-------------------------------------------
Upwork job selection SOP's
1.Thought Process
- Need Leads of businesses or creators who can be our Long term clients
- Asse client ke sath kam kerna he Jo khud bhi earn kare aur apko bhi passe de
- Asse client ke sath kam nai karna jes ka pesa ham nai bha sakte
- Asse cliet ke sath bhi kam nai karna jes he ham passe bna sakte laken we hame passe nai de ga example (Pakistani, Indian, Bangali)
- $0.15 per connect cost parti ha
Insta client hunting:
- Client show his interests on improving his falan service for example comment of that specific niche, check industry Top person (Guru) then we check their ID's and get the idea of his seriousness
- Client identify kr ke uski post pe reply comment on stories for 2 to 3 weeks, then we can pitch keh How I can help him in this, call session pe la kr results ke bat kr ke sales pitch kr den
- Start me Strategy aur kuch cheezen jo foundation bnati hen free me aur apni services sell kr dete hen end me
Tips
- Short term clients are not Preferred but you can have short projects depending upon the situation
- Saste Job Posts pe bid nia karni, saste clients se door rehna ba
- Jes kam me 10-15% bachat ha wo kam he nai krna, Save your time
- specialise in one niche for example video editors of only Models, SEO & only restaurants & Burgess restaurants (this is end goal) start me sab client pakrne hen and me serf ek niche pe rehna ha
- Toxic + Poor Clients: kam acha kro ge to passe don ga warna nai don ga
- Region se bhi faraq nai parta ho sakta ha banda US me beth kr bhi pessa na de ya wo wasse gareeb ho
3. clients Hiring rate
- should be be more than 60-70% because if hiring rate is not good then it ke means client post to boht kr rha ha Laken Hire nai kr rha
- Ghost clients: post kr re gaeb no reply no visible bas gaeb
4. Fileter
Filterme serf un Countries Ko add Karen ge Jen me good high paying jobs hote hen (only rich countries post no waste time on poor country job posts)
5. Not reject jobs based on two red flags (not a number ho sakta ha green flags boht zagada hon to thore boht red flags chal jate hen)
Types of clients on platform:
1. Content creators who are making content just for their audience
2. CEOs who are making content for their company
3. Agencies who are looking to hire for their clients
4. Clients from Poor countries post job but they do not hire or end up hiring a cheap freelancer
Keywords that we gonna use
- Video edit (for video editing, if video editing jobs are not on the platform then we will reload the page and then if no jobs are available we will move to next keyword
- Graphic design, Logo, design
- Ebook
- Digital project management
Pehle ek niche ke keyword Search karen ge agr koi job achi nai ate to next niche ke keyword search karen ge
---------------------------------------------------------------
Types of bidding
- Job post hoye apne foran bid kr de,, connects tracking sheet me ( timing add krni ha keh ketne deer ke ander bid ke ha hamne, ketne connects lage hen)
Sheet me track karna ha keh client ka kea response hota ha aur ek din wait kr ke connects boost kr ke client ko fill uper proposal dekha kr client ka kea response ata ha
Things to check while applying on a job
1. Job posting time ( post kholni nai ha bas upper upper se time dekhna ha sakoon se parhna ha
- Jetni job ko check kr sakte hen, jetna systematicial aur ache tareeqe se job ko check kr sakte hen, ulna jldi hame pta chal jae ga keh pe bid karhi ha muje es pe ya nai karni
example Job posted 1 min ago apne 3 min ke andr bid kr de using tamplets (no waste) to boht zayada chances hen keh client apko reply foran kare ga aur apko hire kr le ga
Maxspeed me bid karni ha to beat othes freelancer
2. Job Heading:
some keywords like LONG TERM OR CASH COW OR YOUTUBE AUTOMATION means they are looking for cheap freelancers for their small channels so we will not be bidding on the projects that are not long lasting and not have a good budget (a few more indicator keywords for cash cow jobs, videos range from 8-12 minutes, they will send the script, they will send or we need to generate Al voice over One more Met cash cow clients use Being able to find source material.
