Nichesiteseo:
My Client-Magnet Profile and Proposal Template Service

You need a well engineered Profile because you want clients to be hooked, engaged and trust you can get the job done for them when they land on your profile.

You need a value-bomb proposal so you can out compete all the other freelancers bidding for the same job, stand out and win jobs.

You don’t know where to start or how to design a profile and a proposals that will do all these.

Don’t fret.

Mail me at the email in my signature with your number. I will jump on a free call with you and together we will craft a client-attracting profile to build trust and credibility (all you need from your profile- more important since you are from Nigeria) and Proposals that will work like a charm winning you jobs.

The reason the profiles and proposals will work is because they are designed to be focused on the clients problem.

Most of your competition will be busy talking all about themselves in their profile and proposals. Yapping all day long about what the client doesn’t give a f##k about.

Ours will be entirely focused on the client and his/her problems.

Let me show you what I mean?

Job post:

I’m looking for a web designer that will build an ecommerce store for my new company. I don’t know how to code so I need a store that won’t be much work updating later on.

Them:

- I studied computer science in school and have a bachelors degree. I’m passionate about designing websites and this is what I do all day. I won three web design competitions in school and was the best graduating student in computer science.

Please get back to me let me show you my devilish skills with websites. I will do a good job for you I promise. I’m very good and I have five year experience in my field.



That’s how 99.9% of freelancers go about applying to jobs and designing their profiles.

Shame.

Can you see the problems with that proposal?

Now let’s see how we will be different:

Ours:

Hey Peter

I just came across your job post and it seems you need a new website for your ecommerce store that doesn’t need coding experience updating.

I will build you an ecommerce site with woo commerce and Wordpress in such a way that you won’t do any technical work updating the site later on. It will require no coding and as little work as possible uploading your products or making tweaks on the site.

Can I ask a couple of questions to clarify your need:

- How fast do you want this done?
- What’s a job well-done look like to you?
- Are you familiar with Wordpress and woo commerce?

I’m happy to build a sample site for free in any style you want.

If any of that sounds good let’s chat.

Talk to you soon.
Fred.

P.S. I’ll modify my work until you are satisfied.

Can you see the difference.

We are totally focused on the client.

His problem is he can’t code and doesn’t want a site that will require coding experience updating later on. We addressed that and how we are going to solve that problem.

We are also willing to do a sample site for him to keep him at ease giving us the job. Same purpose with the money back guarantee. These are not going to be easy on us. But remember, it’s about them first.

So who do you think will win the job if they were the only two bidding?

Our proposals will emulate the second and the reason it works so beautifully is that 99.9% of the competition don’t do it this way. We will stand out like a sore thumb and win jobs with ease.

This will work as long as you are ready to put in the work. It’s worked for me and many others now living lives on our own terms.

So to recap:

Mail me at the address in my signature with the reason you are mailing me (Profile and proposal design for freelance platforms) and your number.

We get on a call where I learn more about you and your skills and we design the profile and proposal together.

This is not Template. It’s going to be tailor made to you and your situation.

It’s totally FREE. So don’t let not having money hold you back. This is what others will charge 50k+ for. It’s that valuable. A good profile and proposal can net you $1000 per month down the line. Who wouldn’t pay a one time 50k for 350k naira per month?

The only thing I’m going to ask in exchange is that I can use you as case study later on. That’s it.

So hit my mail, guys.

Happy new year.

To our continued success
Fred.

P.S. I will still put up a post on how to do this for yourself too. With templates.

Nichesiteseo:

Guys, sorry for the lack of update. 2019 has started with lots of work already.

I’m thinking of turning this thread into an AMA (Ask me anything).

I don’t really like updating threads I don’t see getting much interest. The motivation is just not there when there’s no feedback loop that people are getting value from what you are posting.

So an AMA will solve this as I will only respond when someone actually ask question.

So drop your questions.

For those of you just getting started please see my mail at my signature and mail me to send you a sample proposal.

My sample proposal

My proposals that got the job done in 2018. After sending loads of proposal on freelance platforms, I started seeing a pattern emerge. What works and what didn’t work.

I doubled down on what was working and eliminated what wasn’t.

The result is a client-magnet proposal template I came up with.

So let me know if you want it and I will send it your way.

Have a fab 2019.

Hemanwel:
please bro,I also need the proposal. Send it to: hemanwel911@gmail.com

Nichesiteseo:
If you only care about yourself playing this game of freelance you won’t go very far!

You must think about the problems you can solve for clients. Everything must be about what you can offer. Not what you want.

