then you can’t secure clients as a freelancer
especially on Upwork is because your outrage sucks
most of the high level entrepreneurs you were trying to reach a
do not have time to read the life story that you put in your cover letter
b are more likely to respond to someone who takes initiative
and proves their value immediately
instead of sounding like they’re begging for someone to give them money
and c do not have time to click through a bunch of irrelevant portfolio
links that you’ve shared declare
go above and beyond to stand out
especially if you’re a beginner
only share work that is relevant to the specific gig you’re applying to
and if it’s not reconsider whether you should be applying to that gig
and if you do not have portfolio work
we go back to point B which is showing your value up front
create it the worst that can happen is they say no
but you’ve now have an extra thing to your portfolio
so the next gig like that or opportunity like that that comes up
you have something to show for it it’s really that simple
