+Fizza Iftikhar Kudos for the Video clip! Excuse me for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Chireetler Earning Maker Rule (just google it)? It is a smashing one off product for getting paid to write at home without the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my work buddy at last got amazing success with it.
Fab video, thanks. I love the way you prioritise the importance of getting paid what you want, many designers are kind of forced to bid low because we think we don't deserve to be paid higher.
Could you show a proposal that you gave or create a full proposal to show us as an example. And also show your profile, it will really help to know where to go and to start.
I do have good experience through upwork jobs since a while ago but I can tell this is a great video to share ,very helpful and easy to understand . Thank you for helping a lot of people around the world with your videos. God bless you!
hey! I didn't think much of this video but I implemented exactly what you said to do. I gave the client plenty of examples and really concentrated on how I can help him and get him the result he wanted. I got a response! 100% success rate so far! He seems interested in what I have to offer and I'm confident I can close him! I'll update if this changes but you can be safe to assume I just closed my first client :) it's a fixed $100 contract job!! Thanks John! (I'm a complete noob on Upwork)
John im not into coding at all but Ive found your course to be insanely helpful even though Im only a few parts in. The research section alone blew my mind just now as i have multiple skills (Video editing, writing, social media ect). Upon following your advice I just started researching and its shocking the difference between social media/marketing (what i will be studying soon) vs a skill i have (video editing). Saw examples of guys doing marketing who made over 500k on upwork [insert mind blown emoji]... The research step alone is an eye opener. Cant wait to get on with the rest of the course!
From the template you've shown us in this video, what's your response rate in relation to how many proposals you send per day. For example, if you're sending 20 proposals per day, how many responses are you getting?
I got a project after watching this video ...... But i have problem...... my job is under process. i am doing. but now i could not submit more proposals is it upwork condition or any thing else ..?
I build ecommerce sites so in the process of creating a few and even adding them into functionality outside of the system like for use on ebay and amazon, it's a whole lot of fun working these things out. I am very good at getting down to the fundamentals of how something works lol.
Thank you very much for this Free Content. This is really helpful for new guys like me, I know you are going to sell some good stuff at the end. I hope I can afford it.
Hey John :) Your vid is great. In the essence I might say : to win jobs you must make some rumour and do not think you will be discovered. A freelancer is a self marketing businessman so it should market huimself by every means possible - as you do here for example on youtube. Cheers!
Hi John, Can you make a video about agency profiles and how to write agency proposals? I see many job postings with "No Agencies" title and want to understand why agencies are avoided by clients and how to succeed if you have an agency
Amazing tips for creating good proposals. I was a client one time and I saw that a lot of freelancers couldn't write a proposal that caught me. Have you ever tried additional tools for searching jobs on Upwork? Like Periodix or something else for Google Chrome extantions?
Thanks for the video John, very informative and helpful. Out of curiosity, do you have any rough stats on how effective this approach has been compared to how you did it before using this approach? I'd be interested to see how this approach alone has helped improve your success.
+Brent Harris That IS hard to do because, as you might imagine, several different things were all coming together at once as I went through this. Roughly though, I started out charging $25/hour (which was still a ton for me) to $90 by the time I left Elance/Upwork. No idea on conversion rate number-wise... but I know the "feel" for me was pretty dramatic. Seemed like I couldn't win any job at first... and by the time I left I kept having to turn my availability off because I was getting invited to so many jobs and Elance/Upwork actually punished a bit for turning down a certain percentage of jobs. Take all that for what it's worth to you. I know it's not really hard numbers but maybe some idea.
I learnt a lot from this video but i have a question. As a newbie who has never written before and actually a self taught on how to use a computer, How do i get to know the right kind of jobs for me? I know i can write but getting that job is proving difficult i should say.
