A step-by-step guide to profile basics, Connects, reading job posts, structuring and personalizing proposals, pricing bids, screening questions and polite follow-up — plus 30 fill-in proposal templates, 20 opening lines and a CSV tracker.
A client posting a job may receive many proposals and read only the first lines of most of them.
Generic openers about your years of experience look the same as everyone else's.
This formula keeps it simple: choose jobs you can genuinely do, restate the client's goal, show one relevant example, propose a clear next step and track every bid so you can improve.
Score each job post on fit, clarity and budget before spending Connects.
Hook, understanding, approach, proof, price and a question — in that order.
Use the client's own words and details, not a pasted bio.
Log every proposal and review which job types get replies.
