Tip to Get Hired Every time You send an Upwork Proposal

I said goodbye to the use of Upwork proposal templates some time ago. The attached image here is my typical result now. How did I do it?

I have seen many posts on LinkedIn where the Upwork coach shares a sample proposal. This is actually good but gets abused by the freelancers who copy it verbatim, do half-assed editing on it, and start distributing it to every job. They will get some results, but that is not the best because you will have to send so many proposals to get one job. I remember I once sent out 68 proposals to get one hire; in those days, I used copied templates.

However, with my new style of sending Upwork proposals, I get better responses. The chances that I will get the job are above 75%, provided the client views my proposal. My methods are strange and not what many freelance coaches teach or agree with, but my results and those I mentor prove that my Upwork tips work!

Here are some of my magical tactics for winning jobs on Upwork:

1. Do not copy and paste templates. If you must, re-read and adjust it properly to fit each job you are applying for.

2. Restate the core problem of the client and probably how you intend to solve it by describing your process.
