When your Upwork Money Comes In

This Easy Method To Make At Least $500 A Month With Upwork And An AI Tool

Finding a hustle that could replace your monthly income and work immediately isn’t easy. I thought this too, but as Albert Einstein said, if you keep trying different solutions, the law of probability will allow you to succeed. I am now using this easy method to create a side income that helps my family and me get what they need.

I Was So Poor It Hurt.

I have been one of these people who would scroll through Youtube and Medium articles for the next business idea. Over the years, I have drop-shipped, domain-flipped, tried print on demand and even sold lion bracelets (Yes, I even go that far back.), so you name it, I have probably done it.

But these methods never really worked out for me. I would usually go bankrupt before I would ever see any financial promise. But recently, I had been watching videos on drop-servicing, which gave me an idea.

I only had roughly £20 in my bank account. But I knew I could make it, and so this is what I did.

For those who don’t know what Upwork is, it is a massive jobs forum, an upmarket Fiver where the people look for jobs that employers have posted, and you both settle on a fee for your work.

I noticed there were a lot of transcribing jobs, meaning the client would have an audio file that they would want someone to type out the transcription into a Word document.

Being dyslexic, I realised this might not be the job for me. However, many years ago, I remember using software called Otter AI. At the time, this was an incredible piece of software that could take audio of people speaking and automatically write it up for you; including timestamps and who was talking.

I Think You Are Starting To Get The Idea Now.

So I responded to job posts explaining that I was a freelance transcriber with the right skills and software to carry out their task. Within the first few tries, I got my first job, transcribing a university interview.

My Process

Once the client had given me their audio file, I would upload the file on Otter.AI to process it. Of course, the transcription is never 100% correct — this is not a passive income stream. However, it does about 97% of the hard work.

Next, I would go through the text that Otter.AI had generated to ensure that all the words were correct and in the right place. Again, the Otter.AI software makes it super easy to edit and change the generated text.

A Thrilled Client

Once I was happy with my transcription, I would export it as a Word document, sneakily delete all the Otter.AI branding (which is super quick to do) and pass it on to my client on Upwork.

And That’s It

I have done this as a wash and repeat system that generates a side income for my family and me. This method also works if you are someone with a few hours a day in which you want to earn some income.

Would it be unreasonable to try it?

I don’t get any commission from this, so it would helpful if you gave this article a like and followed me for more tips.
