he should see the visualization of that particular report now i am an intermediate to expert somewhere between that in terms of google data studio it is another platform like we discussed google ads so google data studio is another platform which obviously you can do the course on google uh skill shop as well but this will be probably later the first priority should be google ads now i looked at the requirement this client had what i did is i went to google data studio and i had created some dashboards i quickly uh copied one dashboard changed the data and sent him a screenshot told him see this is what i have done and if you want i can do this for you as well obviously it took me one and a half hours maybe two hours i don’t even remember uh and he paid me 30 the total budget was 20 but he ended up paying me 35 for this particular project and this is actually the data studio report i did for him obviously i have changed the data for uh non-disclosure agreement so this is the dashboard he i created for him from the excel sheet and it took me like one and a half to two hours maybe so this is an edit view let me show you how it looks so this is how it looks it has multiple pages and this is all the data now you don’t have to stick to upwork only there are a lot of other websites who do it because i think that is freelancer and i i’m not sure about all of them but i know upwork and freelancer are one of the biggest but the interesting thing is when you go to upwork uh what i realized is i was just going through before making this video so i searched for people who just know google ads so if you see here uh so i it’s like how clients find you and uh so this person here let’s say steve b he’s a google ad specialist and his hourly rate is 105 dollars per hour and he has made one million dollars plus already and he’s just google ad specialist now there is one more google ad specialist and he has also made hundred thousand dollars plus and his hourly rate is 63 but obviously these are like people who have experience for six years or even above but when you start the realistic uh figure i could find is you can make somewhere between 10 to 40 dollars obviously depending on once you start obviously initially you might have to do projects on 10 dollars per hour but once you start doing projects and people give you ratings obviously you can then increase your price for example in my case the project i did uh my client gave me five star now obviously if i was serious and i wanted to do this full time i would have more clients once i have like five star ratings i would obviously increase my prices but this is just to give you an example for example uh if we just look at youtube ads so let’s say youtube ads now if you see here there are people who are youtube ad specialist because they did some projects they liked it and if they’re focusing on youtube ads now youtube ads is a part of google ads but these guys are super specialized they just focus on youtube ads their rate his rate is 150 dollars per hour and there are a lot of people from across the world now this person is 85 dollars per hour and let’s say kuldeep s he is facebook ad specialist google ad specialist and seo now there are some people who are okay this one uh this person here he is just youtube seo expert he just looks at youtube now his hourly rate is 35 dollars.
he has also made more than hundred thousand dollars already and on upwork only as well so if you click on here he will have details now why i’m showing you this is because when you create your profile on upwork and freelancer or any other websites just look at these top uh profiles and create like write your headline like write your details in the same way like they have done so if you see here there might be education and in certain cases most of the people have different profiles here and they have already added what kind of certifications you have now you might be wondering that why i focus so much on certifications because initially when you start working on freelance projects when you see because in these all the websites have i mean uh different workflows but overall what they do is you click on find work once you are done with your courses you’ll click on find work you will search here for let’s say uh google ads let’s say search ads now let’s say you are a search ads expert you will search for projects which are related to search only let’s say let me find something relevant google ads promotion now you will click on this project they have given all the details they have given what is the hourly rate they can pay okay in this case it’s a fixed price of 500 and obviously you’ll go through all the details and once you think that okay you’re good for this you know how to do this you can click on all of them are basics like you have to set up a campaign you have to help them create an account or optimize the campaigns which is you which you will learn in step one trust me but i just asked you to do the step two just to make sure that you are very good before you start then you click on submit a proposal once you click on submit a proposal that’s where you will use your certifications so in your response to this particular profile you can mention in your response that okay in your cover letter that see these are the certifications i have done if you have already done some projects then you can add these project screenshots and whatnot but also you can add like uh tell them that initially if you don’t have any projects you can tell them listen i have done these certifications this is my google ads account i can add you as a user i can show you what kind of dummy campaigns i have done so that you can go through the structure and the research and the keywords i have done and in the beginning that will be really helpful so guys that’s honestly all uh for this video i hope this was helpful for you in any way again i’m telling you like you have to put be confident just put your efforts if you are seriously looking at bringing a freelancer and learning digital marketing skills not just for freelancing projects actually for jobs as well the process is same the first two steps are same i have seen a lot of people being successful in this and i wish you all the luck i would again say just put all your mind and heart in this for a month or two and i’m sure that you will be able to create your monetization streams from all these skills thank you so much i will see you in the next one
