I'll just go straight to the point since I actually need to go and get this job done.

When you're applying to jobs on Upwork, play to your strengths. There are no gimmicks involved in this. I've shared the job I applied to and the cover letter I used to land the job. Maybe it would help someone.

Here's how I did it:

>> I talked about the company and the person behind the job post. Show some emotional intelligence; you're talking to another human being. I got the information about what kind of company he was by looking at what he had hired people for in the past

>> I talked a bit about my writing process. I'm telling him, hey, I'm not a complete JJC in this. I've done this before.

>> I addressed the rates. He mentioned this in his job post

>> I showed evidence. Linked to my portfolio.

>> CTA. I told him we could get on a call to discuss more about his project.

And that's all there is to it.

Good luck, guys.



P. S. I'm Top-Rated on Upwork so maybe that played a role in this, but I promise I've only completed nine jobs on the platform.
