The problem it solves

You want to spot new freelance opportunities or track market trends, but checking Upwork manually every day is tedious and easy to forget. By the time you look, the best listings are already gone.

Who it fits

How it works

  1. Runs automatically on a schedule
  2. Scrapes new job listings from Upwork
  3. Extracts the key details of each posting
  4. Adds each new listing as a row in Google Sheets
What you get

New Upwork postings logged for you to review

New Upwork job listings get logged into your spreadsheet automatically, giving you an ongoing record of what's being posted in your field.

What you get

A continuously updated spreadsheet of new freelance job listings.

What you need

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
