Hoping my Brother Works Hard

I pay USD 10 monthly to get more bids using my credit card and I hope younger "brother" will work hard at getting bids and jobs and work every day, just like I do - blogging constantly and working by the computer frequently. Perhaps writing may not need so much brain power and he needs to rest; so I will just let it be. And I hope to get my returns in the investment and joint account. He has the knowledge, but I hope he also uses it productively. Sleeping in is so inviting and comfortable. But lazy hands will bring about poverty and one will go hungry. Be like the ant; working hard, storing food up for winter like retirement so that it will be golden and not woeful.

Not easy being a freelancer on Upwork

Upwork is a good place to find and bid for jobs with constant offers. But to win the bid, you have to pass tests like programming in constructive C, Ruby on Rails, PHP, etc. if you are looking for programming jobs. Well, I failed my writing jobs in the past due to mistakes made. There are a lot of people needing Shopify and web or mobile development projects and this pays handsomely. I have partnered with a younger brother who's a computer science graduate and we are working together, hopefully for a long time to come. I have other projects that I might need his help, but so far, he has not accepted any for paid ones from me. And Upwork takes 20% of the commissions that you earn. If you bid for $300 job, $60 goes to Upwork, leaving you with only $240 !
