Exclusive Offers from Pluralsight to Help You Grow Your Business

Keeping your skills competitive, so you can deliver top-notch work, is one of the most effective ways to build your freelance business—whether by raising your rates or taking on new and more challenge projects. Another way to grow is to share your expertise with others.

A new partnership from Upwork and Pluralsight, an on-demand online education platform, can help you do both through a subscription discount or by becoming a course author.

“Tech skills have a two year half-life on average, and the pace of technology is rapidly changing,” said Jake Vago, Corporate Development Director for Pluralsight. “It’s never been more important for freelancers to stay current in their skills.”

Pluralsight offers more than 5,000 courses for developers, IT administrators, and creatives, which you can take individually or as part of a learning path: a curated group of courses designed to take some of the guesswork out of your professional development. An assessment test helps you identify the strengths and weaknesses in what you already know, so you can focus on filling the gaps rather than starting from scratch.

And if you’re at the top of your game, you can establish your reputation as an expert by becoming a Pluralsight author—an initiative that can help you not just raise your profile but also earn royalties from the course you create.

Subscription Discount

Whether you want to hone your expertise or develop a new one, all freelancers on the Upwork platform can take advantage of this deal:

• 20 percent off an annual subscription
• Unlimited access to 5K+ courses, 40+ learning paths
• Unlimited access to skill tests to measure your progress

Author Program

Help other people learn what you know and build your personal brand by creating a course for Pluralsight. The bar for the authorship program is very high, and is only available to top freelancers on Upwork—those who have a Job Success score of 90 percent or greater or are Rising Talent. It offers a chance to:
Get paid a completion fee for creating and publishing a course.
Receive a royalty based on how much the videos have been viewed each month.

Authors approved by Pluralsight will be engaged through the Upwork platform, so you must be a freelancer who meets the program’s needs and requirements.

Joining the author program is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to enhance your reputation by creating a high-quality course that’s truly yours. Pluralsight gives you access to one million learners worldwide, with tools and a world-class team that has the skill and experience to produce great courses.
