I make like $2500/month but not fully online. Aiming to transition to a fully location independent model by Q3.

How many are you making only online ? Just curious

Not really conscious type of business 

And even for survival needs

Doing a scam will just back fire on you a day so if you expect to meet your survival needs for a long term it is a really bad advise 

Not if you do it consciously. Conciously means doing and not thinking, paying attention to your feelings(body sensations) and emotions, you dont do it consciously when you say this is bad, or this is good.

Karma is not eye for an eye.

@Michal__ can I learn it in one week or in such period? And how

No, you can't be ready to offer websites to clients in one week. Not even 3 months. You need deep submersion for a minimum of 9 months, I'd say, and that's probably too optimistic. You have to survey the entire landscape and know what all the things are, and it's a big fucking landscape. 

The secret to making it on Upwork is:

- Provide high quality work 
- Over-deliver 
- Maintain a 5-star profile with a 100% job success score 
- Communicate well 
- Be responsive 
- Start out cheap and only focus on getting 5-star reviews - don't even worry about money. It's against their TOS but I told clients when I was starting out I could do their work for next to nothing in return for a high quality review. There will be some cheap clients who will take that bargain, so use them to build your profile. 

Also, Upwork is saturated with web developers - it's a race to the bottom - so you need a niche. I was successful on Upwork by building HTML emails and landing pages for marketers in their automation platforms like Pardot, Marketo, Hubspot, etc.

I no longer have to rely on Upwork because I found a few agencies who keep me busy. Ideally, you'd find and stick to a handful of clients who can keep you busy so you're not always switching context and having to learn new client processes all the time. But in the beginning, you gotta take anything and everything and over-deliver it all.

You gotta grind hard for like a year or two.
