Next Upwork video for you to get more clients and jobs on Upwork, this one goes into more detail on how to use the platform: ruclips.net/video/f23PX2eBoSM/видео.html
POV: You start Upwork so you can work remotely SPECIFICALLY to eliminate in-person communication... Voice is the only possible way to communicate with these people? Aaaaand I can't take their money and run, that's the whole point, so whyyyyy??? ffs...
I don’t usually get sentimental on the internet and tell people I love them but I love you bro. Already gotten a few contracts in under two weeks cause of you 🙏🏾
That was very informative, thanks Aleksander. In addition to his tips always keep an eye on Spelling mistakes and Grammar. This is super important. If you want to be professional then this should be at the top of your list.
Hi Aleksander, Thank you so much for this video. You have explained many big things in the video, but I just have one request, if you really have that much of knowledge and if whatever you are saying in your videos is true, then please share the link to your Upwork profile, or screenshots of your Upwork profile, and show all of us your winning ratios. Make sure, I am asking these questions on behalf of all your subscribers and we don't want to know your earnings on Upwork so you can hide those data. Just show examples of real winning bids that you have actually won. We all really appreciate that. Thank you.
"As long as you're not scared of calls; and if you are, just don't be scared of calls anymore..." Thanks! That worked! Seriously though, I have some problems hearing so calls can be difficult. Not to mention Mush-Mouth tendencies.
@@AleksanderVitkin Yeah, it's weird. My hearing is decent, It's just muffled on a phone or with any background noise. I don't have the funds right now, but I would like to get noise-canceling headphones with a mic that I can Bluetooth to my phone.
Don't use bluetooth. Get a $40 usb gaming headset that is highest rated on amazon for noise cancellation, then amplify audio in windows to the maximum setting.
Hello Aleksander. Thank you so much for the sharing information about proposals at Upwork. Do you happen to have a video for zero experience of freelancing. Hope to hear from you.
Thanks for your useful tips. My strategy to write down a powerful cover letter is followin, Kindly highlight mistakes if you found any 1- Greetings 2- Demonstrate Credibility 4- Demonstrate Reliability 5- CTA
I was quite doubtful from the get-go, as it just sounds too simple to be true. Well, do have to say thank you very much, Aleksander. Since I've been writing my proposals in the style that you recommend here, I get to get on a call with a potential client now as good as every second time I write a proposal. Thanks a bunch!
For entry level you need to build a portfolio. Make samples of the tye of service you provide. You can search here on RUclips on how to create a portfolio for the skill you have.A portfolio is proof of your skills if you are entry level.
@@AleksanderVitkin Yeah, but I mean for example Video Editors are more focused on following instructions. But really good video and thanks for asking :)
What length of time do you recommend scheduling calls? I know that this is depends on the project but what has worked best for you on average in the web development space?
Hi! I love your videos. I have a question about bidding as an agency. When I bid for my agency, I do it on behave of an agency freelancer. For example, for SEO projects i bid on behave of agency member A, and for Wordpress projects, I bid on behave of agency member B. So my question is: How would you adapt the tips and tricks you mention on this video for bidding as an agency? Would you link the agency member profile ( or not because its already there)
If clients do not include all the relevant information you mention in the video (i.e. include details about the project, but do not share their website) how can you give feedback to them? Don't you send the proposal?
@Aleksander Vitkin i am a fresher just have an ID that was made 8 years ago how do i get clients to give me the contracts related to data entry n Graphic design?
Unfortunately, a proposal will never be going to work if you don't have ratings, I tried the client side of Upwork, and usually, new or zero rating freelancers get filtered at the bottom. Most so LEGIT clients will only look for a freelancer with lots of jobs done and decent ratings. so if you are new to Upwork it would be challenging to even get a first client and most of them are scammers who are trying to scam you because you are new to the platform.
HI, I am trying to get my first job on Upwork. Haven't gotten one yet and I am trying. I have 1 question. Can you give some details as to what you say when suggesting get on a call. Do you have to have calendly ? How do you get them on call? What else do you say.. like do you say book a session on my calendly? or something else? Thanks so much.
I need your suggestion, I am submitting 6 to 7 proposal but still not find any work order. Can you provide a suggestion about who to receive work order?
Hi! I'm Ashleigh and I've been on the Upwork Platform since 2013 and have been a Top Rated Freelancer with 100% Job Success Score since 2017. I have a whole Upwork series on my youtube channel for those looking to earn money on Upwork so I can help you out a bit.
Hi. I have been trying to do this but it isn't working. What will you suggest for a person just starting out? Your advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time
You need to optimize it until it works. Nothing in this world that's worth doing "just works" right off the bat, you need to run your business properly, and your lead generation needs to be improved daily.
Easiest way to get banned on Upwork, trying to get clients to contact you via other means e.g CALLS. Do explain CLEARLY how to get them on call without RISKING ban.

Thank you so much, Aleksander! I used your advice in creating my first proposal on Upwork. It's so simple. God bless!
That was very informative, thanks Aleksander.
In addition to his tips always keep an eye on Spelling mistakes and Grammar. This is super important. If you want to be professional then this should be at the top of your list.
I don’t feel like primary school English advice really needs to be part of advice for adults starting a business but sure why not ;)
rule#1: write a proposal to get people of calls instead of selling yourself.
rule#2: write it as project proposal, not as Job application.
Thank you. If I succeed I'll be back for more lesson!
Thank you for these great tips, watching from Nigeria 🇳🇬

"As long as you're not scared of calls. And if you are, just don't be scared of calls anymore. " ... Of course, why didn't I think of that??
Big brain IQ right there
This was a very good Council and change of orientation.
Thank you
Cracking video! A lot of great content. Thank you from (not so sunny) Edinburgh! :)
"As long as you're not scared of calls; and if you are, just don't be scared of calls anymore..." Thanks! That worked!
Seriously though, I have some problems hearing so calls can be difficult. Not to mention Mush-Mouth tendencies.
Hmmm you can get away with chat since you may not have a choice, or solve it with some type of hearing tech.
Of course, if hearing is a physical unsolvable issue, go for chat (y)
@@AleksanderVitkin Yeah, it's weird. My hearing is decent, It's just muffled on a phone or with any background noise. I don't have the funds right now, but I would like to get noise-canceling headphones with a mic that I can Bluetooth to my phone.

