@@FreelanceMVP Hi, I really love your contents. I have a Virtual Assistant profile and I'm new to Upwork and I took your advice on sending out at least 10 proposals but I've been unable to get a job still tho sometimes I get a response but I don't get the job eventually. It's tiring and frustrating actually because I keep spending on connects. Please I'd like to know better ways to get jobs as a Virtual Assistant.
Happy new year 2023, I would just like to thank you for the great opportunity you are offering us of winning jobs. I am at upwork there is 2years. But within 2 weeks of watching your video today I got my first client
Hi Evan, I really love your content, I watch each and every video here, and I learn alot, that has helped me get my first client on Upwork immediately after signing up and the client re hired me as well. Thankyou
Upwork is getting difficult even for professionals because of the "Boosted Proposals Game". Every time I get first spot by spending more and more connect, after a few moments someone outbids me and after that proposals don't even get viewed. What's your suggestion Evan? And as always, this video is a genuine advice from the most professional freelancer on Upwork ❤
Hey Muhammad - my advice: don't use Boosted Proposals. Just write better proposals. Clients don't care who's in spot #1 or spot #10 - they typically go through ALL proposals. Start by writing better proposals - check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/SqNyKuoPs1Q/v-deo.html
@@FreelanceMVP My proposal response game really went up, thanks to your techniques and strategies that you showed us. I was getting 6,7 responses out of 10 proposals but now the game has dropped to 1,2 responses out of 10, though I'm using the same strategies of bidding that you told us. Another question Evan, boosted proposals are also applicable to lower spots like 4th, 5th, 6th and so on according to the number of connects that we spend?
6-7 out of 10 is awesome! You might want to try different approaches if you find that one isn't really working that well for some reason. Have you watched through all the rest of the videos on the channel?
@@FreelanceMVP Yes Evan, I have been on this channel when you had 2k subscribers and watch your each and every video. I also follow you on Twitter. Thanks to your advice and strategies I earned $25k+ on Upwork within 2 years. I have been trying different strategies but the proposal response has reduced drastically. I tried sending boosted proposals, updating profiles, and many more things but not getting any real improvement. Your strategies are excellent hopefully I'll see big numbers soon. Do boosted proposals also be implemented on 4th, 5th, and 6th spots?
As a video editor, i see nicely edited video when i watch your content. Kudos to your editor. Meanwhile i couldn't land a single job yet. Sadge. Anyways keep making great content!
Thanks for sharing the most valuable information Sir your these information is very helpful for me And now I'm win the job 7 and earnings on $200 Upwork just 2 month work thanks 🙏
Is it right to make a template for cover letter? I think that every job description needs his own type of cover letter. Whats your opinion on this Evan?
Good question! It's fine to have a template, but CUSTOMIZE CUSTOMIZE CUSTOMIZE for every single proposal you send! Otherwise your proposals will likely fall flat
From my experience, boosting is not a game-changer. If your profile and application are good, Upwork will suggest you as a relevant applicant anyway. However it doesn't hurt to boost too, in case you want some extra visibility. I personally apply to only very few posts during the week, that's why I don't mind spending some extra connects for boosting.
I have watched the whole playlist. It's surely one of the best tutorials I have ever seen or watched. Your videos are surely so much helping. They are like full of great knowledge and tips. I really appreciate your efforts for these video. More power to you and keep it up!
Hi Evan! I'm watching your videos since 6 or 7 months when i joined upwork and i found you on youtube i liked your excellent content, your voice quality and you don't speak any extra words, i have an issue on upwork i am not able to verify my upwork profile because there is not "i'd verification" setting option in my profile settings i went on upwork community section and upwork suppport they said you can't get verify badge you have to get project first then how client will trust on me. 90% profile is complete is it not enough to verify my profile kindly guide me. thanks hope you will response
Hi Evan! long time watcher and very grateful for your tips. I'd really appreciate if you tell me or make a video about how to quote for fixed price projects. and what do you think about freelancers who boost their proposals with 20-30 connects?
Thanks Aishvarya, appreciate you! I might make a video about pricing projects in the future, great suggestion! On boosting, check the video comments, someone else asked about that today :)
Hey Evan, I had a quick question. I'm curious to know what your experience has been this year with UW. As you may have noticed there are many who are reporting that invites have dried out considerably since recent changes rolled out. Are you receiving the same number of invites as before?
Good question Bilal, overall it's a mixed bag. Some I know are reporting significantly lower invites, others are getting significantly more. I think it *might* have to do with Upwork updating some of its systems, especially considering antifraud protections which have apparently been a significant issue this year. From our side, invites look fewer but are DEFINITELY higher quality (vs. the spammy terrible ones). We'll see how things develop!
@@FreelanceMVP Thank you for the response man! It's great to know this. Especially the fact that although invites are fewer, they are better quality. It gives me hope that everything is not going down hill on the platform. Thankfully, I've not had to send out proposals in the past 6 months, as I have a long-term client. But, given my niche and my skillset, I often wonder if I'm being too complacent and have I hit a plateau? Would love to hear your opinions on this topic on one of your videos. How does one determine if they are stuck in a no growth phase, and is that a good thing to be happy where you are with a long-term client, and so forth... Thanks again for all your hard work!
@@FreelanceMVP Evan, there's people using your Pic and commenting as if it were you to scam. And just now, I saw someone also using Freelance MVP nickname too.
I've seen decrease in invites and also overall drop of good quality job posts the last few months. But can't say for sure if it's just me or the platform.
Hi Evan, quick question here please, how do you plug marketing yourself on Upwork into your schedule, do you do it for a few continued hours or multiple times a day? Thank you for the great value you're putting out there!
Do you know how much time can it take to get first client for agency on Upwork? I’ve sent 140 proposals in 3 weeks and no clients. But I have 7 years experience in PPC Google Ads
I have an upwork profile but inactive from a year, its like a new profile no job yet but inactive since a year, should I use this or make a new one because I don't know if this inactive profile will work as normal.
hi, evan, can you give me the idea that you have after we have been successful at upwork, you also know that we also have to have another breakthrough after achieving success on upwork
Hey Evan I am a little bit confused of this app on completing my profile 🙄and is it possible to work for those who are outside of USA means in Africa? 😊
Hi Evan, I started on Upwork since last year and had a pretty decent progress. Considering I do children's book illustrations I was getting great jobs, but starting this year it feels like the jobs have degraded in quality, even after spending time on writing better proposals and on my profile the clients just abandon the job post and there is barely any activity. Also when I got my Top rising Badge I was getting quite a few invites, but suddenly the invites stopped out of nowhere. Can you pinpoint any problem here or what I could do to deal with this?
Hi Evan, Even Though I'm top-rated and constantly provide ing Quality work having JSS 100% over the past 6 months, don't get any invitations. Moreover, I regularly update my profile as well. How can I get Invitations? Can you review my profile?

I'm going live tomorrow for the first time... nervous but excited. It's finally my time to give back.
