Most Upwork proposals fail in the first 3 lines.

Not because you're not skilled.
Because you sound like everyone else.

"Dear Hiring Manager, I am very interested..."

Client already skipped you.

I built ProposalCraft to fix this.

[Shehzad @Shehzadcnjd]

@ujangxzy @TheXSami That sounds super useful - creators always struggle with staying consistent.

Is it more for planning ideas / scripting, or for tracking what’s already posted?

I struggle with that myself, would love to see how you structured it.

[Shehzad @Shehzadcnjd]

@ujangxzy @TheXSami Perfect, will do. Love that - swapping feedback is the best way.

What are you building for creators right now? Curious to see it too.

[Shehzad @Shehzadcnjd]

@ujangxzy @TheXSami Appreciate that, honestly that's exactly why I'm keeping ProposalCraft simple.

Can I DM you once the first version is ready?

[Shehzad @Shehzadcnjd]

@ujangxzy @TheXSami Same for most freelancers I talk to.

What breaks first for you in spreadsheets? Is it forgetting to follow up, or losing track of who still owes you money?

I'm making the first version super simple - just those two things.

[Shehzad @Shehzadcnjd]

@TheXSami @ujangxzy Exactly! That's the part most freelancers miss - follow-ups.

Curious, how do you currently track yours? Spreadsheets, Notion, or just from memory?

I'm building this tracker to fix exactly that.

What's the biggest problem on Upwork?

1. Finding the right job
2. Writing a good proposal
3. Getting a reply after applying
4. Low budget clients

For me, it's #2. I can find good jobs, but writing a proposal that actually gets a reply is the hardest part.

What's yours?

@PeikGabriel @oimatrixioYT RightWork sounds really useful for Upwork folks. Finding the right job + writing a good proposal is the hardest part.

Are you focusing more on job search or proposals? I'm building in the same space too!

[Shehzad @Shehzadcnjd]

@hirenthakore Absolutely! Would love to connect and compare notes.

@ZilleHu72333127 615 is real respect. Most quit at 40.

After 615, what 1 change finally got you replies?

I'm building Proposal Craft to solve exactly that.

[Shehzad @Shehzadcnjd]

@Whalberto This is exactly why most proposals fail. They list features, but they never name the cost of waiting.

I learned this the hard way after sending 40 proposals with 0 replies. Now I'm building Proposal Craft to bake this one question into every proposal
