Because it has been inactive.
-You are new and you haven’t been submitting proposals in 90days, neither have you earned in this period.
-You haven’t earned in 2 years.

Basically inactiveness. Clients can see/read your proposals when you submit proposals, but they can’t find you. It is nothing really, just keep applying.

Hello good morning, please I need help with Gtbank Dom referee as all my referees have been rejected and I can't get my Upwork earnings. Please anyone with Gtbank current that can help. I don't mind a fee. Thank you

I keep telling you all struggling to get jobs, quit the bullshitting and submit IRRESISTIBLE proposals.

Here's an example - a completely new profile with zero earnings, reviews etc earning an easy peasy job for $1100.


Work on your proposals people. Trigger the child in your clients and you'll always smile.

You have been saying this and I am sure everyone has heard you. Maybe for once you should do something different - SHOW US HOW YOU WRITE YOUR PROPOSALS.

Good morning!

I'd share a snippet of that particular proposal that won this job. Not much by my standard, but with a completely new profile? A feat!

Removed

My proposal.

Clients do not give two shi*s about your achievements, but how you can help them.
Focus on proffering your client solutions in your proposals, and use a conversational and adrenaline pumping themed style to win them over..

Maybe because I didn't submit many proposals last month, but I averaged about $9k on upwork only.

Think out of the box my people

Talk is cheap and you keep on rambling by missing the salient point - PROPOSAL LETTER.

You only showed the project, price and naivety of the client but intentionally left what others are looking for to improve in attracting gigs - PROPOSAL LETTER.

You succeeded in giving sweet yearnings about your prowess winning bids to projects with a new and downgraded the - PROPOSAL LETTER.

Oga, show us the PROPOSAL LETTER.

I don't owe you shit Niqqur

OfficialDJ:
why should I repost it? Those who've seen it have seen it.

Don't expect another reply from me..

I removed it because, I felt uncomfortable.

If you were earlier you'd see it too.

Just for ten minutes. You can take it down after that.

I no dey carry shoulder. I came to learn

Don't mind the nigga talking like he's the one that sent you work.

Wow. I see what you mean by "adrenaline-pumped" theme.

You said you wrote a best-selling book.

Did you really?

LIke if it was ghostwritten, were you able to know where and when it was published and the title under which it was published?

I've written several books for clients but I never know what happens after I get paid.

Alright, cool.

So I've attached the job post and the proposal.

Good morning!

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

Jaycobbs:


Alright, cool.

So I've attached the job post and the proposal.

I like the first line of the proposal, you responded to their problem.

Jaycobbs:


Alright, cool.

So I've attached the job post and the proposal.

the highlighted part is where you got it wrong..

Clients do not give a hoot about your past achievements.

When you begin a proposal, IMMEDIATELY proffer a solution to their project.
It makes you standout from the beehive of spammers and copy paste time wasters.

The First thing the client sees are the first two lines of your proposal, so you need to make it as ATTENTION GRABBING as possible.

I've been on upwork for 9 years now, and it gets easier with time.

You'd get to the level where churning out job winning proposals will be second nature.


, HOOK your clients with the first two sentences, and you've got a good chance of winning the job....

Again, here's another mistake rookies make...


When the client interviews you, ASK questions.

Don't just swallow everything they say hook.line.sinker...
Yhis gives them the impression that you're genuinely interested in making their lives better...

Wish everyone all the best.
I'm out of the thread..

qtguru:

No he did not.
I'd be more excited about the proposal if he
1.
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.
