"And if you're scared of calls, just don't be scared of calls anymore."
People with social anxiety: 👁👄👁
😂😆😂😆😂
me 👁👄👁
Exactly
Right? 🙄
POV: You start Upwork so you can work remotely SPECIFICALLY to eliminate in-person communication... Voice is the only possible way to communicate with these people? Aaaaand I can't take their money and run, that's the whole point, so whyyyyy??? ffs...
Thank you so much, Aleksander! I used your advice in creating my first proposal on Upwork. It's so simple. God bless!
That was very informative, thanks Aleksander.
In addition to his tips always keep an eye on Spelling mistakes and Grammar. This is super important. If you want to be professional then this should be at the top of your list.
I don’t feel like primary school English advice really needs to be part of advice for adults starting a business but sure why not ;)
Cracking video! A lot of great content. Thank you from (not so sunny) Edinburgh! :)
To the point and unique information. Thanks for making this video!
This was a very good Council and change of orientation.
Thank you
I don’t usually get sentimental on the internet and tell people I love them but I love you bro. Already gotten a few contracts in under two weeks cause of you 🙏🏾
You're welcome
rule#1: write a proposal to get people of calls instead of selling yourself.
rule#2: write it as project proposal, not as Job application.
I will try this! Thanks for the advice!
How is it going?
Thanks for the wonderful tips
Thank you. If I succeed I'll be back for more lesson!
Very useful and dynamic method. Going to implement this on my proposals! Thank you!
Wait until you check out the entire playlist ;)
did it worked??
You so hot
Also Me
I am going to try your tips. Thank you!
Did you try it? How were the results?
How did it go SlavicGirl By?
Simps
Thank you for your tips
I just read through your caption and it just inspired me man. I now purpose to be a loyal subscriber.
Great advice...thanks.
Thank you for these great tips, watching from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Finally seeing someone from Nigeria, so hows it going so far?
@@tracytony Nice Guys, wishing you success in your endeavours
How's the journey so far
Same here.
Pls is there anyway I can connect to you for tips?
@@tracytony I'm also from Ghana and I haven't had any clients so far
Now I just realized how many connects I've lost...
Same here 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I don't understand the connects at all
Great tips!
thanks, it was helpful.
Changes my mind 💯
This was great, so valuable! I was wondering what is a good way to write those proposal but this makes sense now 😄
Hey
@@abdulhammed4244 of course you would say hii🤣
Thanks teacher
I’m saving this for later’
Hi Aleksander, can you tell me what's the website to review traffic analytics you mention in the video please?
Отличное видео! Спасибо автору!
Оставляю комментарий для поддержки!
Do you know if we are allowed to use booking links, like Calendly in our proposals? Does it violate ToS? Thanks for the great videos!
You cannot ask for contact info in any way.
Hello Aleksander. Thank you so much for the sharing information about proposals at Upwork. Do you happen to have a video for zero experience of freelancing. Hope to hear from you.
Thank you so much
You work on upwork also?

hey aleksander your are really amazing , i just want to know how to close clients if I don't have any certificate and portfolio
Hi Aleksander, Thank you so much for this video. You have explained many big things in the video, but I just have one request, if you really have that much of knowledge and if whatever you are saying in your videos is true, then please share the link to your Upwork profile, or screenshots of your Upwork profile, and show all of us your winning ratios. Make sure, I am asking these questions on behalf of all your subscribers and we don't want to know your earnings on Upwork so you can hide those data. Just show examples of real winning bids that you have actually won. We all really appreciate that. Thank you.
I work with 212 agencies who submit thousands of bids per month using our process, check them out at businessmentor.com
This is a really good video, but it's more focused on the logistic freelancers. I'd love to see tutorials like these but on video design :)
Works the same for non-"logistic" freelancers.
@@AleksanderVitkin Yeah, but I mean for example Video Editors are more focused on following instructions. But really good video and thanks for asking :)
"As long as you're not scared of calls. And if you are, just don't be scared of calls anymore. " ... Of course, why didn't I think of that??
Big brain IQ right there
@Aleksander Vitkin i am a fresher just have an ID that was made 8 years ago how do i get clients to give me the contracts related to data entry n Graphic design?
It is nice videos ,would help me in attaching sending sample of written proposal I have got difficulties as bignner in writing the proposal.
Can I be your worker? So far, this is the best advise I got from youtube :)
Great 👏
Hi! I love your videos. I have a question about bidding as an agency. When I bid for my agency, I do it on behave of an agency freelancer. For example, for SEO projects i bid on behave of agency member A, and for Wordpress projects, I bid on behave of agency member B. So my question is: How would you adapt the tips and tricks you mention on this video for bidding as an agency? Would you link the agency member profile ( or not because its already there)
Have freelancers send proposals, individually.
"As long as you're not scared of calls; and if you are, just don't be scared of calls anymore..." Thanks! That worked!
Seriously though, I have some problems hearing so calls can be difficult. Not to mention Mush-Mouth tendencies.
Hmmm you can get away with chat since you may not have a choice, or solve it with some type of hearing tech.
Of course, if hearing is a physical unsolvable issue, go for chat (y)
@@AleksanderVitkin Yeah, it's weird. My hearing is decent, It's just muffled on a phone or with any background noise. I don't have the funds right now, but I would like to get noise-canceling headphones with a mic that I can Bluetooth to my phone.
Don't use bluetooth. Get a $40 usb gaming headset that is highest rated on amazon for noise cancellation, then amplify audio in windows to the maximum setting.
Nice
Happy I watched this video cause I was about to do about of nonsense 😂
Hello, does anyone knows how to send message to freelancers ?
Hi I’m new to Upwork and I want to start ghostwriting
How do I go about it
I was quite doubtful from the get-go, as it just sounds too simple to be true.
Well, do have to say thank you very much, Aleksander.
Since I've been writing my proposals in the style that you recommend here, I get to get on a call with a potential client now as good as every second time I write a proposal.
Thanks a bunch!
Good to hear, I always want to chat to people who implement. Reach out to me on facebook.com/aleksander.vitkin if you want.
@@AleksanderVitkin And about to reach out in the next few minutes!
What length of time do you recommend scheduling calls? I know that this is depends on the project but what has worked best for you on average in the web development space?
As soon as humanly possible
Which app do you use to schedule calls?
nice
Could i paste my website url in the cover letter in order to see my portfolio and past work as a proof?
you cannot link to places that display your contact info
Hey
my upwork account not verified any idea please guide me
Thanks for your useful tips. My strategy to write down a powerful cover letter is followin, Kindly highlight mistakes if you found any
1- Greetings
2- Demonstrate Credibility
4- Demonstrate Reliability
5- CTA
Have you watched the video?
How can I contact you?

