If a client says they are super busy and will chat you up like the upper week is that another way of saying they are not interested or they really busy. i really wants to start landing client other than my only client i have. https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~0182a58be39fc9313b?mp_source=share. this is my profile to see if i am doing things the right way

Hi, 

I have some Clients who contact me and usually ask me one question. How much costs? 

I am confused and can not answer right now. I only said within around the minimum and maximum amount that Clients proposed in their Posts. Or I mentioned they can propose the budget they expect for projects that they need to hire. 

But, they keep silent and don't answer. 

I don't understand the reason. Because my background is strong and good then they contact or proactive to find me. But Why do they only ask one question "How much cost?" and keep silent? 
If I suggest one detail amount of figure, I think that there will be many others suggest lower...
I only want to work, I don't understand.

[#11]

Just reply to the client and ask them for more details.

[#12]

Thank you so much, Samer B.

[#13]

Feel free to keep me updated.

[#14]

Whenever a client asks this question, I respond "That's like asking a chef, how much does it cost to make dinner?" - Any contractor needs more information in order to provide an accurate bid to avoid confusion later.  It's shocking that the vast majority of clients don't understand this.  

[#15]

I see that they almost only want to bid and to get lowest costs, lowest price. 

They treat like this, I can't win Offers, unitl now many Post still there, not final hire anyone for long time. 

Because I know, I suggest the price that I can do, and others want to get contract, they will ready give lower prices than me. And I also lose. 
I only want to work and fair both of sides and within acceptance threshold sides.

[#16]

Let me know if I can help in any way

Hi, could you help me?
I send proposals every day and no one contacts me.

[#23]

Its about the following pillars: 

1. choose the correct niche

2. profile, make sure its complete

3. submit proposals

4. get smaller clients at the start

5. do great work and get a good review / jss

6. keep doing the above (yes, you MUST submit a LOT of proposals > connects)

I hope this helps. No secrets here. Just hard work and doing good work.

I am always around to help for anyone who needs it.
