Upwork Mastermind
What most freelancers do
templated proposals
low effort
don't answer screening Qs
hard to read
no value
complicate the hiring process
make it hard for clients to work with them
weak words that break trust/confidence
sample tips
attach PDFs instead of docs
url links are not "active" in the screening Qs box
upwork adds an extra step to external links "you are leaving upwork"
brand your samples!
should be highly relevant to the job post
2-3 samples only don't post 10s or just 1
Client mindset
they want a solution to that problem
they have a problem
they want the easiest, fastest and best solution
price is often irrelevant or secondary
other metrics
job success score
if you're in a different country to your client
no ratings
big amount
