FreelancerSuccess #AgencyGrowth #UpworkJourney
Hey there fellow freelancers and entrepreneurs! 🚀 Just wanted to share a little milestone we recently hit – $800k in revenue on Upwork as our agency, RipeSeed! 🎉 It’s been quite the journey from starting as a solo founder to building a team and growing our business.
Here are a few key takeaways and tips that helped us along the way:
- Honesty is the best policy: We made a conscious decision to be transparent about being an agency from the start, no hidden agendas.
- Client relationships matter: By focusing on solving our clients’ needs first, we were able to build trust and long-lasting partnerships.
- Opportunities in challenges: Even when faced with tasks outside our expertise, we saw them as opportunities to grow and network by finding the right resources.
- Continuous learning and growth: We never stopped learning and adapting to the evolving market needs.
I know starting and growing a business can be daunting, but believe in your vision and stay true to your values. If we can do it, so can you! 💪

I think I saw your post on LinkedIn fly by. Congratulations, and it’s an amazing achievement. Especially considering, you’re doing it out of Pakistan. What people here don’t realize is that crossing 1M in Pakistan is significantly harder and crossing 10M would make you one of the IT behemoths in Pakistan. It’s more a commentary on the state of Pakistan.
Some unsolicited advice. Focus on the data to make sure you are systematic about your growth. And start diversifying your leads source. Next will be diversifying your country. With a seller-doer maybe even yourself spending time in North America or Europe.
I am in Bay Area from Pak. Super proud of your achievement. Let me know if you need any help.
