Deya! I finally got a steady job as an audio editor for podcasts. Your tips helped me A LOT, and I'm sure they will keep bringing a lot of value to my freelance career. Thank you so much!
Starting my Upwork profile today!! Let’s Go!! These videos are so helpful and positive especially compared to the other videos that make it seem impossible to find your first client. Thank you for giving me hope to my first $1000 on Upwork!!!
The points about even some of the best get rejected and the consistencies with systems really do work well because yes, figuring out that system to go along with consistency, does involve some failure so it's not a belt watches situation and time well spent, not wasted, or should I say, waisted :)
Deya, thank you for this video. It's very encouraging. I just started my freelancing career on Upwork, and I'm so close to giving up, but I'll keep pushing. I've sent 9 proposals in total with no response, which got to me. However, after watching this video, I'll keep trying till I win the first. It's all about getting the first
Hey Tolulope! I actually just checked my Upwork profile yesterday for another video that I filmed - and I found that it took me 20 proposals to land my first job on Upwork and another 20 proposals to land my second job. In total, I've sent 288 proposals on Upwork and MANY resulted in no responses. Just sharing as encouragement! :) Keep going!
Wow, thanks. Not a lot of people talk about the process. I even started to think it was because of my location( I'm working from Nigeria, and there's a bad rep). Never change; you're so real. That's very hard to find online these days.
Thank you, Deya for your informative videos. I'd like to start my freelancing journey on Upwork but I don't know where to start. As you mentioned in your video when you just started, you applied for different jobs. I am facing a problem setting up a generic profile. I can do graphic design, transcription, and voiceover. Any tips will be highly appreciated.
Thank you for such a helpful video. Would you mind sharing any of the actual proposals you’ve sent? I’ve sent loads and no response. I’m a copywriter but would be great to see formatting, what you include, how personalised you are etc. I will preserve after watching this video though. 😊
Thanks, Bonita! You'll actually like one of the videos we have upcoming - I share my Upwork proposal template and break down the sections in detail! :) Look out for that - it'll be out later this month.
