How To Make Your Proposals Stand Out On Upwork

There are many things you can do in order to make your proposals stand out on Upwork.

Make Sure You Know The Topic:

This is a given but many people bid on jobs they aren’t qualified for. Do some research on the topic and make sure you understand it before you propose a solution.

Personalize Your Proposal:

This is one of the most important things you can do to make your proposal stand out. When you personalize your proposal, you are showing that you took the time to read the job post and understand what they are

Slow Down

You may be excited to start sending proposals, but it’s important to take your time and personalize each one. If you can’t take the time to write a good proposal, the client will be able to tell and they will likely not award you the project.

Use the client’s name in your proposal

By using their name, they won’t feel as if you’re just copying and pasting the same proposal to everyone. You can find the client’s name in their job posting, or you can reach out to them through Upwork’s messaging system.

Mention something specific that you like about their job posting

If they think you’re just applying just for the sake of making some money, they’re not going to award you the project. Show that you’re interested in their project and have taken the time to read their job posting.

Reference a previous project you worked on for them (or a similar project)

This is very important. Showing you have previous experience with a similar project will show the client that you’re qualified for the job.

Highlight your skills and experience that match their needs

Make sure to list your skills and experience in the job listing, as this is what the client will be looking for.

Use positive language and be enthusiastic about the project

The client wants to feel excited about their project, and you should be too! Use positive language in your proposal to show that you’re a good fit for the project.\

A cover letter could do wonders

Creating a cover letter that includes a bit about yourself and why you’re the perfect fit for the project can help your proposal stand out.

Proofread your proposal before you send it

Last but not least, make sure to proofread your proposal for mistakes. Typos and grammar errors will make you look unprofessional.

By following these tips, you’ll be on your way to sending successful proposals on Upwork!

Conclusion

With all that being said you need to stay persistent. Persistence and quality always win in the end. So keep grinding, sending proposals and you will land projects.

Upwork is all about who you know, so make sure to get connected with other freelancers and clients as much as possible. The more people you know, the more opportunities will come your way.
