شرح عملي جدًا لكيفية بناء بروفايل قوي وكتابة عروض تجذب أول عميل على فايفر وأب وورك.

Practical breakdown of what actually makes a proposal get read instead of ignored on these platforms. The profile-building section was solid, though I would have liked more examples outside of design and writing niches.

Sobrang linaw ng paliwanag kung paano gagawa ng profile na hindi basta-basta nawawala sa dami ng ibang freelancer sa Fiverr at Upwork. Yung parte tungkol sa pagsulat ng proposal talaga ang pinakamalaking tulong, kasi doon ako palaging natatalo dati.

J'avais un profil Upwork depuis des mois sans jamais décrocher la moindre mission, et ce cours m'a montré exactement ce qui clochait. La partie sur la rédaction des propositions m'a vraiment ouvert les yeux, j'écrivais des messages beaucoup trop génériques auparavant. J'ai aussi appris à structurer mon profil Fiverr d'une façon qui met en avant mes compétences plutôt que de simplement les lister. Deux semaines après avoir tout refait, j'ai décroché ma première mission payante. Le rythme du cours est agréable, ni trop long ni trop survolé. Franchement content d'avoir enfin des résultats concrets.

Matagal na akong gustong mag-freelance pero lagi akong natatalo sa proposal stage, kaya sobrang nakatulong ang kursong ito. Naturuan ako kung paano gumawa ng malakas na profile na agad pumupukaw ng atensyon ng client. Yung bahagi tungkol sa pagsulat ng panalong proposal ang pinaka-game changer para sa akin, kasi dati puro template lang ako. Sinunod ko ang mga tip at nakuha ko ang unang bayad kong project sa Upwork makalipas lang ang dalawang linggo. Sobrang praktikal at madaling sundan, todo rekomenda ko ito sa mga nagsisimula pa lang.

Kurs pokazuje krok po kroku, jak zbudować profil na Fiverr i Upwork, który faktycznie przyciąga klientów, a nie tylko wygląda ładnie. Najbardziej pomogła mi część o pisaniu propozycji, bo wcześniej moje wiadomości były zbyt ogólne i ginęły w tłumie.

Il corso spiega bene come impostare il profilo su Fiverr e Upwork e come scrivere proposte che si notano davvero. Avrei apprezzato qualche esempio in più per settori diversi dal design grafico, ma nel complesso è stato molto utile.

Endlich ein Kurs, der konkret zeigt, wie man ein überzeugendes Profil auf Fiverr und Upwork aufbaut, statt nur allgemeine Tipps zu geben. Die Beispiele für gute Angebotstexte waren besonders hilfreich, ich habe meine komplett umgeschrieben und direkt mehr Anfragen bekommen.

প্রোফাইল সাজানো আর প্রপোজাল লেখার কৌশল শিখে প্রথম সপ্তাহেই Upwork-এ কাজ পেয়ে গেলাম, দারুণ গাইড।

Fiverr और Upwork पर शुरुआत करना मेरे लिए बहुत मुश्किल लग रहा था, पर इस कोर्स ने सब आसान कर दिया। प्रोफाइल बनाने और जीतने वाला प्रपोजल लिखने के टिप्स इतने काम के थे कि कुछ ही दिनों में मुझे मेरा पहला पेड प्रोजेक्ट मिल गया। नए फ्रीलांसर के लिए यह बेहद उपयोगी गाइड है।
