I need a well-researched, easy-to-follow article that shows intermediate freelancers how to spot worthwhile projects and craft proposals that get accepted. Scope • Length: roughly 1,500–2,000 words • Tone: clear, conversational, and actionable • Structure: step-by-step guidance with real-world examples, quick checklists, and practical tips readers can use immediately Key points to cover 1. Where intermediates should search for quality freelance gigs (platforms, niche job boards, networking tactics) 2. How to analyse a posting and decide if it’s worth bidding on 3. Crafting a compelling proposal: opening hook, proof of fit, pricing rationale, call-to-action 4. Common mistakes to avoid as skills and rates grow 5. At least two mini case studies of successful proposals (anonymised) Deliverable • Final article in Google Docs or Word, fully formatted and proof-read, ready for publication. Timeline The finished piece must reach me within 7 days of project start, including one round of revisions if needed. When you apply, highlight your relevant experience writing about freelancing or careers; I’m especially interested in articles that have helped readers land work or improve their pitch success rate.
