    Hi there! I'm just scrolling my UA-cam then i saw your channel. Im so absolutely admire how you deliver the topic about making upwork proposal. I am here because i want to learn more and im very eager to dig more in order to absorb every word what you say. I maybe a newbie but i am willing to understand and make a move to do my task if im given a chance to work at upwork. My only background is youtube university it may sound questioning but that is it.
    P.s.
    Hoping someone can proofread my grammar and i will be happy to hear my mistakes.
    😊thanks

    If we all use the same template, I think this is going to be a problem. Remember this is a numbers game. You may write 50 proposals before you land your first gig, and the more reviews you have the better your chances get. If English isn't your first language then you have a slight disadvantage, however, don't let that imtimitade you, this ia bastadized language that did not exist 1000 years. If your home country is one of those places that is always in the news for the wrong reason, don't worry about that, as there is nothing you can do to change that situation. Just remember that we have certain countries that are completely banned from Upwork due to sanctions. Anyways, I have learnt over the years, not to worry about things that you have no control over, and always give it your best. Watch out for scammers, as I have encountered alot of scam jobs on upwork lately, that target new freelancers. Anyways folks all the best.

      You sound very inspiring, upbeat and positive. It’s obvious all of the road blocks you mentioned. However, I believe in God if it’s meant to be it will if not oh well. There’s other freelance avenues but to discourage people because you find that as a treat is not a strategy. I’ll give it a good try and if God wills it there’s nobody going to stop me…👎👎👎👎

      English has existed 2ince around 400 AD. To help you with the math, thats 1600 years. So I guess you're right. It did not "exist 1000 years". And that "bastadized" language is beautiful because it has faced challenges, near extinction, has borrowed and annexed, and then took over the world as the dominant language. I gotta stand up for English. No one shits on it for free on my watch.

      @MyNameIsDeya  2 роки тому

      Hey! I did a quick search and a you-focused proposal seems really in line with what we're discussing in this video in terms of focusing on the client & what they're after. :)
      Or did you feel like anything was missing from this video?

    • @PHPTechLife
      @PHPTechLife 2 роки тому +3

      @@MyNameIsDeya I think the essence of our proposal should be, how we can help our clients to achieve their business goals. It doesn't matter how many degrees and experience we have because clients don't care. We are a stranger to them and if we do not address their unique needs they will jump to the next proposal. The only thing which matters is how you can help the client.
      Here are key points I think, we should consider while writing a proposal.
      1) Did I read the job post properly?
      2) Is this job relevant to me? Is this job perfectly match my Upwork profile?
      3) In the first sentence, what should I write? so I could grab the client's attention instantly?
      4) Do I have the relevant samples to show the client?
      5) Never start your proposal with the I word because you have to be unique and most people start their proposal with the I word.
      When you address the client's unique requirements and craft the proposal accordingly then he/she will surely feel that you are a competent person and will give the confidence to hire you. I think that should be enough for writing a great proposal.

    To write "my name..." is a useless thing. Your name is already written by Upwork.

    @jaybrown4444 8 місяців тому

    This proposal sounds good but it's too long. No client is going to read all of this when they have 50 other proposals as well. Also, it's not a good idea for everyone to copy the same template. That would be ridiculous and Upwork will slowly look into things and penalize those who have the same proposal template. I've seen it happen to friends on the site. This is a bad idea guys! There is no one-size-fits-all template. It's a numbers game and clients usually work with freelancers that have the skills they're looking for and have short and precise proposals, with a resume, portfolio, and sometimes references.
