This November is dry tbh. I've gotten just one interview and the dude ghosted me after me answering his questions and sending him samples of previous work done. There's this new scope of potential clients ghosting freelancers.

Tough.

Yeah it is, but I applied for 17 proposals and only 1 hit me back. But yesterday I decided to focus on very niche gigs.

Reach out

So I'm not the only one observing this after all. Tried to apply for a gig posted some 20 minutes earlier, and someone already applied with 60 connects for a job that needed just 6 connects.

Joseph1505:

Reach out

Okay boss

I will send you a PM now

Dollywood:
Tough.

Sorry
You are not alone

I sent you a mail.
Please reply sir.

The competition is really intense now than ever. I've applied to over 100 jobs between August and now and I've only gotten 2 responses, one was an Indian company and they turned out to be scam. I'm glad I discovered before we moved on. The other just asked form my CV then ghosted me, not responding to messages too.

The boosted proposal feature isn't helping as well, I once saw someone apply for a job of 4 connects and boosted their proposal with 40 connects, over 15 proposals in less than 10 minutes.

I've even been seeing boosted proposals with over 100 connects
God help us all

17 proposals in 7 days?
Okay, I actually need to do better.
But then again, the amount of UI/UX jobs being posted right now isn't as much as it used to be. Maybe it's the whole holidays thing for them and things will kick back up in the new year.

You can mix it with other similar roles like Office Presentation Design, Infographics and others. I've learnt to expand my skills into other areas, All the best

45 connect bid for 15$ job this upwork don turn to something else.

Hmm, sometimes it's a game of numbers too. I've applied every strategy I know, even took a day to rewrite my profile overview, I even read my proposals to myself after writing and ask "why don't clients hire me"?

Just imagine, I saw a client post on a Rediit thread that she still takes time to read through the proposals after the boosted ones though, that some freelancers just boost to be on top and not necessarily the best clients are looking for. We will be fine.

Oh you're in UI/UX too? I am too but I want to add Webflow to my skillet in January now, Webflow developers/designers are really in demand too and pay well. I will also suggest you try other platforms asides Upwork, I got my first internship role from LinkedIn in October while just randomly applying one day. So try other platforms too.

I agree, I've started using the bid for projects where I am 100% sure and very qualified

Very valid advice, Upworks should not be the sole place for gigs, even in the slack community. There are slack communities for UI/UX.

Same here. At a point I had the conclusion It was because I run a Nigerian account but there are other Nigerian accounts making it big on upwork.

Maybe buying some reviews will do the trick. I just lost.

The issue is definitely not my proposals because my proposals by God's grace had more than 60% conversion rate on fiverr Buyer Requests.

Yeah it is an option if one is confident of doing the job. The hardest part of Upwork I getting your first few jobs as a beginner. I know a friend who has like 34 on going jobs last time I checked and still get invites all the time, he even declines jobs

Yeah people even get full time roles from Twitter, just a retweet can put you in front of your employer. Social media just doesn't work for me.

Yes, noticed boosting proposals don't work. I saw people on the Upwork Forume claim they get interviews from none boosted proposals.
