in your education section.
Even if it’s not a PhD, your doctorate absolutely belongs on your profile—but keep it in the education section. Include your area of study and school so clients can understand the context of your expertise.

❌ 3. Should you put “Dr.” in your profile title or name?
Generally, no. It can be confusing (many clients assume “Dr.” means medical doctor) and may seem overly formal or off-putting—unless it’s directly relevant to the job. For example: if you’re a Doctor of Economics and the job is economics-related, signing the proposal with “Dr. Jane Doe” is perfectly appropriate.

✨ TL;DR: Use your credentials—but use them wisely.
Visibility tools like tags and keywords help get you found, while how you present those credentials (and where) affects how clients connect with you.
