Solved: Re: Proposals not getting any response - Page 2

Suvidha R · ‎05-23-2020

Hi !!

I have been submitting customized proposals for each job. I am not randomly applying to every job. I have also replied promptly and diligently to every invitation I received, yet no successful conversion. I have lost a lot of my connects. I have tried everything from the articles that talked about perfect proposals but of no use. I am on the verge of discontinuing.

Kindly help.

Suvidha.

Honestly this is the landscape and you are in an area that has a ton of competition. You seem to be doing the right things in terms of applying to those jobs that make sense and your profile has personality. However, you are new with little UW experience and so there is a hill to climb. I receive invitations all the time and a very high percentage never bother to respond (makes you wonder why they invited you to begin with.) Maybe others in your field will have specific suggestions but like absolutely everyone here, it's a grind to get going. You may need to compromise a little to start in terms of the exact nature of the job in order to get reviews. I say "compromise" though and not dumpster dive. Beware of the race to the bottom with rates. You would be better to discontinue than do that. Know your value and be confident and professional when you do discuss with clients.

I am working on Upwork from last 1 year and every week I am getting 1-5 invitations but from last 10 days, I am not getting any invitations. What is the reason behind this?

To be invited you have to be found in searches. Search placement is rotated, to give everyone a chance, and the better your metrics, the more often you appear higher in the search results. Chances are that you are just not that high in the rotation at the moment, and your low JSS won't help.

I'm sure your feedback history isn't helping either when clients actually look at your profile after finding you in a search.

Thank you

You should give a refund to the client who gave you a 1-star review and said that you didn't do any work - it's only $7.50, so it would be better to get that off of your profile instead of scaring away potential clients. The effect on your JSS will remain, but you should be able to get your score up with a few more jobs (it's weird that you even have a JSS, with only two completed contracts).

Atul M · ‎11-27-2022

Hi, My upwork profile shows good work history with my previous clients. I have already been following whatever you guys have suggested about what we should/shouldn't include when sending the proposals. Its been 30 days since I have applied for over 80 most suitable jobs on upwork after reviewing the job posts in details. I got replies from only 5 clients in the past 30 days which and only 2 of them proceeded with some longer conversation but never closed the conversation in awarding me the job. Could you please check my profile and suggest me what is wrong with my profile? Thank You

Hi. Can you please check my profile also. I had very good profile but since last 4 months I am not getting any responses and my profile degraded.
Can you advice something so I can get responses?

Thanks

Kevin W · ‎05-19-2023

I am finding myself in the same situation. Connects are bleeding dry... No responses. I'm beginning to think there's bots messing around to burn up your connects to force you to buy more.... A income generator? Disappointing. I've had other professionals review my profile and agree the same it's decent.

Jaspal S · ‎12-06-2023

Hi Everyone,

I am facing the same situation. i tried after so laong in august 2022 and spent large sum of money on buying connects. But inspite of placing a bid within first 5 proposal, I didn't get any responses. Ultimately I gave up after 2 or 3 months. It's been more than a month since I have started again on Upwork , but still going through the same situation. It seems, as if I have to quit upwork now. Because, I don't to waste my money and time further.

Thanks,

Jaspal
