How much are you willing to spend chasing a client before you start questioning the return?
In this episode of PPC with YRV Dynamics, Yousaf Yunes shares his frustrations with Upwork and how his experience on the platform has changed since launching his agency in 2022. From platform fees to Connects and the disappointment of proposals that go nowhere, he explores what client acquisition really costs freelancers and agency owners.
Beyond the frustration is a bigger business question: could that time, money, and energy do more for your own brand?
Yousaf discusses building relationships through referrals, cold outreach, paid advertising, LinkedIn, YouTube, and podcasting. He also shares why showing your face and talking about your work can open doors—even when putting yourself out there feels uncomfortable.
In this episode:
How platform costs can eat into the value of winning a client.
Why proposal spending deserves the same scrutiny as an advertising budget.
The risk of relying on one marketplace for new business.
Ways to build visibility and generate opportunities beyond Upwork.
Why being proud of your business means letting people see it.
If you’re a PPC freelancer, media buyer, or agency owner questioning what you’re getting back from your prospecting spend, this episode will give you plenty to think about.
