242: I Paid $10 for a Tech Pack—and You Won't Believe What Happened

How do you compete with low prices on Upwork? Is a bargain the only thing clients will look for?

I did an experiment and hired 5 freelancers at 5 different price points to see what you get for a tech pack at each level. The results are shocking and entertaining. Stick with me as I walk through the results, explaining why these low-priced options can lead to big problems for clients and why you shouldn't undervalue your own work. By the end, you'll see why quality tech packs are worth the investment and why it's okay to charge what you're worth.
