How to write an upwork cover letter that stands out
HTML-код

- Maybe this makes me a "guru" but I just can't give away everything I know for free, I'm sorry. I want to help people, but trying to help everybody requires a lot more time, effort, and energy than I initially thought. And doing everything for free just took time away from me running my own agency and I wasn't really able to help people because I was just giving 1 sentence answers to very complex and complicated questions.
So, I created The Mogul thinking that it would be better to FULLY help 1 person, than to partially help 100 people. Everything, all in one place to help someone succeed to the best of my ability while getting paid for my work. I'm pretty confident I can bring anyone success as long as they are willing to put in the effort on their end. If you watched my free videos on RUclips, imagine the value I would give you if I was actually getting paid.

This is some of the best content for someone who is new to Upwork. Thank you for this.
Well, I am new to Upwork. I write cover letters based on the client's description, trying to keep relevant skills at the top of the cover letter. That has worked for me. So far, I have applied to around 40-60 jobs. For 90% of these jobs, no one was hired. From the remaining 10%, I received 2 offers. This is not a huge number of offers, but I have realized which jobs I should apply to and which I should avoid. Nowadays, managing connects is super important.
How much did you spend on connects? 😮
@@shuvra-kumar-das around 400 .
@@captainrazor4432 oho. Did you get any job after spending 400 connects? If so the how much did you earn from the project?
@@shuvra-kumar-das Not gonna lie, I have earned around $670 in total. None of them are long-term jobs; most are $50-$150 jobs. Currently, I am avoiding applying for long-term jobs because they are costly to apply for and clients are not confident enough to hire newbies like me. I am applying for jobs that cost between 10-15 connects. I will keep following this technique until I earn $3000 in total, after that I might try for long-term jobs.
Wow, I think I would love more videos of you just writing cover letters. Really nice
Watching this video again to digest all valuable information 😊
Thomas I love how you speak
Ahhhhhhhhhh I see why none of my proposals where getting responses omw🙈thank you Thomas!
Thanks for this thomas, if you can could you make a vid about your service delivery? What kind of work you usually do for clients and how you go about managing it/outsourcing it? Ty
sure!
yes please
Heyy Thomas!
Love your videos man, recently started UpWork after a few months trying to get clients for my SMMA through paid ads and content. Decided that UpWork seems like a good way to get clients since there’re already warmed up and are looking for the services I offer. (Already sent out 6 proposals but have yet to see any results, probably need to be more patient and do more reps on outreach)
I would appreciate it if you could make a video on what you do to optimise your profile, going to apply whatever I got from this video ASAP. Thank you in advance 👍
PS: Keep posting man really helps us out
Thanks!
6 is no where near enough proposals. Keep sending! But make sure you aren't just sending blindly
To optimize, I would say spend a lot of time looking at other top freelancers in your niche
Your videos are great... I tried to do work prior to applying for the job but it takes time and you advice that we should send a proposal to jobs that have under 15 proposals.. But until I finish the work.. The job applicants become too much making it harder to stand out 😢
Hi Thomas i really like your videos it was genuine and very real i really like it keep up the good work 👍 but i want to ask you a question. How do you write your upwork cover letter?
depends on the job
Giving any work for free on upwork is a violation of upwork policy.
Asking for free work as a client is against the rules, but a freelancer can choose to provide free work
But either way, I don't advocate people to do free work
A really good video on writing proposals. The only thing is, I would be very careful about doing free work. Somebody who is looking for free samples is unlikely to hire anyone. If he gets 6 free samples from, let's say, 10 people, he has 60 working samples to implement in his campaign. He is not going to hire.
it was that simple? really?
Hi Thomas, how many percentage of the proposals will get you a job on a percentage basis on average?
Very low
This is Great :)
Lying about reading books just to get a view as well as doing free work is a race to the bottom… it’s a disservice to marketers abroad.l and is why we are called liars and hated more than used car salesmen. Your portfolios should speak volumes for your work even if the portfolio work is on a mock client. “These are the signs of the next untrusted guru.”
