Great stuff here. I've been looking all over for someone who actually goes into detail on how to get better at making proposals that bring consistency in getting clients. You've got my subscription.
I love the way you consistently remind us to shift from "golden bullet seeking" to "statistical likelihood stacking". It's combining upfront work to get the ball rolling versus hastily getting a spinning plate circus up.
Hey John. Yeah, I've heard that the client sees the questions before the cover letter. The "hidden" trap you might fall into is if you answer a question, and you want to reiterate something you said in your cover letter. For example, when answering a question, you might say something like, "As mentioned in my cover letter....", and the client likely hasn't seen your cover yet. On a side note: I recently tried to instill this "fear" into the client that you talked about before regarding answering some of these questions. The client did respond, interestingly. They were asking to see some samples, although I already provided them in my cover letter, and again in a question that specifically asked for samples. The last communication was me inviting them to a quick 15-minute Skype call. We'll see what happens. - Ziro out.
Well, for that tactic specifically.... getting the response is the primary goal. You've got them thinking. So, now it's just about the follow-through. Hopefully, it works out, but even if this client doesn't come through... using that fear tactic consistently will get you clients you probably wouldn't have got otherwise. So, glad to hear..
I've been on Upwork for a while, so even if I don't get this job, it's all good. One thing I don't do with a new potential client is follow up when it's "their turn" to respond. I send out invite for them to take action (call, message, etc.), and that's it. I'm not gonna check in about why they haven't gotten back to me. If I never hear from them again, I never hear from them again. Either way, I'll keep you posted. - C.
Thank you so much for your opinion about my upwork and I always thinking about how to make it work but I trying to do as well as possible people technically expert but basic stuff 😂😅😂😉 don't understand that Is the 🎁 copy writing skills.own thinking about the 🎁 human resources department PhD before this course finished is main benefits for the update and writing skills. Thank you so much for your help in this matter.
Time to re-think and re-strategize. In that 6 months, have you changed your profile at all? Have you changed the way you submit proposals? If it's not working, you gotta try a different approach. Get a client account and look at other freelancers offering the same services as you. What do their profiles look like?
Ok, first comment said 6 months. If it's 6 days, then you just need to keep at it. I still recommend getting a client account and doing that research, but this doesn't happen overnight. 6 days is not that long. Keep at it.
Hi John, my upwork account has been suspended for 6 months, even i had given to them some of my experience certificates. My profile name-"Palash Debnath"-Graphic designer. I want your help to get back my profile. thanks//- kindly help me out of this problem.

Not true. I'm only asking $10 per hour and pretty much 10 to 20 per project depending on length and started out getting hired now for the last 3 weeks nothing.
@2:26...as soon as you, "jump right into this," you lost me. You don't SHOW how you get to this screen and the significance of this screen from a noobees's point of view. You are already assuming your viewer has some knowledge of upwork. You should explain this rather than making this assumption. Bye, bye. Time to move on to someone else who explains things better.

I like how concisely you put it. Well said!

Great tips - thanks, John!
Exactly what i was lookjng for. Thank you
Great 🙂
@@john.morris i had one question, what is the order in which the client sees the proposals, is it from latest to oldest or the other way round?
From my memory... it's first submitted at the top and next after that, etc.
What to do when you're new and your most projects are under NDA? Industry: UX, Product deign.
Could you talk something about the topic "WEB DEVELOPMENT VS MACHINE LEARNING CAREER"?

Great info John as always!!
thanks! :D
I think the site freelancer also puts attention on the portfolio you upload
Not sure. Never used Freelancer myself. But, that would make sense.
Sir, I am new on upwork. I'm submitting proposals from 6 months, but no one is accepting my proposal.

you want to be hired in Upwork? Simple, charge $20 or less on every project (sarcasm). Each proposal would be answered.
Not true. I'm only asking $10 per hour and pretty much 10 to 20 per project depending on length and started out getting hired now for the last 3 weeks nothing.
man show the list of proposals what client received, wasted time on dumb video.
