No he did not.
I'd be more excited about the proposal if he
1.Gave the client great suggestions for the book's title something along the lines of - THE CONCIOUS PARENT!(The classic guideto helping children develop self discipline and problem-solving skills)
2.Gave an idea - for example....

I have a great idea that fits perfectly with your project..

We'd have to write this coming from the perspective of a certified parent-child psychologist, so readers can feel connected and feel the thrill.

3. Asked her the target audience for the book - Americans? Europeans?or the general public as a whole.

This is interesting. I'd need to think more about this.

Do Premium proposals work? I had the chance of seeing the other side, and it's only the first lines they can see from your proposal .

Yea, it works. I guess that is why the first few lines should be catchy.

Anyway, lot goes into selecting a candidate. This includes some level of bias and luck. cheesy

Greetings all,
Please anybody with an idea of how to go about a suspended account?

Recently, my account was restricted and was asked to verify identity. After much trying, I was able to verify it using the digital NIN card. Immediately, after verifying, I saw the notification of account suspended and was asked to reach out to support center.
I reached out to the support center and was told that my issue would be forwarded to the team that should handle such issue but till now no show.

@pocohantas @qtguru @officialDj

IMO, there's no niche that's saturated. You just have to learn positioning.

If you're looking for a niche, it should be, ideally, something that already has a foundation in one of your core skill sets.

I could learn programming and data analysis. But I always had an insatiable thirst for reading and I wrote my first novel before I graduated from secondary school.

So niches like content writing, copywriting and ghostwriting come naturally to me.

If you're already familiar with VA, then go for it.

You should instead, focus on selling yourself properly in your proposals when you apply for jobs.

That said, you can still learn any skill you want and get paid for it.

If you want an idea of what might be valuable for you, spend a few hours going through your job feed and observe the common types of jobs being posted.

That would give you an idea of what's in demand.

And for the record, working from home gets tedious too.

For the first six months or even longer, you may be putting in more than that 7 - 7 you've been working as a corporate employee.

But the more money you make, the better the compensation is, and then you can create systems, automate a few stuff, and hire people to take some of the load off.

Good luck!

Please House,

I went back to my upwork account after roughly 2 yrs, made some profile improvements and started submitting proposals.

I have submitted more than 20 proposals to jobs I am � qualified for but haven't even landed a simple interview.

Please am I doing anything wrong? I am yet to make a first sale on upwork. Do I need to buy a review before I start getting noticed?

Please someone should help. It is getting very frustrating.

Share screenshots of your last three proposals and the jobs you applied for.

That should better help with what you need to change.

Share the link to your profile too.

Hello guys. I have an opportunity to bring a very experienced WordPress developer onboard a platform I am part of.

I know this thread is about Upwork, and I won't want to derail it. But as I see there are a lot of developers here, I thought I should share.

If you are confident, please find more details about the opportunity on this other thread.
