How to win these jobs

  1. Lead with the closest sample

    Clients judge creative work by what they see first. Put the one or two portfolio pieces that match the request at the top of the proposal, not a link to everything you have made.

  2. Restate the brief's specifics

    Echo the format, size, word count, style or language pair and deadline from the post so the client knows you read it. This week clients in this category asked most for Content Writing, English, Writing.

  3. Fix the scope before you price

    Say how many concepts or drafts and how many revision rounds the price includes, and which files you deliver. Unlimited revisions on a fixed price is where creative jobs go wrong.

  4. Apply while the post is fresh

    A job with a handful of proposals gets a closer read than one with fifty. Watch the category continuously or use alerts, and send a tailored proposal early instead of a generic one late.
