𝟑 𝐀𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐔𝐩𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬
I heard that a lot of freelancers even agencies on Upwork are struggling to get hired and find new opportunities but I noticed only three elements that are the main hurdles to their success.
According to my experience with Upwork and by going through the whole Upwork Academy Course of 9 catalogs, I noticed that these elements impact more on your Upwork success in landing projects:
1- Profile Quality
2- Cover Letter
3- Ontime Response and Communication Skills
Let me simplify these elements:
1️⃣ Profile Quality:
Most freelancers don't know that the main elements that clients notice while scrolling through proposals for their projects are your tagline, profile picture, Upwork badge, keywords, price, and JSS.
Remember that you're not alone but there are a lot of industry experts around the world who are also willing to win the same project.
Besides these, you've to use every aspect of your profile wisely from the description, intro video, price, certifications, and employment history to the portfolio section, especially the project catalog.
Remember this: When you submit a proposal from a specialized profile, the client will see the tagline of that profile, not the general profile.
(Pro tip: Use specialized profiles that give you a badge of "Best Match" if you have the same skill category in which the client has posted the job)
2️⃣ Cover Letter | Proposal Writing:
Did you know that when clients are scrolling through all proposals for their job, they only see the starting lines of your job?
Starting 230 characters of your proposal are most important and by utilizing these words you've to stand out and showcase that you understand the entire job and have best solution for the client's business.
After 230 characters when a client opens your proposal, then your copywriting skills, effective approach, and project samples matter.
(Pro tip: Make sure to use CTA at the end of your proposal to create a loop so the client can get interested in talking more)
3️⃣ Ontime Response and Communication Skills:
You've crafted the best profile, customized your proposal, and submitted applications for various best jobs, it's time to wait for clients' responses.
(Pro tip: Try to be online as much as you can which will help you to rank in Upworks Algorithms)
Got a Response 😊 Wow!
Try to provide instant response ASAP which shows your availability and keep improving your communication skills by watching videos on YouTube, going through courses, and attending events.
If you've covered all of these, so congrats you're near to being hired by top/enterprise clients and your chances are increased by 50-70% guaranteed 📈
If you need any kind of assistance regarding any Upwork-related topic, feel FREE to drop a 💬 message and I'd be glad to add value to your business.
Thank You and Best Wishes for your Business 💝
