Hi guys! m kinda lazy to do a daily update so lets just do a weekly one π. ill try to make it as comprehensive and informative as i can as well.
Timeline

14 Oct - 18 Oct : Monday - Friday
6 Days
Acquisition Channels:

Cold Email - 0
Communities - 0
Results (attached proof):
π5 Proposal Views
π3 Open Messages
π°3 Offers
- βUSD$450/week for 3 months: REJECTED - i dont think its worth my time
- β
EURβ¬1.5K for 3 Automation Builds: Accepted - will take me 3-5 hours tops so worth it
- β
USD$4.4K/Month for 3 Months, then $2.5K + % Split for 12 Months from client generated: Accepted - i like the guy, worth the money as well (context: late 50s, trying to build a new agency after selling his company, pitched the guy my whole leadgen system) hes so thankful he referred me to 2 of his colleague & his brother running the sales dept of a 10 figure company, will probably grow into a 5+figure/month deal by the end of it
Total Rev Generated for first week: $6K~
i took the payment off upwork, i dont know might be better to keep them in for the first month i think. ill do it this week
Strategy:
Custom proposals, no template. all different following the same blueprint (but i manually type everything)
1 Loom Video Explaining all the strategy and my pedigree,
attach status delta & past client results,
scroll down to client's page to find people mentioning his name as use that in the first "Hi [Client Name]" to kinda personalize it
now sending 2-3 proposals/day, quantity over quality, took me 1.5 hours
Moving Forward:
- fix my upwork profile π, i dont even have a video or anything (sorry im so lazy to do it guys). my profile picture is so bad as well. i think gaining a few badges like JSS and top talent will get me better click rate. the problem is i have a low CTR but when they view it i got a 60% message rate. so maybe itll help
- start cold emailing, im currently sending for my other offers but no automation/leadgen offer at all. WILL ALLOCATE 2K+email/day from 23rd-24th of October. should bring in good results
- start posting on communities im joining 2 agency communities for $99 & $34 per month each. will join next week as im too busy this week
- start personal branding on youtube 2/post per week and Linkedin 3 Post/Week - grow to 5K Followers/Subscribers (1.5K now)
will try to be consistent in the updates but lets see :)
thanks @Nick for opening my eyes to upwork. insanely high leverage for new offers!
