This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation Sam Bazzi, a long-time freelancer who’s made more than $4 million on Upwork . After a battle with kidney disease, Bazzi started the nonprofit If Sam Can Do It, an organization dedicated to educating people about kidney disease and teaching kidney patients the skills necessary to find part-time work. The story has been edited for length and clarity.

I’ve been freelancing my whole life. I started off back in the day on Craigslist. In the mid-to-late 1990s, I would go on Craigslist and message every single person who put up any post related to internet marketing or creating a website and so forth.
