Can’t get hired, looking for tips

[b1fc04f5]

Hello, name is Andy. I am a new freelancer on Upwork. I’ve submitted in almost 40 proposals, however it seems like impossible to get a job here. Even if I tried to go straight to the client problems in the proposal and participate only in less than 3hour posts, my account was discovered only once.

I would appreciate, if anybody could give advice for a starter on Upwork. Is upgrade to premium account a good idea for a newbie?

Many thanks,
Andy

Thank you Luiggi for help. I have read all these articles and tried to apply main ideas in my Cover Letter, but still stuck.
