+John Morris Yoooo man I sent a client my cover letter and 3 hours later he sent me a message wanting to schedule a conversation with me! Omfg thank you man!! Now I can sit down with my first online client ever!! :):):) So I'm excited to meet this dude, you have no idea man lmfao THANK YOU!!
I had actually thought of using the cut and paste method(Pre written script) It's really easy and saves time. I did not know how bad that a pre written script would me look on a proposal. Freelancing is brand new to me and I wish to learn all I can thank you.
Hey John, Thank you for your advice. It really works! I've been submitting proposals for a month now and never receive any invitation to interview nor a feeback. Today I watched this video, followed your advices before submitting another proposal. And only 2 hrs that I have submitted it I got message from the employer and I am scheduled for an interview. I really appreciate your help.
As I go through your series, I just keep finding a resonance to the way I like to think. You have enunciated it much better than I have. Thanks and keep this up!
Hello friends, I'm viewers from Indonesia. I love your tips of make a winning proposal. Now I started to understand how to make it. But I quite confuse about the "give value" part. How we give them "trust" if we are never meet, is it from words or file attachment? Thanks before :)
So how long do you spend on a proposal? There must be a time spent proposing v time not earning thing. If I spend an hour making the perfect proposal, then it not lead to anything, it's not a waste of time, but time that could be better spent... So John, :) how long do you spend on each proposal roughly??
What has so far most discouraged me from writing proposals is that I can never seem to find the full description of the project. Instead all I see on the site is a very brief and non-specific description of the project and then a bid button.What would be useful is a tutorial on how to get the project specifications without having to place a bid. It just seems to me that to bid on a project before knowing the specifics is dishonest and unprofessionsl
+Pallav Rai I use a remote web server so they can see it and mess with it. I cover my entire process in this video: ruclips.net/video/yT1Z2mFyAII/видео.html

+Deril Robinson scripts have a time and place. It's just too easy to get into copy/paste mode and not pay attention to the job you're bidding on.

would it be possible for you to create a sort of verbal short-cut ? too many periphrases in your description yal !!
+Jose Duran not sure what you mean

SIr john morris , how do you send a sample for your client or do you provide your full website before getting paid??

Why do Muricans talk so slow? It's a good thing RUclips allows me to speed up the video 2x just to get an adequate talking speed.
+Flash Man so non-Muricans can keep up? :o
10 minutes in and your still have not got to the point.
+jean sutherland Sorry you were disappointed.
