In every Freelancer life, there is a time when you need to cheat the freelance system. No, why do we need that? Let me just explain this with an example. It happened with me. So I'm going to show you my own example. Okay, now here is my Upwork, freelance profile.
Okay, everything looks great. My hourly rate, my skills, my overview, availability, work history, everything looks great. Okay, even you can see most of the clients I think 98% of the clients have given me five star rating, okay, so five star over here five star, then five star five star, okay, five star five star. So, in almost I think 98% of the job I have achieved five stars, okay, so previously Upwork have a rating with stars rating, okay, so whatever the client rates over here, is reflected on this side of the profile now Recently they have changed this weird rating and added something new which is called this job success score. Okay, now this job success score rating is very weird I don't know how they have calculated me I had some clients who hired me, kept me hired for like one year okay without any work because they wanted to avoid re hiring again and again or finding me again and again.
They just kept the contract running. Okay, so that gave me some negative rating. And now my job success score is 68% although I have all my jobs with five star rating, okay, so this is really weird. Okay, so it should not have something like two or three ratings or things to be calculated over here. Okay, so most of the jobs No, I see they have something checked like this. Okay, so this is really weird.
It is how it happened with a lot have old Upwork freelancers okay like me and I have seen few others who had the 4.9 rating and now their job success score is like 82% or 83% they don't qualify at this job success score Okay. Now, the solution now if you are entangled with such a kind of problem and you cannot solve it and then you can do one thing, okay, which is that we are going to have multiple freelance profiles with different names, okay, you can use your brother's name, your mother's name, your father's name, and use that profile to get the things done. Okay. So if your one profile is messed up, you can go ahead and start creating more profiles. Okay. So this happens a lot of time when some angry client or some bad mouth client he just you know, stabbed You in the back and gives you a very bad rating and I don't know sometime it's transparent and sometimes it's at the back end of that free loss system okay to avoid that in the first place I'm going to give you two tips number one is that never get angry with your clients Okay, keep cool and always try to refund to your client to avoid bad ratings okay?
So if they threaten you like, I don't like your work or you have wasted my 10 hours, okay then said then give them like 90% of the refund okay. So they will be happy that they got the money. So it happens a lot of time. So this is two or three tricks I have given you use multiple freelance profile. This is the best cheat I have seen few freelancers using it. I haven't used it much because I have clients outside of these three last websites, okay.
So they are my loyal clients. So I always work with them. Okay, now coming to the cheat number two, cheat number two is that sometimes these multiple profiles can help you get out of the competition. Okay, so what you are what I have seen few freelancers my friends they are doing, they basically trick the system by applying with multiple profiles to a single job application. Okay, so I have a single job application, let me show you. Okay, for example, I have this single job application top skilled web designer with UX UI.
Okay. So what I'm going to do is I am going to apply over here with this profile, then I am going to log out and log in, or maybe use my other browser where I have logged in with another profile and I am going to apply the same job with some other rate. Okay, maybe I apply $50 on this website and with this profile, using this profile, and on the next one, I'm going to use maybe $20. So just to check the client mind so this can really improve your chances of getting that job. Okay? So higher chances of getting that job.
Now, I don't recommend that you use these cheap tricks unless you are really hopeless. One more thing is that on Upwork or maybe other freelance websites, you can create two accounts. One is a freelancer account and other is an agency account. So you can create your design agency or code agency coding agency, and you can apply from those profiles. Okay, so you can already have two profiles. But still, if you have to get dirty and get some cheating, apply two years this freelance system you can have multiple profiles.
Okay, so this is all about solving three last problems. So keep me updated. If you like my trick or this cheap dirty tricks, ask questions. I would love to hear them and answer them. Okay, so let's move on to the next lesson.
