Here's why you should NEVER do automation as a "project"
(copy this strategy to save $20k, and avoid Jordan's mistake)
Silicon Valley (and most professional software companies) moved away from project-based work a couple decades ago.
Here's why:
The vendor either under-quote
I paid a no code developer in December to build a custom platform
The founder is a friend
I paid 10k upfront and 10k on completion
Scope was 3 months
Project never finished
We parted ways
I really got Fd here
The developer/AM sucked so hard
Now I need to pay another

Upwork search has limitations...cannot distinguish between
-"we are looking for a webflow agency" and "we are a webflow agency" (ideal customer...or your competition)
-cannot filter by description length ("I need a good website" or overly lengthy corporate that wants you on

Who wants Upwork job alerts as browser notifications?
customized to your ideal client
With targeted projects PLUS browser alerts my clients will be able to apply first
...for every conceivable job in their niche
...and win more projects than anyone else on the planet.
