Paul Mendes

Paul delights in shaping his own future. For as long as he can remember, he has yearned to embrace each day on his own terms and truly savor life. That's why in 2016, he stepped away from the traditional 9-5 grind and embraced the freelance lifestyle. Since that pivotal change, he has never looked back. Paul has risen to become one of the highest-rated freelancers on Upwork and is now dedicated to sharing his knowledge through detailed, practical lessons that pull back the curtain on how he successfully serves his clients.

Empowering others to take charge of their futures and achieve their dream lives is Paul’s passion. He leverages his own experiences and proven methods to guide students at the Zero to Mastery Academy on how anyone—regardless of experience or field—can thrive as a freelancer.

In addition, he regularly shares insights on the current and upcoming trends in the freelancing world on his blog and YouTube channel. His aim is to provide students with a clear roadmap to becoming successful freelancers and, most importantly, the self-assurance to get started.

Beyond freelancing, Paul boasts a wealth of experience in digital marketing, specializing in areas such as Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Pay Per Click Management (PPC), User Experience (UX), Web Design, and Market Research.