Very useful and dynamic method. Going to implement this on my proposals! Thank you!
Wait until you check out the entire playlist ;)
did it worked??

I am going to try your tips. Thank you!
Did you try it? How were the results?

To the point and unique information. Thanks for making this video!
Saw this after sending my first proposal 😂😂😂
It is nice videos ,would help me in attaching sending sample of written proposal I have got difficulties as bignner in writing the proposal.
I will try this! Thanks for the advice!
How is it going?
This was great, so valuable! I was wondering what is a good way to write those proposal but this makes sense now 😄
Hey
@@abdulhammed4244 of course you would say hii🤣
I was quite doubtful from the get-go, as it just sounds too simple to be true.
Well, do have to say thank you very much, Aleksander.
Since I've been writing my proposals in the style that you recommend here, I get to get on a call with a potential client now as good as every second time I write a proposal.
Thanks a bunch!
Good to hear, I always want to chat to people who implement. Reach out to me on facebook.com/aleksander.vitkin if you want.
@@AleksanderVitkin And about to reach out in the next few minutes!
What's about the entry level experience
Yes please!
For entry level you need to build a portfolio. Make samples of the tye of service you provide. You can search here on RUclips on how to create a portfolio for the skill you have.A portfolio is proof of your skills if you are entry level.
This is a really good video, but it's more focused on the logistic freelancers. I'd love to see tutorials like these but on video design :)
Works the same for non-"logistic" freelancers.
@@AleksanderVitkin Yeah, but I mean for example Video Editors are more focused on following instructions. But really good video and thanks for asking :)
What length of time do you recommend scheduling calls? I know that this is depends on the project but what has worked best for you on average in the web development space?
As soon as humanly possible
Which app do you use to schedule calls?
Do you know if we are allowed to use booking links, like Calendly in our proposals? Does it violate ToS? Thanks for the great videos!
You cannot ask for contact info in any way.
thanks, it was helpful.
If you do not like call, just start liking them 😂😂
Hi I’m new to Upwork and I want to start ghostwriting
How do I go about it
Thank you for your tips
Happy I watched this video cause I was about to do about of nonsense 😂
Changes my mind 💯
Can I be your worker? So far, this is the best advise I got from youtube :)
I’m saving this for later’
Great 👏
Could i paste my website url in the cover letter in order to see my portfolio and past work as a proof?
you cannot link to places that display your contact info
Thanks for the wonderful tips
Thank you so much

Have freelancers send proposals, individually.
I just read through your caption and it just inspired me man. I now purpose to be a loyal subscriber.
Hi Aleksander, can you tell me what's the website to review traffic analytics you mention in the video please?
What if there’s no testimonies ? Just like being a beginner in the freelancing world
Great tips!
If clients do not include all the relevant information you mention in the video (i.e. include details about the project, but do not share their website) how can you give feedback to them? Don't you send the proposal?
Guido Hummel Ask them for it and get them on a call.
Great advice...thanks.
Do you screen clients based on their %hire rate?
nah

So after i send a proposal. Then what , do they send a email or what.
@Aleksander Vitkin i am a fresher just have an ID that was made 8 years ago how do i get clients to give me the contracts related to data entry n Graphic design?
Unfortunately, a proposal will never be going to work if you don't have ratings, I tried the client side of Upwork, and usually, new or zero rating freelancers get filtered at the bottom.

Some truth in this comment ..so let me ask is it easier to win jobs with atleast two people having rated your work?
@@sharonsang1213 still challenging but it is a bit better than having zero jobs done or no rating.
Read some of the other responses to this video of people with new accounts who got responses.

James I'm also on Upwork trying to get my first job too. I wish you all the best.
Same!
Now that you can not see the name of the job poster until he replies to your proposal, how do you greet him/her?
You can find clients' name from their reviews. 90% of freelancers might have mentioned it somewhere there.
@@yournextdoorgossiper I somehow found out the solution - but thanks anyways.
Sorry Aleks, but how is that a NOT very long proposal? It could take hours as well writing this "simple" proposal.
Hello, does anyone knows how to send message to freelancers ?
And what if you do not have proofs or links for the work since you are new in the industry
Yeah wondering too

Your advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time
You need to optimize it until it works. Nothing in this world that's worth doing "just works" right off the bat, you need to run your business properly, and your lead generation needs to be improved daily.
What happens if you continue to fail to get accepted for listings on upwork? Honestly trying but…
send 15 proposals per day 7 days a week AND SLOWLY IMPROVE AND OPTIMIZE don't juts do the same thing that doesn't work, it's a funnel like any other
Although i just started upwork so i did not have any jobs and if it is my first job is it OK if i do not give them any links or files of my work?
@@AshleighJessicaTaylor doesn't answer the question. You are just promoting your channels here
This would make sense if clients weren't global and offering 60 hours of work for $5.00
I work with one agency in Australia that gets mid 5 figures of sales monthly from Australian clients. Upwork only.

Easiest way to get banned on Upwork, trying to get clients to contact you via other means e.g CALLS. Do explain CLEARLY how to get them on call without RISKING ban.
You can make calls on UpWork itself.
