So, the holidays are over and I have started sending proposals on three freelance platforms. In just two days I got my first job. And this one is so funny. It’s the perfect example of provide value and money follows. When I complete the job I will tell the story here. Yes - for those of you craving screenshots I will satisfy you on this. There will be screenshots. Why? Because it’s so unreal I need to show proof. 1 Like |

Generalkorex: Hello Korex, I would get the post about writing proposals that get jobs later this week. I got three jobs this week myself. I would put up a sample of the proposals that won me the jobs. In fact one worked so good the client ended the job 10 days before it was to expire just to award me the job. The job post got over 50 bids. I’m currently drowned in work but I would get to it. You can also jump on a quick call with me just mail me at my signature and we will go over your profile and proposals and come up with one that should work better for you getting jobs. Good job taking action and registering on Upwork. Don’t relent. 2 Likes |

Guys provide value. Always solve people’s problem. Forget about making money. Stop being selfish. If you put others first, the money will follow. If you’ve been struggling to make ends meets, living hand to mouth, I can almost always guarantee that it’s because you are not solving people’s problem. This is the most important mindset. It’s not about Upwork or no Upwork. The mindset works on any platform regardless. If you have been struggling to get on Upwork try out other platforms. Just stay true to the mindset. I Have three jobs already. Just started sending out proposals on New year. The aim of this thread is to show you how I will start from scratch and build my accounts back to making 5,000 dollars a month. I have done it before. I deleted that account when I hear people give the excuse of not knowing how to make money online. I want to show people it’s possible if you have the right mindset. It’s not to boast. Now here’s the thing: There’s a big chance that in just a few weeks I could be halfway to achieving that goal already. January isn’t even over yet. There’s a story I said I was going to tell you guys about a job I was awarded. I have provided so much value upfront that the client wants me to start working for his company with a starting salary of $1000 AUD (Australian dollars). Get this: This is a new account on freelancer.com I don’t have any reviews. I haven’t completed any job before now. I’m from one of the most infamous country in the world but yet. Why? Value. So let me tell the story from the top. He is Australian and he programs forex indicators that helps you automate trades with very good signals. He wanted a sales letter to sell the latest version of the indicator. So I placed a bid. My proposal was value loaded and that’s why I got the job. After placing the bid. I quickly fired up google doc and started writing a sample (4,000 words). When it was done I went back and edited my bid and added a link to the sample. I offered a money back guarantee. I told him I was willing to even write another sample for free for him. He wanted a 5,000 word copy (wanted more but didn’t want to over pay for extra). I told him I was going to get him 7,000. The extra 2000 on the house. I told him he had unlimited revisions. That I was going to revise the copy until he was happy. I told him no deposit or milestone was needed. That I was going to do the job and he should only pay me if he liked it. If he didn’t he shouldn’t and that’s fine. I even had a link on my proposal where he could get a template he could use for free without even paying anyone for the job including me. Then I waited. The post had about 10 days to go and then BAAM! I was notified I was awarded the job. Now here’s what he said: He said he was skeptical about my no credibility and lack of reviews but he was willing to go ahead and give me the job. He said it was a no brainer. He said immediately he saw my proposal he just stopped reading other proposals and gave it to me. Why?: Value. Now here’s the weird part: His budget was $30. He said fxxk that. He doubled it and created a milestone immediately. On his own. On his own. He went to $60 dollars. I’m not even finished. We talked a bit about forex. I trade too. And the next thing he gave me a free license to his indicator worth $279. Added me to his forum. Why?: I wasn’t thinking about myself. I was asking myself every step of the way: ‘How can I help this guy sell his forex indicator on click bank with Copy that’s so enchnating’ What does he want exactly? What are his fears about getting the wrong freelancer? I don’t like writing. I wrote a huge sample for free and gave it out. I gave him a free template I know he could just take and close the job post immediately and do it himself. But I wasn’t bothered. I wasn’t expecting anything in return. I know if I provide enough value the universe will pay me back. And it did! That’s the lesson here. Stop trying to make money. It’s very hard hustling money at every opportunity. Money is like a cat. It eludes you if you are too desperate. It comes to you when you provide value and think of others first. Here’s some screenies: 23 Likes 3 Shares

One more thing. It’s not about the $60. I would have taken the job even if it was $5. I’m trying to build my credibility with reviews and jobs completed so I’m going for the low dollar value jobs. If I this wasn’t a new account, this is something I can charge $2000 for easily. Why?: Because my copy will make him $10,000 dollars in a single campaign. What I tell folks is that, don’t jump to the high dolar jobs when starting out. You don’t have the credibility yet. So go for low dollar amounts where you don’t need people to trust you that much to award you the job. If you develop mobile apps don’t start applying for mobile app development gigs. They are usually high dollar value. Nobody is going to give you $5000 dollars to develop an app when you have no reviews or completed jobs and your profile is spanking new. So ask yourself: What related jobs can I do that are no so high dollar value. Maybe mockups. Maybe app logo design. If you have any question or want to talk to me please mail me at my signature. For all those that have reached out thank you. Let’s help each other achieve our dreams and goals this year. Shalom. P.S. I’m a bit drowned in work so please bear with me if I don’t post as frequent later on or reply your mail on time or get on a call with you. I’m trying to juggle it all better this year. 20 Likes 2 Shares |