John you do a good job with these videos. Thank you for them. Question though... do you declare yourself as a 'company' when things pick up as a freelancer?
Very helpful video, just one question that do we have to mention the headings of credibility, demonstrate reliability and sell value in the proposal or we just have to write the proposal keeping these points in our mind?
So Thankful for your help and information on company letterhead and the 🎁 knowledge of this week I will be in touch with you and your help with this matter is greatly appreciated Thanks again for your help.
By starting sentences with things like: "In your project description you said..." or "I see from the project description, you want..." And then pointing out things they said. Or asking relevant questions about what they posted. That kind of thing.
These are very good tips however I don't have any reviews starting out and I feel that this stops me getting hired. I have set up my profile and portfolio but doesn't seem to help. What do you suggest?
Which of the following describes the job success score? (a) the average of your client satisfaction score across all projects. (b) A comprehensive, single measure of your work and reputation on upwork. If anyone knows about this plz give me an answer. Thank You
Hi, John Morris I have been trying to get started as a web developer since I started school 3 years ago. But, it seems that I can get no response when it comes to the freelance sites. Thank you so much for this.
Thanks John for the tips, I've been on Upwork for months submitting tons of proposal but still get no single response. I'm going to try yours suggestion.
I've heard that its effective to work for free (or really REALLY cheap) at first. Is that an easy way to get good ratings this way you get hit up for jobs on upwork/freelancer?
Thanks for this stuff, a really great help. Anyway, can I ask a favor? can you make a tutorial or a video explaining the billing cycle of upwork? i dont get it thoroughly and my client hasnt paid me yet. Im worried about this and he isnt replying to my messages.
Hey John, How many videos have you made on Upwork or other Freelancing tips? I have searched, I can find only one - the very next one after this. There's no playlist - please send me links. Thanks, sTdwares
You said that never underbid but always overbid for any project, but how could I'll be able to do it if my upwork profile is showing 0 hrs of work experience ? I mean why would a client like to hire the one with nil experiences and higher bids ?
Hi. So just to start with I do SEO on page in elance/upwork and pph.com. I started from ground and builtup and I was and am fortunate to work with the same client for almost 3 years already! You can see my profile in Upwork- no secrets! How did I? Well no special things, just spoke directly without false pride, not humble but with respect. And I also block any client that asks for outside upwork payments or stuff. I do not kiss at first date. So as long as a client wants to build trust I need to trust client too. Now passing to your question... somebody with no work hours in upwork. Well, you are not a newborn so you shoudl have some work done before getting into upwork. And some self advertising too. Every freelancing branch, be it web design, writing, seo, ppc, whatever you want, if is freelancer it means the person should market herself and not stay and wait that jobs rain from the sky. Be active, be present in social, dedicated communities, there are even people sending work proposals to clients directly... just don't stay and wait to be discovered.
Hi John, Thanks for your videos i just discovered your channel and i would love if you have some video about how to get a client for the Graphic design projects, im a designer thanks
I have a question, what if you have WordPress experience, but you have a company and promote website development. You want to be able to hire website developers for potential customers. Would I add a profile as an employer too?
Hello John. Wonderful and very informative video. My problem with starting to work on Upwork is that at the moment I don't have a bank account. So let's say I finish a project and everything is set for me to receive my payment, is that payment stored on my Upwork account and then when I've created my bank account I can link it to Upwork and withdraw the money, or I have to have a bank account from the get go ?
I personally don't think you should batch send proposals and hope for the best. Curate and accurately pick your client projects to ensure higher success. Less is more actually. I only go after Expert projects. I also sometimes include Intermediate. I landed two long term high paying clients from the intermediate section.
