No response from Clients

Hi, I'm new on Upwork but I used to work on other sites. 

The problem I'm having is there's no single response from the clients after submitting 10+ proposals. I want to make sure that I haven't applied for any job that I won't be able to complete. Even I submitted files with samples of the mentioned task in the proposals.

 

I have no idea if there's anything wrong with me or this site! This is just too frustrating for me.

As frustrating as it is, it's really normal.

I'm also a new member of Upwork. I've submitted 20+ proposals and run out of 50+ connections.

Didn't get a response or invitation.

Best wishes!Smiley Happy

I'm sure there's nothing wrong with you.  Perhaps its is your strategy and just the sign of the times.  More and more new freelancers are joining the platform making it extremely competitive.  

 

Try a combination of being very picky about the jobs you apply to (in your niche, exactly what you do, etc.) and craft custom proposals.  Don't give up. It could take months before you land your first gig.