Forget about yourself.

Nobody cares about you. Nobody!

I see terrible post like, ‘Hello Fred, is web design a profitable niche? Bla bla bla....’

Shut your mouth you selfish fecker.

People are so stuck up their own bum holes it’s unbelievable.

Look I know it’s tough out here on the streets. But you must understand that you have to treat people like a cat before they hand over you money.

What? Cat? What does that have to do with anything?

Have you owned a cat before?

Those felines are absolute badassasses!

They don’t give two hoots about you.

If you try to chase them or want to cuddle up to them they run away from you.

Needy hooman leave me alone.

If you want a cat to lap up to you just take a bowl of milk and place it on your lap. They will run at you ASAP!

That’s how you have to play this game.

You must be relentlessly focused on providing value for people without needing anything in return.

Hey but if I don’t need anything in return how do they pay me? I have got bills to pay man! I hit this cow on my way home in 2017 with my bashed up Camry and that’s what I have been eating all through 2018! The meat is almost running out fella!

Now here’s the magic and the secret most big ballers don’t want you to know:

Ready:

Wait for it:

It turns out that there’s this magic that happens when you just provide value to people 100% without an inkling of selfishness.

They will throw cash at you! That’s it. It’s a law of nature or something. Look it up.

You don’t believe me:

I’m not one to screenshot emails I receive to show proof. I like respecting people’s privacy. Though one on one I have shown some of you here.

So let me just say this whether you believe it or not, people throw cash at me everyday. Every godamn day.

You won’t believe how much I reject every single day.

I rejected a 300k job today. Like, the job will cost me just 2 hours but maaaaan I’m on vacation and tied up to my neck in work. So I was like nah brav. But I did give them a lot of freebies though (are you seeing a pattern) and guess what? They will be back. I know it.

Guys, trust me this works. Just help people selflessly and solve problems.

Like solve real problems.

Let me give you more deets.

I see people on here promotIng website services every single day. Promote promote promote.

Look, I don’t like knocking people’s hustle but I think I need to grab people by the neck here so they can get the message.

Remember, my last post when I said I have hammered this down over and over...and I don’t get why people don’t get this? Hey tongue twister right there. Say that fast thrice.

A regular web design promotion on here goes:

Hey guys it’s Sweet Chidi here...I design websites, awesome websites (meh - nobody cares). Contact me and let’s give your business that real shine (lmao).

Real shine?

Like, how do you feel when you read those promotions? Do you ever feel like contacting someone like that?

Humans like to buy but nobody likes beeen sold to. Capish!

Those Oshodi boys that will just be holding your hand upandan harassing you once you make the slightest of glance into their store.

Do you like been manhandled by those guys?

That’s what you do when you just care about yourself and it’s all about me me me me me me. People can smell neediness from a mile away.

Ask babes. They get this.

Now how do you follow the value first and only strategy:

I will give you a rundown of how I handle my web design business.

I will build a site for you. You don’t pay. Value first.

I will spend days researching your market and craft copy that will jive with them for free. Value again.

I will then host the site for you. Geez. Value value value.

I will then build an AdWords campaign with my own money and start driving traffic to your site (sometimes I host the site on my own domain and have the contact form lead to my own end).

Nothing from my clients. All for free.

Now when I start getting leads and people filling out the contact form asking about the businesses service or product, I start sending them to the client to close.

Or if it’s the client getting the leads on their own end I check up on them and ask how we are doing with leads.

Once they start getting leads and turning them into sales I ask them to open their wallet and pay me.

Now you see the difference.

No one needs a freaking website. In fact I turn away more than 50% of the people that ask me to build them a site.

Why?:

Because I can’t help them. If I can’t help them why should I build them a site and charge them for no result.

From the get go, I know a website isn’t what they need and a website won’t do much for them. It’s usually the guy that wakes up from a blissful dream one day and gets an inspiration to start selling perfumes all across Nigeria.

No sales strategy in place.

Logistics non existent.

Never done business before.

Perfumes are blehhhhh mehhhh.

I just tell them, go sell to your friends and neighbors first. Come back two weeks from now and we would talk.

They never come back.

So back to my point:

Nobody needs a website. They need sales. That’s what websites are for. To sell. A website is a digital salesman.

That’s the problem business want solved when they come to you with a website.

So the value first approach is to solve this for them. You are the designer. The expert. Your job is to educate them, help them make money. That’s what they need.

But many people don’t see it this way. They see it as what’s my business. Let me just create the site and charge them.

