I have a debate going on with a person teaching how to be successful on Upwork (this person has no experience as a freelancer just as a "client" allegedly) He is advising rookies to apply to jobs with 50+ proposals. I told him that is better to avoid jobs with more than 20 proposals especially if you are a new freelancer.
I feel that is a waste of connects, especially now that we will be charged. What do you all think?

@ Lex D ...**Edited for Community Guidelines**
Has it ever occurred to you that you are 100% incorrect? Or is intentionally offering incorrect advice a tactic you use in the hopes of narrowing down the competitors in your playing field?
Tanya and others - I've never read such rubbish advice - on any platform - as this dude is spewing. If ever in doubt, the forums are designed to ask questions; just check the profiles of those who respond to make sure they are actually qualified to give advice.
Sorry about my rant but I loathe and detest stupidity ... esp. when it is spoon fed to others as a cure all.

I suspect that his language is intended to effect the results promised by NLP. He has just executed the strategy very poorly.
