✉️ Winning the First Jobs (Proposals That Get Replies)

Short proposals that answer the client's actual problem, when to bid low (and when never), and the follow-up that wins.

Read the job twice

Answer the question they asked, in the first two lines. Most proposals are copy-pasted; yours mentions their exact problem.

The structure

Line 1: I can do X by Y. Line 2: here's proof. Line 3: one clarifying question. Done. Under 120 words.

Bidding

Start slightly below market to win proof, never at the bottom — bottom attracts the worst clients. Raise after every three 5-star jobs.

Homework

Send five proposals today using the structure.
