Unpopular opinion: my best week on Upwork was also my worst
Last Tuesday I woke up to three messages from people who wanted to hire me for copywriting gigs. Two of them accepted my proposal within an hour. By Thursday I had $1,200 in escrow which felt insane coming off a dry February. But then Friday hit and all three clients wanted revisions by Sunday. I stayed up until 2am rewriting a landing page for a crypto startup while trying to fix a blog post about pet insurance. By Saturday noon my laptop froze and I lost an hour of edits because I forgot to save. I made good money that week but I also cried in my car after a grocery run. Has anyone else had a killer payday that just wrecked your whole week balance?