What's about the entry level experience
Yes please!
For entry level you need to build a portfolio. Make samples of the tye of service you provide. You can search here on CZcams on how to create a portfolio for the skill you have.A portfolio is proof of your skills if you are entry level.
Do you screen clients based on their %hire rate?
nah
@@AleksanderVitkin Thank you very much!
HI, I am trying to get my first job on Upwork. Haven't gotten one yet and I am trying. I have 1 question. Can you give some details as to what you say when suggesting get on a call. Do you have to have calendly ? How do you get them on call? What else do you say.. like do you say book a session on my calendly? or something else? Thanks so much.
James I'm also on Upwork trying to get my first job too. I wish you all the best.
Same!
Saw this after sending my first proposal 😂😂😂
So after i send a proposal. Then what , do they send a email or what.
Hi. I have been trying to do this but it isn't working. What will you suggest for a person just starting out?
Your advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time
You need to optimize it until it works. Nothing in this world that's worth doing "just works" right off the bat, you need to run your business properly, and your lead generation needs to be improved daily.
What are your thoughts on adding short Loom's video to your proposal?
works for some if done right using a proven process
@@AleksanderVitkin Thank you Alexsander
I've sent you a PM on Facebook
I need your suggestion, I am submitting 6 to 7 proposal but still not find any work order. Can you provide a suggestion about who to receive work order?
Hi! I'm Ashleigh and I've been on the Upwork Platform since 2013 and have been a Top Rated Freelancer with 100% Job Success Score since 2017. I have a whole Upwork series on my youtube channel for those looking to earn money on Upwork so I can help you out a bit.
@@AshleighJessicaTaylor what's the name of your CZcams channel?
@@AshleighJessicaTaylor your CZcams link
What if there’s no testimonies ? Just like being a beginner in the freelancing world
Amazing
Although i just started upwork so i did not have any jobs and if it is my first job is it OK if i do not give them any links or files of my work?
@@AshleighJessicaTaylor doesn't answer the question. You are just promoting your channels here
And what if you do not have proofs or links for the work since you are new in the industry
Yeah wondering too
Nice English! Were you born in the US?
What happens if you continue to fail to get accepted for listings on upwork? Honestly trying but…
send 15 proposals per day 7 days a week AND SLOWLY IMPROVE AND OPTIMIZE don't juts do the same thing that doesn't work, it's a funnel like any other
Now that you can not see the name of the job poster until he replies to your proposal, how do you greet him/her?
You can find clients' name from their reviews. 90% of freelancers might have mentioned it somewhere there.
@@yournextdoorgossiper I somehow found out the solution - but thanks anyways.
If clients do not include all the relevant information you mention in the video (i.e. include details about the project, but do not share their website) how can you give feedback to them? Don't you send the proposal?
Guido Hummel Ask them for it and get them on a call.
Sorry Aleks, but how is that a NOT very long proposal? It could take hours as well writing this "simple" proposal.
If you do not like call, just start liking them 😂😂
yebat, eto tak..
Please share the tips
This would make sense if clients weren't global and offering 60 hours of work for $5.00
I work with one agency in Australia that gets mid 5 figures of sales monthly from Australian clients. Upwork only.

Unfortunately, a proposal will never be going to work if you don't have ratings, I tried the client side of Upwork, and usually, new or zero rating freelancers get filtered at the bottom. Most so LEGIT clients will only look for a freelancer with lots of jobs done and decent ratings. so if you are new to Upwork it would be challenging to even get a first client and most of them are scammers who are trying to scam you because you are new to the platform.
Some truth in this comment ..so let me ask is it easier to win jobs with atleast two people having rated your work?
@@sharonsang1213 still challenging but it is a bit better than having zero jobs done or no rating.
Read some of the other responses to this video of people with new accounts who got responses.
Easiest way to get banned on Upwork, trying to get clients to contact you via other means e.g CALLS. Do explain CLEARLY how to get them on call without RISKING ban.
You can make calls on UpWork itself.
@@JSNMusic how to link this in the proposal?
I'm 6:45 minutes in and still have not seen the example...
At 6:45 I'm in the middle of telling you exactly what to write.
Too boring 💤
