Winning proposals Or getting clients to respond to you after accepting their invite! Most new freelancers like me think that getting an invite is a guarantee that the client will respond to your proposal.

I found this video very interesting. Besides providing pro tips on becoming successful in Upwork, your video also sparked in me a lot of interest about Data Engineering, SQL Server DBA & SQL Developent. Honestly I have only known a thing or two about it until now, but at the moment I really want to learn more & persue after it, and utilize my time & energy into a better future. I love how you have a great relationship with all your clients, even when in long term work relationships. Im really motivated.
Nowadays, I am stuck while writing my proposal about how I can provide more value to my client and stand out from others. I was thinking where I can get some new information. Because I already saw all the KZread videos about proposals. After checking your channel yesterday. Today I found this video in my suggestion, and it gives me new ideas that I can use to stand out and improve my proposals. Thanks again Josh.

Amazing and thorough video as always, Josh. As a fellow freelancer, I appreciate the knowledge you share with your audience on this topic. I know freelance sites can get a bad reputation, but when you put the work in and follow proven systems (like the proposal format you laid out), anyone can have success. I was able to become Top Rated on Upwork as well and have seen client demand on Upwork increase even more over the past 1-2 years. Keep it up!
Very Insightful, and these tips & tricks are actually helpful and intellectually performed. Salute to you for such great content, Please make more videos like these.

Very good information but I don't know how to start first time work on upwork . Please help me by learning this idea to start working
In 2021 take a job on Upwork became so difficult, especially after adding the proposal boost feature. Within a week I've sent around 30 cover letters and, in my stats I see one (1) watched ((. I think that because most people decided to become a freelancer after the pandemic.

While more people became freelancers, more companies also started using freelancers. It’s easy to make excuses instead of looking inward and identifying what you need to improve on. I recommend watching my video covering common Upwork mistakes.

Hey Josh, im a first year computer science student. Recently i came across freelancing and I'm determined to get into it Do you think that data science would be a good field to get into , in terms of demand for data science freelancers. Also, do you think that clients may not actually prefer me because i don't have any actual work experience. thanks
@JoshBurnsTech
3 жыл бұрын
Data science is definitely a great field with demand. If you don't have any work experience, then you will need to be able to showcase your abilities. This means doing projects for yourself, etc. Focus on being able to create a portfolio that shows your abilities.
How much time do you usually spend creating proposals?
Josh hopefully u are doing well. Plz suggest me video or link where i can find how upwork rank the purposal to client. How can be a purposal on 1st page on client list. What factor behind it. I search but noting satisfying me. Can you help me. Its a challenge for you . Figure out plzz.

I love this video Josh!!. But I have one question to ask.. What can a freelancer that doesn't have any portfolio or past jobs samples, probably he or she just newly learnt an online skill and is for sure good at the job posted. What do you suggest for such freelancers cos their chances of getting a job is very slim. Does it mean, they never get to have a job. I really need help on this cos I am one of such
Josh this is off topic but deep down my heart says You can solve my problem, Thing is I've been freelancing for quite a time and earned $3k in 1 year on Fiverr. I know That I can achieve 100X than this but I get stuck at the work ethic part! Can you recommend to me anything that I can do to become insanely disciplined and extremely hardworking? Any books?

Hi Josh, I'm a beginner freelancer on upwork, so should I apply on those who had *$0 spent-payment verified* -clients? & also as well as on them who have *payment unverified* ?? Because i've heard that if these type of clients cheats with their payment methods(like stolen credit cards..etc) the customer's account will be suspended as well as the freelancer's account, can u sort it out to me? then it'll be very helpful🙂
sorry if i have no experience on the work am applying to now how am i going attach my portfolio?