- Skim and scan on job description and check for number with $ sign because that the exact budget client has because, Fixed price budget me mostly exact budget nai hota specfic kam ke leye, Aksar place holders hota ha dekhane ke leye
3. If client post something very specific about his business and work exactly
4. Payment method
agr verified hen to boht achi bat ha, agr hai ha to sakta clict new ho wp check kr len ge ham, aur agr client boht zayada job post ke hen Laken Paymet verified nai ha to matlb ya client hire nai karta ya to wo kam Karwa ke paymt method koi aur use karta ha matlb scamer ha
Jo client bhi off platform Jane bat karta ha Wo hamesh saste, chota, unprofessional aur short term cleint hota ha
5. Clict rating check karnia ha agr new ha to zero rating ho gi matlb kam nai Karwaya khabi bhi, 2,3,4 star rating is red flag
6. Total spent: Jetna zayada client ne spent keya matlb utna bara client ha same wesse he zero ha to new ha aur agr boht purana betha ha ya job post bhi zayada hen aur spent boht kam aht o matlb sasta aur gareeb client ha
7- Location:
Pakistan, India, Bangla etc me koi bare job post nai kr sakta Laken US, UK, Australia me bare Job sakta (we need rich clients)
8- Job type hourly/Fix price ( doesn’t matter)
- Clict dono post kr sakta ha, aur ao usko fix se hourly ya hourly se hour se fix pe bhi Le Ke Jab sakte hen
- Understand your client, cleint nko asani chase zindgi me aur agr wo apko hourly rate pe rakhta ha to usko apke hours count karne pare gen (usko bol sakte hen keh easy raho muje bhi easy rakho fix price pe kam kr lo) average price jo bhi banti ha us pe kam kar lete hen agr koi bara project a jae to ask him for extra $.
9. job expertise level
Agr client entry level la bol kr expert level ke job karwa le, alerting situation, soch smj ke kam karen
10. job duration ( estimited time)\
Longer the job, longer will retain the client, for example ap birthday ke video ke leye bidding kr rhe ho apni full effort put kr rhe ho, aur 2din bad jab uska kam khatm ho jae to phr se ap apni full effort kr rhe ho ese cycle me rahen ge
11. time/ hours required
Per week how many hours required
Not sure, matlb client ko khud nai pta keh ketna kam ha aur ketne deer me khatm ho ga
More hours requuired = more serious client + zayada kam ha
Less then per week = no serious client (but depends on client)
Description se hours match karne hen
Aksar mistake bhi ho sakte kam zayda ha aur hour thore likhe hoye hen
12. Payment verfied
Already discuss above and depends on situation
13. client job post keyword
Ai jobs, low paying jobs, scam jobs hote hen aksar
14. spent
If 0 zero spent may be new client or may be abi tk kam he nai karwya koi
Always check client history
Jobs done but payment outside the upwork (always stay on upwork)
15. job post location
Poor countries always post low paying jobs mostly
Less then 5 proposal means belkul zero proposals
16. Last but not the least Proposals how many persons have bid on the job post, if the job post has no applicants then it might be due to job post is not interesting or the job post is very new, less bids on the job means high chances of our proposal getting viewed, more than 10 proposals make it hard to get a view so we use boosted bids, and we use boosted bids even if the job post is new, we need to secure our position
17. Estimated budget sometimes is a click bait from clients to lure the freelancer into applying on the job post and once they have delivered everything they came to know about the low paying budget of the client, so do not assume that the budget they are writing on their job is accurate, either its low budget or hight budget
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
After checking all these things at one glance from outside the job post and Making sure the job post is good then we will open the job and look for these things
