Llevaba meses sin recibir respuestas en Upwork y no entendía por qué. Aprendí a redactar propuestas que hablan del cliente y no de mí, y la diferencia fue inmediata. Conseguí mi primer encargo pagado en menos de un mes.

Profilo rifatto da zero e prima proposta vincente su Fiverr in pochi giorni, spiegazioni chiarissime.

Ik wist totaal niet hoe ik moest beginnen op Upwork, maar na deze cursus heb ik mijn profiel volledig omgegooid en eindelijk reageren klanten. Vooral het stuk over voorstellen schrijven was goud waard, want ik kopieerde altijd dezelfde saaie tekst. De voorbeelden van winnende proposals lieten precies zien hoe je het probleem van de klant benoemt in plaats van alleen jezelf op te hemelen. Mijn eerste twee opdrachten op Fiverr kwamen binnen twee weken binnen. Eén ding had ik graag meer gezien: tips over prijszetting voor beginners, dat bleef wat oppervlakkig. Verder een echte aanrader voor wie net start.
