How to write an Effective Proposal Upwork

1. Use the first line to show that you’ve read their profile and understand what they need ( E.g ‘ Greetings i’ve read your statement and understands.. ‘ 

2. More ‘ You ‘ and less ‘ I ‘ 

3. Introduce yourself and explain why you’re an expert in what they need. 

4. Make a recommendation or ask a question to reinforce the fact that you’re an expert in this topic. 

5. Give your Portfolio ‘ Link ‘ if you have any. 

6. Close with a Call to Action to get them to reply. Either ask for a website to learn more, or ask them when they’re available to talk. 

7. Sign off with your name. 

8. Keep everything brief. Aim for less than 120 words in your proposal. 85-100 words is ideal. 

9. Use great spacing; you should only have two to three sentences MAXIMUM per paragraph in your proposal. 

10. Only send proposals for jobs posted on Upwork within the last 24 hours. You’ll be more likely to get the interview if you do this 

11. Never compete on price and never try to be the cheapest. 

12. Make sure you have a great profile that backs up everything you’re saying in yours proposal. #Upwork #Proposal
