How To Rock Your Freelance Career On And Off Upwork With Michelle Christina Larsen

I met Michelle Christina Larsen a few years ago when she posted a job on Upwork that I applied to. Ever since then, I’ve loved following her journey and seeing all the fantastic content she’s put up around freelancing. She is an amazing fashion copywriter with a tremendous resume and loads of experience. I was thrilled when she said that she’d be on The Ambitious Freelancer because I knew that she would bring amazing advice to the show.

If you want to run a business on and off Upwork, Michelle Christina has advice that will take your freelance business to the next level. To date, Michelle Christina has earned over $60,000 on her Upwork profile and worked with huge brands like Refinery29 and Intermix off the platform.
