Awesome tips for looking a gig on upwork.
There are a lot of new freelancers in the online platforms who do not know how to apply or are wanted to apply properly for a job and want to get the first job online.
This awesome tip is extremely supportive for all types of freelancers, mainly new freelancer or beginner freelancer, who don`t know how to apply for a job or How to apply for a job on upwork.com.
1. Read the requirements before you bid - some require 100 hours worked on Upwork - and when a client requests that they won't even see your proposal if you apply without that requirement.
2. ALWAYS ONLY apply for payment verified clients - the reason for this is that Upwork had a system in place to catch scammers - verifying their payment methods - it's a huge sign that they are real people looking for help
3. Until you build your hours worked and good reviews you'll not get the higher paying long term projects. You might stumble into one but it's really important that you take a couple assignments that aren't what you are looking for to simply build yourself and reputation.
4. Keywords! Like stated above - read the posting because what you're looking for may be hidden under administrative or data entry instead of web content
5. Cover letter - get to the point and don't be overly wordy. The client will have sometimes thousands to read so showcase your skills and introduce yourself in as few as words possible. Spell and grammar check are also important.
