Hello @Everyone something is wrong with my upwork account. I have a new accounton upwork its verified, i have created a portfolio in addition to this i have testimonials on my profile from past clients whenever i send a proposal i get proposal view most of the clients don't respond my proposals. I got two responses on my proposals so far but when i reply them telling i am ready for work they kinda vanish somewhere they dont reply me afterwards it happend to me 2 times one of the client wanted to make a call with me i said i am available for call and he never responded its been 5 months and the proposal was pending for about 4 months then the job was closed. Now, the second client contacted me to ask if i can start working on project immediately. I said yes, client was online saw my reply and now the account is offline since then, the proposal is pending no response i am really confused. I have worked on upwork earlier and its very first time this thing is happening is there anyone who can help please?

If you're struggling to sign clients on Upwork and you're not sure why, this post should help. I'm about to show you how to identify the bottleneck in your Upwork process and solve it. /// Step 1: Measure the number of proposals you submit that get viewed. At least 40% of the proposals you submit should be viewed by the client. If it’s lower than that, this is your current bottleneck. To solve this bottleneck, try these 2 fixes: Make sure you are personalizing the first 300 characters of your proposal based on the job description. Make sure you are including social proof in the first 300 characters of your proposal. Examples of social proof are: - Your years of experience - # of projects you've completed - Any awards, or recognitions you've received - Big clients you work for (If Apple is your client, mention it!!) The reason we want to include social proof and personalization in the first 300 characters of our proposal, is because when you submit a proposal to a job on Upwork, the client only sees a preview of it (the first 300 characters). If they click on it, they will see the whole thing, which counts as a view. Boosting your proposals will also result in more views. /// Step 2: Measure the number of proposals you submit, who send you a message. This should be at least 1/10, meaning if you submit 10 proposals, you get at least 1 message. If it’s lower than that, this is your bottleneck. This means that either your profile or your proposal isn't optimized (or maybe both). If this is your bottleneck, review the modules inside the classroom on these topics. /// Step 3: Measure the number of messages you get who book calls with you. This should be at least 30%, meaning if 10 people message you, at least 3 of them book calls with you. If it’s lower than that, this could be your bottleneck.
