Hi it’s Aqib Razzaq are you here to get an Upwork Proposal Writing sample that actually works and gets people to respond to you and buy from you well I’m gonna give you exactly that because so many people do this wrong people write the wrong thing at our profile and then they send proposals that are very very long and don’t produce any results whatsoever they spend hours and hours on a single proposal writing just looking at their computer screen and just typing and typing and typing forever and then the client doesn’t even open the proposal so in this blog I’m gonna show you exactly how to solve this once and for all I’m gonna give you a framework and I’ll give you give you an example of how to solve this so you.
How to write an Upwork Proposal :
Never have to wonder how to structure and how to write an Upwork Proposal in Proposal Writing that gets results so why am I qualified to talk about this well like I say in all my other blogs I’ve been an Upwork myself since 2011 here’s proof of the email where I sign up to up work it used to be called oDesk and I’ve helped hundreds of people to do the same thing successfully. So let’s dive right into it here’s the Upwork proposal writing simple and here are the guidelines so the first guideline before I give you the actual example is that you need to write in a way with where you get people on a call okay most people they write proposals as if it’s some kind of way to get people to buy from you and it simply isn’t you’re not gonna get people to buy from you necessarily for a proposal Writing and if you do they’re not gonna pay you a lot of money it’s very hard to convince people via text to buy from you so what you do is you structure your proposal writing just like you structure your profile in a way where you get them on calls Upwork is a tool to get people on calls once you realize this everything becomes a lot easier because you can handle on a live call you can handle whatever issues people have and you can resolve it and then get them to hire you if necessary if you actually want to work with them in the first place that way you can avoid clients that are a pain in the head and you can take away the guesswork and replace it with talking to a human being and deciding if you’re a good fit doesn’t that sound better well it is as long as you’re not scared of calls and if you are just don’t be scared of calls anymore.
Some Rules Of Proposals Writing :
Rule number one write the proposal not as a way to sell yourself in your service but as a way to get people on calls. Rule number 2 there’s no reason to write it as if it’s a job application it isn’t a job application, Upwork is not for jobs I know there call jobs and even I say jobs sometimes but it is not a job application you’re not being hired in for a full-time position you’re not visiting a business where the business owners is interviewing you to give you a full-time salary it is a platform where people are hiring freelancers and agencies to do a project and to get the projects you don’t write a job proposal. You write in a way where you get them on calls so forget these long long form job applications that people write but all the skills and all the stuff that they’ve done or all this nonsense let me give you a much simpler framework in fact let’s just dive right that’s enough rules for now I’m sure you’re tired of readings to rules let’s just dive right into the sample so I’m gonna come up with us on the fly because I’ve been an Upwork since 2011 we can just figure one out right here during this first stake here of the of the recording so let’s just say we’re selling Google Ads that’s gonna be the example and we’re selling Google Ads to someone who is looking to do Google Ads for an online store that sells dog colors why cuz I used to sell dog colors and I know a thing or two about dog colors I know it’s weird so here’s the thing so you start with what’s they want so you write high name if you know the name of a person like hey Johnny here’s how to sell dog collars on your online store or using Google Ads okay you’re probably getting all these messages from people and they’re writing you about older accomplishments and instead let’s just talk about your store that sells dog collars and how to make this work on Google Ads so you can grow your business and not learn everything about Google ads and figure out everything yourself so you can give a project to someone else perhaps me perhaps someone else and you know that’ll be taken care of, For you so I’ve taken a look at your store here’s immediately some feedback first of all your store and what’s likely to be your landing page currently not designed in a way where it’s compliant with Google ad policy right that’s the first thing so what I’d like to do for you is I’d like to hope on a call and give you an exact strategy on how to get this handled for your business so you never have to worry about having a non-compliant landing page or non-compliant page for Google Ads policy right so he basically you tell him immediately as soon as possibly prove instead of saying you’re an expert you prove to him that in fact you know already a solution and that’s gonna be worth while talking to you about and then you say right so next up.
Being a trusted consultant while Writing Proposal :
Here a bunch of clients that I’ve worked with here are three reviews you can peruse them at your own leisure when you have time here are links video links to them talking about the results that I’ve gotten for them or here is screenshots or whatever n else so this may be a surprise to you but a lot of buyers on Upwork they don’t actually know how to hire a freelancer they don’t actually know how to make a decision on what the best solution is for them or even what to do they know they need something with lead generation or ads or traffic to their website or something like that and they need your help with this so you need to prove to them that in fact you can help them by being a trusted consultant who’s not just trying to get their money and run away okay so then you may want to start telling him who you’re looking to work with and why so you write stuff like all right so since you’re looking to do Google Ads for the dog collar shop I’ve already prepared a report before we even started prepared reports I’ve gone through the analytics I know which traffic is coming to your website and where you’re getting it from in fact these are your top three traffic sources you can go to alexa.com and figure this out by the way or use another tool and here’s likely who your buyers are currently so here are some more types of buyers you may want to be getting I’d be more than happy to share more detailed reports with you again on the call so I can give you live feedback and really help you other than that here are some answers to the questions you’ve asked in your job post so that you know obviously if you want to talk we’re going to make sure that we’re the right fit but here already some answers for luminary answers I’d be more than happy to again cover the more the the call but hopefully this is a value to you and here are some more testimonials from some my previous clients who’ve run ecommerce stores that I’ve done Google ads for and here are their results that they’ve got it.
Proposal writing is very very very simple :
And then you list a bunch of results if you got it looking forward to talking to you and here’s again the link to book a call with me that’s it that’s the proposal writing is very very simple you can shuffle this around a little bit change the wording have you noticed that I’m writing as if I’m writing to a friend it’s not like this super official letter right it’s just a human who doesn’t really know what he’s doing necessarily and he needs your help and he needs to be treated like a human that’s why he’s on Upwork getting a freelancer and on hiring some agency from down the street he wants to be treated like a human and he wants to be talked to in a way that he understands in his own language how is this different from how most freelancers are doing job posts and asari proposals writing they’re writing these huge lists of things they did and how they’ve been featured in some blog or something like that and how they have a master’s degree in sociology no one cares like no one cares when they’re hiring just try hiring yourself and Upwork and see what it feels like reading through super long posts where people didn’t even even read what you need right so untangle the mess untangle the mess of the job post that they’ve written and make it super clear to them of how to proceed and how to get a result that they actually want that they’ve posted about and even rephrase it in a way where it makes more sense for them right and they’ll appreciate that because you’re already giving them value by making what they want to achieve Abal systematize step by step goal that is very valuable to buyers because that is the main value they’re looking for otherwise they would just hire an employee who would just follow the instructions right they want to hire you for you know 50 to 300 hours an hour or more because you’re at a person who can clear things up for them create clarity and everything and create a plan and an executed on a plan that’s what an intermediate or high ends professional does when it comes to ads or any other service now I’m using Google as an example you can use this everywhere you don’t just have to sell local ads if you’re reading this blog obviously so hope that helps so how to get one project a week or more so check out the next blog right here and also if you like this blog if you enjoy the content you’d like more tips on up work and other agency building solutions then click the subscribe and then allow the notification so you get updates on all my future blogs thank you and see in the next blog which is right here …..