This is a good concept, but it still won't work if you're new to Upwork and if you're not an American (in most cases). I've signed up to Upwork to do some CAD design. I have a mechanical engineering background, I can read technical drawings better than I can read letters, I do CAD in my spare time. So, I have no Upwork feedback, so what do I do? I go out and try to find some entry jobs (I've even opted to do some pro bono, for some really easy stuff i could have done in literally minutes). No invites. Ok, I have no portfolio there, so I start looking for people who put a small reference image in the job description, or some basic details. I've actually gone and MADE rough CAD models before sending a proposal, I render the image in SolidWorks and send it to the client. My cover letter usually consists of me explaining what I can do for them, how I could do it and what I would focus on. I include my rendered image along with something in the line of "I have no portfolio here, but I've done a rough model, feel free to look at it and contact me with more information...", something like that. Not one interview, message, invite, nothing. And you would think my models are bad or something, but from the point I send my proposal I only need to put in the client's dimensions into the model. It's all done, it could be a 10 minutes work or a 3 hours work, I would have it done 1-30 minutes after I get the job. But still nothing. So yeah, if you want the job, you'll have to have some blind luck at the beginning, I don't see how that might work any differently. And in most cases, be an American.
hello there man i am studying and have not had experience in freelancing. In the future I want to be a book illustrator and I want to use up work to get my clients. As I am studying I have heard that when doing freelance jobs dont always come immediately after you finish one job, the next job cud cloud come to you in the next month. O know that it will take time to build building yourself as a brand to get clients to call you and work for them but can you talk the realities of just starting out and how often will you keep getting the next job. (anyone in the chat that is looking at this and wants to give there advice or opinion is also welcomed)
Hey guys I have a question.. Do you pay attention to the ammount of proposals the job offer has? I always try to send a proposal when it says it has 5 proposals or less, but lately I've been thinking whether this really matters and If it is really beneficial or not for me.. Thanks for the attention
I never did. Most of the good jobs are gonna have lots of proposals, so you're cutting yourself off from a lot of good projects. And, I also assumed most of the proposals probably weren't that great, so even if it had 30+ proposals, 2/3 might not be that great.
If I have a single name in this situation how can I make a single name in upwork? Or how to create a single name without a last name? Please help me.......
what if you are just starting on upwork and i specialize on video editing and i have done a lot of them but i haven't done any work at the site do i still stick with high value or low bid?
Thanks John. Would you recommend putting samples on heroku or just building a portfolio inside their profile interface? My expertise is in photoshop and illustrator btw.
Their profile interface. You can put yourself elsewhere and link back to your Upwork profile... if there are other portfolio sites you want to use. But, for Upwork, you should use their interface. My sense of their system is they analyze every piece of data you give them... including portfolio descriptions, etc. So, try to stack it all in your favor.
Sir , I have created my profile but still it is not approved. And my client friends want to hire me in upwork. I want to ask that when they hire me then can i able to submit proposals to other clients or not. Please help me.
I have been studying responsive web design basically html and css. Now, I am studying javascript. But, how do I find work on the freelance sites to fit me. Everytime I search I usually find over the top jobs only
How to write a proposal on upwork
1. research
what to look for
2. framework to work on
write a proposal
3. place the proposal, get paid
1:23 Example
2:40 How to write a good bid on upwork?
2:42 #1 Research
2:50 first look at the questions from the client
3:50 Credibility & trust
5:00 then look at the description to figure out how to proceed
5:53 click Submit a Proposal
6:32 write a letter emphasizing: credibility, reliability, value
6:45 #a establish credibility
8:37 pick up the right project
9:42 #b demonstrate reliability
10:00 demonstrate attention to details = read the proposal
11:15 #c sell value
12:15 #d instill fear
14:56 #e price the proposal: check the market (for 1 hour PHP developpement, e.g. 60 $), estimate a duration (20 hours),
16:56 double the result to have more time, maybe give money back: everybody is happy
17:39 nobody is happy with you underbid and it takes longer
18:12 estimate what the client will be willing to pay
20:26 is this worth it to me?

