Hello!
we everyone was new once.
And we know that sending a proposal is one of the first options to get hired.
I have recently posted a project for one of my tasks that needed to be done.
And the biggest mistake we all did and still I can see that 80% of sellers do is
1) Never read or understand what the buyer actually looking for.
Example: A buyer asking for WordPress website migration
and 70% of Sellers with big details with where and when they have created a WordPress website their portfolio, their experience,
come-on I don't want to see how many websites you have created so far, I just need my WordPress website migration.
2)if the buyer put $5 for 1000 YouTube subscribers they are looking for.
70% seller place bid for $5
NOH! Don't do it!
can you ever bring 1000 YouTube Subscribers for $5? no then why did you have placed a bid with $5?
You should clearly say that I will charge $xxx for 1000 YouTube subscribers.
If your bid is higher than the buyer's budget, Clearly mention this while submitting the request.
"I have checked that you have $5 budget for 1000 Subscribers but collecting 1000 Subscribers for $5 is not possible for anyone because ................
.................................... ( you know why you cannot do it in the buyer's budget )
3)Asking the buyer to contact before hiring.
This breaks the buyer's heart because they know you have never read or understood their work details
and when someone posts a project the main thing why they posted it is because they don't want to waste their time
contacting multiple sellers in their inbox.
Example: I have posted a project " I am looking for someone who can bring 10,000 Spotify REAL USA Plays in 7 days"
proposal1: I can Collect 10,000 Spotify REAL USA Plays in 5 days for $xxx
proposal 2:I can Collect 10,000 Spotify REAL USA | Premium Plays | many followers | save and playlist added but please contact me before ordering...
Whom you will hire?
Surely proposal 1
The person who asked you to contact before hiring because you know he offers more service but he/she will increase the price you will just ignore him/her whatever he/she offers better service or lower price.
LAST but the main mistake!
Never post a paragraph while sending a proposal,
No one have time to read
When you have started freelancing
Why this work is important for you
How many similar projects you have completed before
What is your rating in upwork
What is your upwork level ( they can watch it if they want by clicking on your profile )
!!Post A small short detail!!
that you can do it and how you will do it, why the buyer should hire you.
Simple!
BEST OF LUCK!!!
