Upwork par kaam shuru karte hi aik cheez bohot common sun’ne ko milti hai:“Algorithm dead hai.“New profiles ko kaam nahi milta.”Sirf connects waste ho rahe hain.”
Sach yeh hai ke algorithm ko blame karna asaan hota hai, lekin reality thori different hoti hai.
Common Myths vs Reality:
Myth #1: Upwork sirf old / Top Rated freelancers ko promote karta hai👉 Reality: Upwork client satisfaction aur relevance ko push karta hai, sirf badge ko nahi.
Myth #2: Zyada proposals bhejne se chances barhte hain👉 Reality: Random proposals visibility ko hurt karti hain. Relevance > quantity.
Myth #3: New accounts ke liye Upwork useless hai👉 Reality: New accounts ko bhi chance milta hai, agar profile aur proposals clear problem-solution based hon.
Myth #4: Algorithm sab kuch decide karta hai👉 Reality: Algorithm sirf matching karta hai. Deal human client close karta hai.
What actually works (from what I’m learning):• Clear niche & positioning• Client-centric proposals• Fast, professional communication• Long-term thinking (not quick wins)
Algorithm ko beat karne ka tareeqa algorithm ko samajhna nahi,client ko samajhna hai.
