Just wanted to share a quick but super useful update from Upwork’s Summer 2025 release — something I think every freelancer should know.

Upwork has rolled out Job Alerts as part of their Freelancer Plus plan. This means you can now set up real-time alerts to get notified the moment a job that matches your skills gets posted. No more scrolling endlessly — just set your preferences and get alerted instantly when the right gigs go live.

Because being early is everything. When you’re one of the first to apply, your proposal stands out more, and you increase your chances of getting hired.

I’ve already started using it and it’s a game-changer — especially if you're in a competitive niche. Set alerts based on specific keywords or job categories, and let Upwork do the job hunting for you in the background.

Keep showing up, keep cheering each other on — and as always, run happy! 🏃‍♂️💛