How To Write Proposals That Attract Clients, Win You Jobs And Make You Money Even If You’re A Beginner Tired of writing proposals and not getting the job? Don’t fret. I’m about to show you how to crush your competitors and win jobs by writing proposals that make you stand out like a sore thumb. Ready: You need three key elements to writing a super proposals that win you jobs and gain you financial independence. 1) Write your proposals to focus on the client’s problem and talks about them. 2) Prove within your proposal that you can actually help them and care about solving their problems. 3) Value stack your proposal So let’s break them down. Writing a proposal to focus on the other person Here’s how 99% Of applicants start their proposal: -‘Hello, this is actually a simple proposal and I can do this easily. This is my area of expertise...’ - ‘Hello. I’m a graphic designer from Nigeria...’ - ‘Dear Fernando. I’m an App developer...’ - ‘Hello. I’m very interested in your project. I’m also interested to know more details...’ Just look at all those selfish people. Talking about themselves like anyone cares. This is how almost everyone writes. I’m sure you included. But luckily for you, I’m about to change that for you. I want you to stop being ME ME ME ME focused. Clients don’t hire ME focused people because they know they’re not their to help. They are there to make money. You see what I always do here? Writing all these guides and not expecting anything in return? How I jump on calls all they long using my airtime and speaking for more than 30 minutes to people that reach out and not once asking for money? That’s the same mindset you need to adopt. Apply for proposals not expecting anything in return and instead just focusing on solving the other person’s problem. Proving You Can Actually Hep Please, don’t apply for jobs you know you can’t deliver on. Please. Writing a client-attracting proposal means you must only apply to gigs you can help out with. So, if you have no skill, please go get one and be competent at it. You necessarily don’t have to be world class or good at it even. Just competent. Here’s how to get started writing magnet proposals: - Show attention to detail by addressing them by their first name. - Talk about their needs in your first sentence - Only talk about your experience education if it directly proves you can get the job done. - Tell stories about similar projects you’ve worked on in the past and how it turned out. - Invite the client to chat with you within the platform or get on a call with you. - Upload relevant samples to show what you can do. Create one if you don’t have. - offer a money back guarantee/the client not paying you until you get the job done and they like it. This shows them you are serious about quality work. - PROOF READ YOUR PROPOSAL AND SPELLCHECK!!! Now here’s an example and a template you can use. Please don’t copy word for word. Use your common sense and tweak to your own situation. This is very important: Don’t be religious about the proposal please!!! It’s the mindset that’s important not the actual templates. Get the why not the how. Once you can do this you will even be able to write far better proposal than the template. Understood? Ok so here we go: Job Post: Hello, I’m looking for a native English speaker that can write a 2000 word article that is SEO optimized. The article needs to be top notch with American expressions. To be considered for this Job please write ‘chickens rock’ at the top of your proposals to show you paid attention. Please, attach samples of your work. Thank you! Beth Assange ME Focused proposal: Hi. I really like this. I have been writing SEO articles now for 5 years and I have worked on lots of projects within that period. I have a bachelors degree in Marketing and I studied at a top university in my country. I think if you look at my profile you can see how good I am. Please consider me for this job thank you. Mary Oponu Now let’s smoke Oponu to pieces with our Client-attracting proposal. Client-attracting Proposal: Chicken rocks! Hello Beth. I’m Alfred and I can write a 2000-word article that is SEO optimized. I’m a native English Speaker and I can also write your articles with American expressions for your American audience. It will be high quality, top notch and won’t take time to finish up. I have just written a sample for free for you and you can find it attached to this proposal. I’m willing to write another for free. I offer a 100% money back guarantee, unlimited revisions. Heck, you don’t even have to deposit anything upfront until I deliver an article you are happy with. I got my start in digital marketing with SEO copywriting. You can check out my site with more samples of my work. I will have the first draft of the article back to you within 2 hours. And if you want I can add an extra 500-1000 words for you. If you think we would be a good fit please let’s chat. Fred. Can you see the difference. Remember it’s not about the template. It’s about the concept behind it. You can see how we mention the clients need. Proved we can get this done by attaching a sample. And value stacked! What’s Value Stack? Value stack is when you add benefits upon benefits upon benefits that 99.9% of people won’t have on their proposal. Value stacks in the template: - We attached a free sample - We are offering to write another one for free - 100% money back guarantee - No upfront deposit - Linked to our site where more samples can be found - Delivery in 2 hours - Extra 500-1000 words at no cost Now tell me how someone else can beat that? Value stack are not easy to deliver but that’s how you beat the competitors. That’s how you provide value. That’s how you care about the other person first. That’s how you add value. Note: Please value stack only on what it’s important to the client. So you must have an understanding of the needs in that niche. And you must deliver please. This can backfire if you can’t. Don’t promise anything you can’t do. An example of a bad value stack in our example will be: I will add a logo to your article. That’s totally irrelevant here and I don’t know what use that will be to the client. 28 Likes 6 Shares |

Please guys/gals: Write a fictional job post and your client-attracting proposals to the fictional job using the concepts in the last post. I want to know you get it. I will review your proposals and give it a mark over 10, make corrections and give you tips on how to improve it. Please, let your proposals be as far away from the template as possible. Use the concepts not the template, please. If you use the templates, you will all end up copying each other on these platforms. That will make no one unique. You dig?! So let’s see your proposals.

bojbest: Hello Bojbest, 7/10. Good job. Corrections: Don’t start with your name. He can see your name from your bid. Not relevant. You must start the first sentence and paragraph with the client’s needs. I like how you delve into his needs down the proposal and the value stack you introduced. A bit too lengthy too. Just go with the major talking points: - His/her needs - Why you are qualified to help solve those needs - Previous completed related job/ sample - Value stack(s) - Call to action Don’t forget to put in a clear call to action at the end of your proposal. A call to action is closing the sale. Telling the client what he should do next if he thinks you are a good match. A simple call to action sample: If you think we are a good match let’s chat. Good job all around. Don’t beat yourself up on him ghosting. That he got back to you means your proposal struck a chord. Keep your proposals this way and you would land a client sooner than later. 13 Likes 6 Shares |
