TNC Goes Transatlantic — But the Knowledge Bombs Keep Dropping! 🌍✈️

Next Tuesday night, while Winton and the Barefoot coaching crew soar over the Atlantic en route to Portugal’s International Living conference, you’ll get exclusive access to a brand-new, just-recorded session that could completely change how you approach online freelancing.💥

🎯 "What No One Tells You About Working Online" is a myth-busting, mind-shifting masterclass that dives into the most common misconceptions freelancers have — and how understanding the truth can give you an unfair advantage in this new world of portable income.

Whether you’re just starting out or ready to level up, this one’s packed with eye-opening insights you can’t afford to miss.

📅 Tuesday, April 1st — (and that’s no joke) streaming during our usual call time and available on demand.

Watch your email for the link on Tuesday morning.

Grab your seat, grab your notebook… and get ready to rethink what’s possible.

👉 Register here free. If you registered after early February, you’re good to go for the next 12 months—no need to update again! 💥

Missed the call last Tuesday?

This week, Winton and Heidi unpacked the Upwork Project Catalog, a feature that lets clients “buy” your freelance services like they’re shopping online—no job proposals required.

What’s the Upwork Project Catalog—And Why You Should Care:

🔹 It’s a productized service – You list a specific service with a fixed price, timeline, and deliverables. Think “I’ll write a 500-word blog post for $100,” or “I’ll create a custom wine data sheet.”

🔹 Clients come to YOU – Unlike job bidding, you don’t need Connects, and you’re not chasing gigs. Clients browse, click, pay, and your contract begins automatically.

🔹 It works outside Upwork, too – Your Project Catalog listing gets indexed by Google, meaning you can share your link anywhere—email, social media, your website—and land clients outside of Upwork.

Bonus: You can offer multiple tiers (Starter, Standard, Advanced), include visuals, and even create consultations!

If you’ve got a repeatable skill or expert knowledge, a Project Catalog item is a smart way to forecast your freelance income. All you need to decide is how many you want to do each month!

Now, here’s the news from the Barefoot Consultants world….

See you next week!

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Should You Include Longer Articles in Your Portfolio?

If you're a writer with several 1-page articles in your portfolio but hope to land longer-format work, should you include a 3–4 page sample?
 ✅ Yes—but strategically.

💡 Here's the winning tip: 

Feature your strongest, most relevant shorter articles on your portfolio’s first page (that’s prime real estate!), and save longer samples for proposals or your portfolio’s second page. Why? Because buyers want quick proof you’re the right fit—and long articles upfront can feel overwhelming unless they’re specifically requested.

🎯 Bonus move:

When bidding on projects asking for longer articles, attach your extended sample directly in the proposal to show you’ve got the chops—without cluttering your main profile.

That’s a savvy way to highlight your versatility without losing buyer attention!
