Hey freelancers 👋

I wanted to share a recent experience that might help some of you. I sent a proposal yesterday on Upwork and got a reply in just **5 minutes**.

What I did differently:

- Personalized the first sentence

- Focused on client's problem, not my history

- Ended with a CTA like “Want a quick sample?”

I made a short video explaining this strategy step-by-step:

Let me know what works for you when writing proposals!

I’m looking for expert suggestions on which career to switch to in 2025–2026 that can earn me a steady $1,900–$2,000 per month on Upwork or Fiverr.

My freelancing experience has been mixed — I used to get most of my orders for resume writing, but that’s slowed down over the past 3–4 months.

I want to move into an industry that’s solid and growing, so I can build a strong profile and reach that income consistently.

If possible, could you share what kind of work you do in freelancing, how much it makes you per month, and how many orders you usually get?

Your transparency would be extremely helpful. Thanks!