This is a great thing that any freelancer could have it in mind ,to caught client`s attention is important,the video is educating.

+Mayank Jain no problem! :)
Thank you! I made an account over a year ago, but was so confused I gave up. Giving it another go now that I have some real information!
You are not alone sometimes online jobs are a pain in the you know what I have given up a couple of times
From the template you've shown us in this video, what's your response rate in relation to how many proposals you send per day.
For example, if you're sending 20 proposals per day, how many responses are you getting?
I got a project after watching this video ...... But i have problem......
my job is under process. i am doing.
but now i could not submit more proposals is it upwork condition or any thing else ..?
20 proposals a day will surely get you banned.
@@TheRafark
No, it doesn't. Many times I have sent more than that. Upwork is making money off the proposals. Why would they ban you?
I build ecommerce sites so in the process of creating a few and even adding them into functionality outside of the system like for use on ebay and amazon, it's a whole lot of fun working these things out. I am very good at getting down to the fundamentals of how something works lol.

Very Good Tutorial.Thanks

Very helpful video!! I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THE VIDEO ABOUT SEARCHING JOBS AND FILTERING SEARCHS ON UPWORK. When wil you record it?? Best regards!
Right here: www.johnmorrisonline.com/bridges/freelancemasterclass/
how do i connect my social media accounts to Upwork?
Thanks for saving me time!... Found your presentation before writing my first proposal; so glad I did.
Thanks man, I followed you and it worked !
Definitely going to try this proposal
Amazing tips for creating good proposals. I was a client one time and I saw that a lot of freelancers couldn't write a proposal that caught me. Have you ever tried additional tools for searching jobs on Upwork? Like Periodix or something else for Google Chrome extantions?
Thanks. I haven't. I just used their search filters.

Thanks John, this was super helpful.

Do you think it matters how you word a proposal? Should it be straight out and to the point in normal english or should you be very formal?
Thanks so much for the info!!
No problem!
Thank you for this detailed research you did for us. Timesaver man.
Hi john, keep up the good work.
Will do. Thanks!
May i know what is the current project you are working on? And your aspirations for the future.

Upwork was formerly odesk not elance. Elance is a different freelancer site. Just wanted to let you know.
+Andrew Armstrong it was formerly both.
Great Guide! How do you actually demonstrate that you read the posting?
By starting sentences with things like: "In your project description you said..." or "I see from the project description, you want..." And then pointing out things they said. Or asking relevant questions about what they posted. That kind of thing.
@@john.morris Awesome! That helped a lot! Just subscribed :D

How do you link your Upwork portfolio??
Please help!!!
Thanks
Hello John. Wonderful and very informative video. My problem with starting to work on Upwork is that at the moment I don't have a bank account. So let's say I finish a project and everything is set for me to receive my payment, is that payment stored on my Upwork account and then when I've created my bank account I can link it to Upwork and withdraw the money, or I have to have a bank account from the get go ?
I believe you can link after the fact. Not 100% sure though. I'd check with them.
I personally don't think you should batch send proposals and hope for the best. Curate and accurately pick your client projects to ensure higher success. Less is more actually. I only go after Expert projects. I also sometimes include Intermediate. I landed two long term high paying clients from the intermediate section.

As I am studying I have heard that when doing freelance jobs dont always come immediately after you finish one job, the next job cud cloud come to you in the next month. O know that it will take time to build building yourself as a brand to get clients to call you and work for them but can you talk the realities of just starting out and how often will you keep getting the next job. (anyone in the chat that is looking at this and wants to give there advice or opinion is also welcomed)
Hi, Can you please give me link to freelance masterclass.
www.johnmorrisonline.com/go?id=masterclass
Is the masterclass only for developers or can any freelancer use it to create a system that helps them become top dog in their niche?
The principles and strategies are for everyone. Often, the examples used to illustrate those principles and strategies are developer-based ones.
Thank you
Hey guys I have a question.. Do you pay attention to the ammount of proposals the job offer has? I always try to send a proposal when it says it has 5 proposals or less, but lately I've been thinking whether this really matters and If it is really beneficial or not for me.. Thanks for the attention
I never did. Most of the good jobs are gonna have lots of proposals, so you're cutting yourself off from a lot of good projects. And, I also assumed most of the proposals probably weren't that great, so even if it had 30+ proposals, 2/3 might not be that great.
@@john.morris thanks a lot man
I'm in cannot submit proposal. What can I do?
If I have a single name in this situation how can I make a single name in upwork? Or how to create a single name without a last name? Please help me.......
what if you are just starting on upwork and i specialize on video editing and i have done a lot of them but i haven't done any work at the site do i still stick with high value or low bid?
Does upwork allow you to link to your website? I know Freelancer does not.
No. Against their TOS.
Thanks John. Would you recommend putting samples on heroku or just building a portfolio inside their profile interface? My expertise is in photoshop and illustrator btw.
Their profile interface. You can put yourself elsewhere and link back to your Upwork profile... if there are other portfolio sites you want to use. But, for Upwork, you should use their interface. My sense of their system is they analyze every piece of data you give them... including portfolio descriptions, etc. So, try to stack it all in your favor.
Sir , I have created my profile but still it is not approved. And my client friends want to hire me in upwork. I want to ask that when they hire me then can i able to submit proposals to other clients or not.
Please help me.
