Hey Josh, I don't know if you see this comment or not (Reply me back if you do) but I really want to thank you for teaching me how to work on Upwork. After watching your few videos on upwork I landed my first Upwork Job after 2 years of struggles. I'm a web developer and was struggling a lot and wasted all the connects every month. Then I have a thought of searching some things on youtube for upwork then I found your channel. After spending a week while watching your videos and understanding the concepts and how to on upwork, I sent 3 proposals on the very same day and got replies from 2 clients and got my first project from one of those client. Thanks a lot Josh.

@@aprilnzuve6471 Luck has absolutely nothing to do with it. That person you just described is an anomaly. The people who win are the ones that consistently put themselves in positions to be lucky. That means doing the same tasks every single day, improving, and going above and beyond. Simply think, "what is everyone else doing?" Then do the opposite. That means when people quit and say it's all about lucky, keep going and keep improving.

As you see down on the [apply job] section after a few time under the [attachment] section there is no boost proposal option and it's didn't show only payment verified jobs what is the reason for that
Thanks for all this value. I have a problem I created a freelance profile couple years a got but never used it and recently I created by mistake a cliente account and used it using my own payement methods and now I figured out that I have two different accounts by mistake wish is against upwork policies. I tried to contact them because I want to start offering my services there but there was only a both chat and didn't help me at all what do you think I should do ?

Cover letter
Hello Josh. This is quite an insightful video. Now, a question is, what is a tip one could use if the amount of industrial experience is not as vast? In addition to this, what about if one is breaking out into a different industry or tech stack and has not had much demonstrable work?
PROPOSAL 100%
Proposal!
Proposal 😊
Really helpful, i am just getting my feet wet with Upwork, thank you so much. QUESTION related to your call to action, what medium do you suggest for the 10 minute introductory call? The advice is to not send out your contact info, i.e. keep things on the Upwork platform. So not sure how to facilitate this unless I am missing something?
From your cover letter, it shows you're a professional. For a beginner who just got vetted, fit to apply for work on any freelance platform . How are you gonna write your cover letter.???
