It's a good statistics!

@@levtone Thanks bro

You're welcome

The reason I filmed this video is to help you receive more of them.

Thanks for watching! Appreciate your support.

You got this! No doubt, you will become even more efficient over time.

@@levtone yes that's true and I have got like 11 views on my profile last week. Am very happy. But how long do you think it will take me to get to top rated??

It takes at least 90 days from the day of registration. Btw, I once made a fun video on this topic: ua-cam.com/video/JGbvgQlrDEo/v-deo.html

@@levtone yes, I checked it nice work bro.

Thanks!

Thanks, Matthew. Actually, I add subtitles to every UA-cam video on my channel; you just need to turn them on.

Thanks mate! There are tons of tutorials on every aspect of the Upwork game on the channel.

Glad it's helpful! To make content bold I discover the typical pain points and goals of my avg client and trying to appeal to these factors in my proposals.

Let's go!

I'm a graphic designer if you need. I want to work with you.

Hey, shoot me a DM on X, and I will give you all the details.

@@levtone I messaged you but I didn't get any response back from you.

Can't find a message from you. What is your name over there?

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!

Hey bro, I'm 38 too! Well, I believe that all of these will be in demand. The real question is which area among these you are better in right now and what you enjoy the most. I am saying this because the competition is getting tougher each year. You need to pick one and be ready to go the extra mile. Promoting your agency is infinitely easier if you specialize in one service. There is no such question as Upwork, website, or LinkedIn. You need all of them. It's where your clients are. You have to figure out how to land clients on one platform, then you can add another. Now, I am getting about 60% from Upwork and the rest from LinkedIn and Twitter.

​@@levtone Thank you, I have a passion for both, but the truth is that with the development of artificial intelligence and the advancement of age, the design skill is certainly becoming more complex and competitive because of artificial intelligence, but I think that I should focus on building landing pages and sales and marketing paths that will be a little less competitive and I will be able to advance in them, but the idea is that the percentage of profit or Continuing frequently is not the same as, for example, designing short advertising videos. What is your opinion and nomination based on your experience?

My opinion that there is always the room for the best. So it's just not the right approach to pick the niche based on the approach that it seems less competitive. I would do quite the opposite: pick the niche that seems harder and slowly but steadily build a name there and learn what it takes. I don't see AI as a threat to most marketing niches, at least in the next 10 years.

Anytime! Update me with your results!

Yep, it's getting really important to filter out the best jobs. I am glad that my videos are helping you to move forward.

@greengreen3370 Thanks for this comment! I certainly consider evaluating the job post as critical, but I hadn't considered the job posts themselves as being AI written! And yes, if so, avoid them!

@@rickboyerdev you welcome, i remember there was a built-in AI in Upwork for clients, when they use it it displayed "job post created with AI" they removed the tag now due to the massive lack of engagement from freelancers I think, I relised that when I started noticing a lor of similarities between various job posts, here's a fresh AI generated post I found right now: We are seeking a talented and creative logo designer who can craft a distinctive brand identity. The ideal candidate will have a strong portfolio showcasing their ability to create innovative and eye-catching logos. You will work closely with our team to understand our brand values and vision, ensuring that the logo reflects our unique identity. If you have a passion for design and a knack for creativity, we want to hear from you!

7 jobs in the last 30 days sounds awesome. Keep up the good work!

good job mate, I'm a logo designer too but this year is particularly tough, I used to get jobs way easier before, they reduced the fees to 10% now but I'm starting to feel like it was a scam cause in the other hand they increased the amout of connects needed for a job to the point where it's surpassing the old 20% fees.

@@levtone Thank you so much! I wish you all the best ❤️

Yes, that's the whole point; you need a ton of connects now. I am doing my best to increase LTV of current clients and effectively spend connects. But by and large situation is worsening every day.

@@greengreen3370 From my perspective, I agree that the connects now are expensive, but it also makes you apply to the only jobs you are sure the client will reach out to you, and it minimise the competition in some jobs ( especially the jobs that require 16 connects ).

Thanks! Appreciate your support.

Thanks for watching! I appreciate that you pointed out the issues with the audio.

My pleasure! I am glad that it inspired you to take action!

Thanks mate. Much appreciated!

Thanks, mate. Appreciate it!

It often happens in life that you need to invest an extra 20% to get the result.

Thanks, Nico. The only way is to lead by example.

Thanks for your support! I got these comments not as an offense but as points that need improvement. I have been working with a public speech tutor and an accent coach for the last three months. Hopefully, the results will be noticeable in the following episodes.

@@levtone you will definitely see improvements 😁

Anytime! Thanks for watching!

Thanks mate. I am working on it!

Thanks! I plan to release 4 videos in September.

@@levtone Levtone I hope you do that, thank you! Also I often look at your X I'm wondering how you live in Ukraine, you gotta shot a vlog or POV videos of how the day in your life looks like my friend, I suggest you to go not only for educational videos but entertainment too because during war for the Ukranian I think it's hard for you to work, I'd love to see more content!

Thanks for asking. The times are hard, and to build a business during wartime is hard. I can't promise a transformation to a vlog-type channel, but I can promise a video or two on this matter. Nothing too heroic; all the heroes are in trenches right now. But still, It could be interesting.

Thanks for watching and for pointing out the room for improvements in audio. I currently use a Shure SM7B mic and Zoom P8 Podtrack as a recorder. I am still trying to figure out why I can't get the best audio from this good equipment, but I will try.

Greetings, Pavlo! Glory to Ukraine!

Thanks, brother! This year is going much better so far. I will make a comprehensive episode at the end of the year.

@@levtone i am waiting for that...

First of all, it's a good start. If you lose many potential clients in the interview phase, it's a signal that you need to improve your communication skills. It's not necessarily the mastery of English but the clear delivery of your ideas. I am reading a lot on this topic and working hard to deliver my ideas straight to the point. Regarding the recent drop in new clients, don't forget that it's summer. Most of us are getting fewer jobs in Summer.

@@levtone Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. I will definitely take your advice into consideration.

Thanks!

It's a weird term "proposal spamming." Because every proposal costs $1-2, so you customize it to maximize your chances of getting the job. From my experience, a 4% conversion rate is pretty good, but you can share yours if you have better results.

@@levtone Eventually I had better results, because, in conversion from $ to Pkr, it's a very huge amount, that's why you are saying that a 4% conversion rate is very good, But honestly my results are way better than this, I'm able to generate 4-5 leads from each 10 proposal and in 1 or 2 got hired. Proposal Spamming is term generated by me, meaning sending one single proposal template to everyone.

Proposal Spamming means sending a similar proposal template to each client. Your results are pretty good, But Honestly, I have generated way better results than this! Probably because $ conversion to Pkr is a huge number for me and my goal is to generate a lead from each proposal!

That sounds astonishing. Please show us some proof of such numbers (link to profile + screenshots). If you don't want to share them publicly, please send them through DM on X.

You can scroll down and see that I started similarly, with no money and experience. What stops you from learning from my lessons and building the name on the platform?

I literally showed every step!

@@levtone i start but no one give me a project 🤔

But you see what I did and it worked out. What stops you to copy my approach?

Wow! 😮

Thanks! Good suggestion. I certainly have some thoughts on promotion strategies, we build them for our clients. But overall I feel that this topic can interest only narrow part of my audience. So, the time should come for this episode.

Today is a great day to make your first intro video!

@@levtone I am working as an Upwork Bidder for a company but I didn't get view on my cover letter could you please guideline me to reach my target. May be within next month they will terminate me

Send me the DM through X.