But guess what you haven’t solved any problem. People have started catching up and getting educated. Hey bro, your site did nada for me.

The value first approach is doing things the hard way first so that thing can be easy later on.

Solve a sales problem for a business and get them closIng a sale every month and watch how they will refer the bejesus out of you. They will tell their dog even.

See, this guy built me this site and business has been crazy man. I just called him to shut down the site because I can’t handle it.

What do you think her hairdresser she’s talkIng to will do?

Abeg give me hin number, omalicha. My business have been slow. Let me know if it’s this village people or not.

And then your phone is ringing relentlessly at 4 am. Omalicha gave me your number....

And then you are making moolah....

Same goes for freelancing.

On this platform, the clients are even smarter.

You must go in there with the mentality to solve their problem and provide immense value.

ProvidIng value is hard. Very hard. So you will just outcompete everyone if you do it. Everybody else will be looking for a shortcut while you are providing money back guarantee...result based pricing...free delivery...sending a bottle of champagne after finishing a website...sending them leads...modifying a freelance work until the client is happy...delivering your work like yesterday etc.

Value first. Value first. Value first.

Forget about yourself. Yes, I know it’s hard. I know that cow meat it’s almost gone and your bashed on Camry makes people laugh at you. But trusts me, you will have the last laugh if you put others before you every single timmmmmme!

Hmmm....this is the same message a certain Jesus Christ also preached.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

I'm working on a project for freelancers and creators.

I'm creating a resource for how to build a side hustle, get your first 1-10 sales and grow it.

What will you like to see covered in the resource? I want it to be an ultimate guide to changing your life with a side hustle.

Let me know in the comments.

elmas:


Anything you say boss is welcomed

Sir us it possible to have different skills together on upwork?? Let's say database Administration and writing, isn't that awkward?

Nichesiteseo:


It's okay to have different skills.

But I don't recommend it.

elmas:


It's good to have only one?

What of different accounts and names?

Nichesiteseo:


That's a defo no

elmas:


I don't understand sir

Nichesiteseo:


You shouldn't have multiple accounts. Ever.

Jeanwandimi:
First of all, you can not withdraw any amount less than $100 on upwork. You have to accumulate funds till $100 or above. You can know how much you have by going to "Reports then overview". Your "AVAILABLE" is your money. You have to have $100 in your "AVAILABLE" to receive your money. But you need to complete the following first.
Now to the procedure in details.
For this to work, you need to have put a NIGERIAN address as your address.
Go to "SETTINGS" in your profile, then "GET PAID", then go all the way down to "PAYMENT METHODS" and add method.
The first option you would see there is the one recommended for Nigeria. It will be stated as
"DIRECT TO LOCAL BANK (NGN)
$0.99USD PER WITHDRAWAL" which will be deposited to your local bank account in NGN
Then click on "SET UP"
The next thing you would see is "ADD PAYMENT METHOD: DIRECT TO LOCAL BANK" and your bank information will be required.
You will be required to put in your "BANK SWIFT CODE"
Gtbank's SWIFT CODE IS "GTBINGLA"
This is how GTB arrived at such code.
First 4 characters of the swift code is the bank's code which is "GTBI" for gtbank.
Next 2 letters represent the country's code which is NG for Nigeria.
The last 2 characters is the bank's headquarters' location code which is LA for lagos. GTB headquarters is in lagos. So combining it, you have GTBINGLA.
Other bank users can follow the procedure to do theirs.
Then after you have input your swift code, upwork automatically detects the code and displays the address of GTB's headquarters which is 635 AKIN ADESOLA STREET, VICTORIA ISLAND LAGOS, NIGERIA.
Then below that you will input your account number and all your details.
THATS ALL.
PLS VERIFY THAT YOUR INFO IS CORRECT, IF NOT, YOU WONT BE PAID.
It is that easy. The great thing about this method is that you receive your money within minutes of your money reaching $100 or above depending on the withdrawal amount you set. Some set their money to be automatically sent at $100, some set it at $200, some set it at $500 etc. Mine is set to be withdrawn at $100 top up. Why would I wait for $200 or more
Another cool thing about this method is that you are charged $0.99USD per withdrawal. This is extremely cheap trust me.
There are other options such as PayPal, Payoneer etc, but those options are the previous ways to get money go Nigeria and it is usually way more than $0.99USD for the transaction. I am grateful to upwork for adding this new method. Don't pay anybody to receive money from upwork. It is now easy to get money directly to your account.
If you have further questions after that, let me know or send me a mail.