1. Payment method and phone is verified or not ?
2. Reviews and total number of jobs the client has posted and kind of reviews he is getting if the client is getting ghosting reviews then he will ghost you as well, if the client is being too harsh on others then he will be harsh on you as well so make your division very carefully
3. Country, City name, so that you can know what kind of a client this might be poor rich, scam, real
4. Number of jobs posted, hire rate%, if the hire percentage is lower than 60% then they might ghost you, because the lower the hire rate the more chances of you being ghosted by the client because client is not looking serious
5. Total spent, how many hires, how many active jobs
6. Company niche, company size this will help you understand the client more
7. Member since date this will help you to know that client is new on the platform or he is an old user, if he is an old user and posting jobs but payment method is not verified then he might not be a good client because he is user of the platform but have not paid anyone through upwork,
8. Job link, you will copy job link from here to connect tracking sheet
9. Project budget sometimes its accurate sometimes its not, so its just a placeholder budget, real budget is when you close the client sometimes clients budget is $500 but you can close them for higher rate as well, so it depends on your sales skills
10. Level of expertise required by the client entry level intermediate level, expert level
11. Contract to hire opportunity this shows that the job can be long term
12. Project Type: Ongoing project, one time project
13. Job questions we need to save templates of these job post questions and then we will be copy and pasting them, we can't make so many looms every time because we need speed bidding
14. Skills and expertise make sure you have these skills and expertise listed on your profile and make sure you are getting hired for these keyword jobs because when client is searching for profiles there is a small data that upwork shows to client about the freelancer which is how many projects this freelancer has done in the past for this keyword, for example if the client is looking for video editor then upwork will show him that this freelancer has done 40 similar jobs, if we don't rank on these keywords carefully then upwork will not show our clients that we are the experts
15. Preferred qualifications this will tell you about the client
16. Job Success Score At least 90% (this means client is serious about hiring and he is not looking for cheap freelancers that have JSS below 90% (JSS = job success score)
17. English level Fluent (this shows seriousness of client as well)
18. Selected countries if the client is selecting third world countries then he might be looking for cheaper options
----------------------------------------------------
Activity on this job
19 Proposals: Less than 5 (less proposal means new job or bad job, so you need to check it before bidding)
20. Last viewed by client: 35 minutes ago
21. Interviewing: 0 (how many freelancers are being interviewed by client
22. Invites sent 8 (how many invites client has sent).
23. Unanswered invites 8 (how many freelancers have not responded to the invite yet
24. Client Recent History: (number of jobs, pay attention to this number)
25. Jobs in progress is separate thing from jobs that are finished
26. You need to check these things in client history very carefully
27. Job title this will help you to understand the job more, if job requirements are for experts then the job budget should be high, if the client is hiring for bigger jobs but spending very low budget that will show us that this client is not going to pay us good amount
28. Hiring period date date (this will help you how long this job was) the longer the job the more budget client should have spent, if the job is long and budget is low then the client might not be a big client, you need to see the same pattern in other jobs posted by this client, because this is a very small red flag if this happens only in one job, if this red flag is being repeated again and again then its a problem
29. Rating this is important, we need to know what kind of a person our client is, so we will pay close attention to this, if the rating is low then there is a problem but we will go into details and see every review that the client has got
30. Feedback same as rating
31. Client name: this is v important, client name can help you to figure out their city, country their race, their budget, their company. (All of this just because we need more information about the client so that we can make our decision)
32 Job price type fixed/hourly, total budget spent, hiring budget of client
33 Freelancer name country, rates why they hired this freelancer (if the client is hiring from asian or third world countries then there are chances that they are looking for cheaper options, if the client is only hiring foreigners then there are chances that they will not hire us and prioritise some native person we need to use english profiles in such scenarios
34. Freelancer review this shows what kind of experience the freelancer has when working with the client, its important
35. After Checking all the things, then you can read the job post, we are reading job post at last because we do not wanna waste our time in reading long job posts and then rejecting it due to a red flag
36. When you read the job post Check if the client is asking you to take a shortcut and do the job that means they are not very serious about their work for example, some clients hire professional voice over artist, and some clients just want to save money and ask you to make Al voice overs for their long videos, if we are making ads then Al voice over is fine)
37. Now you need to find out the client situation via his job post, we need to know who is the client, what he do, what kind of work he wants us to do and why, does he have an agency, or he is hiring for a client or himself, which niche he is in
38. Pay attention to client words, if the client is using very assertive words then they might be bad client, some clients are very strict with their words, that means they will be strict when they are giving you feedback as well,
39. Check if the client is over demanding in very low budget
40 Job post can help you find out so much about the client
