I have just opened my Freelancer.com account and would like someone who has already been successful here to walk me through the crucial first steps. The immediate priority is polishing my profile so it looks trustworthy and showcases my skills clearly. Once the profile is in good shape, I need you to show me exactly how bidding works on this platform—especially how to craft persuasive proposals that stand out in a crowded project feed. I’m interested in learning why certain phrasing, structure, and pricing strategies win jobs while others don’t, so please be ready to share examples from your own experience and explain the reasoning behind them. Deliverables I’d like to walk away with: • A reviewed and updated profile, including headline, overview, and key portfolio items • Two or three real-world proposal templates I can adapt to different project types • A short, practical checklist I can follow each time I place a bid We can do this through a live screen-share, recorded walkthrough, or any coaching format you find most effective. Clear, actionable advice is what I’m after—I don’t need generic blog articles. If you enjoy mentoring newcomers and have proof your own proposals convert, I’d love to get started right away.
