How I Got Interviewed For A Job On Upwork by Jaycobbs(m): 9:45am On Jan 13, 2022
I was scrolling through my Upwork feed.

I saw a job post for proofreaders and editors.

I wrote a proposal and forgot about it.

This is the proposal I wrote:



Some days later, the client responds with an invitation for the interview.

From Upwork, we moved on to Skype.

I got to answer a questionnaire that contained 14 questions.

Then they asked even more questions after I submitted the questionnaire.

This is how it ended.



Easy peasy. All very easy to do.

You only need to know what you're about and stand out as the best.

Cheers!

Lol. If you submit enough proposals on Upwork, you develop a system for hitting the main points quickly in your proposal. I have submitted over 200 proposals on Upwork, so I have picked up some things along the way. I also don't apply for jobs that have more than 10 proposals already. You can also pick up a few copywriting books to learn how to phrase your proposals in the best way.

Even if I were a fake employer, I would still give a response to your application. Your words are very compelling and I have picked one or two from it.

Thanks for sharing your success story, it is a motivation for me.

Hypnotic Writing by Joe Vitale.

The book is probably overkill for just writing proposals and is a bit long, but if you master the principles there, you'll be able to craft compelling proposals.

A good way to improve your copy is to rewrite good ones you find. I rewrote a lot of the copies I saw in this book, until I started to get the concept behind convincing someone using words on paper.

I was surprised that you even sent a screenshot of your beautiful responses here.

Kudos man!

Most won't show us their winning proposal.

I should have opened an Upwork account 3years ago, but every time someone talks about it, they say it's difficult to get job there, especially as a Nigerian using a Nigerian profile.

This discouraged me a lot from opening one.

But even till now, I'm seeing that same, discouraging line of "Upwork is saturated, no jobs" ahhh� and people are cashing out from there

Woh, wohefa, lemme open an account today and join the hustle.

Hopefully I'll see someone to hire me for a content writing, proofreading/editing, graphics design, social media management or virtual assistant job

Cos I'm really good at those grin

Good day Sir, I have to say this proposal I just read is very compelling and convincing. I still consider myself as a toddler in this craft but I want to open and own an upwork account but naive about the process, if you'll be kind enough to assist or just give me steps to.
