Hi Wassim,
When you start out it can be difficult to stand out in a crowded place, but in my experience, it gets easier and easier.
I am a content writer, and here are some tips that I think worked for me:
- Applying only to jobs that I was literally perfect for.
- It is a competitive space and if you're not perfect for a job you can assume someone else will do it better.
- Find jobs within your niche and apply to them and them only. This will save you a lot of time.
- Send a detailed proposal that is well written
- Check your spelling and grammar.
- Read the description properly and reference it in your proposal - especially if they've asked you to write a specific sentence or phrase
- Match the clients budget
- It may be okay to exceed it a bit, but if a client asks for a job to be done for $300 and you bid $1,000 then you're too expensive for them.
- Equally if they ask for $300 and you say you will do it for $20 - they may be suspicious of the quality of work you will deliver
- Complete your profile 100%
- I can't see your profile, but you need to make sure you've filled out as much as you possibly can
- Include examples of work from work off Upwork to show you can do what you say you do
- Include your education and employment history etc etc - like I said complete as much as you can
- Complete the Upwork readiness test if you haven't already
Those are a few tips that will serve you well! - good luck!!
