I was scrolling my LinkedIn feed this morning and came across something unusual.

A YouTuber was saying Upwork is the worst place for Freelancers.

The thing is, there is one simple reason why I talk about Upwork so much.

It is simple to generate leads from Upwork.

Whereas, if you decided to generate leads from social media.

You will have to engage with other people, create content, and DM people to let them know you sell something.

Whereas, leads on social media do not have high buying intent.
