It's relatively simple.


1. Browse the 24-hour list of jobs in your chosen category and filter out 3 jobs that best fit your expertise and experience.


2. Then you go to Saved Jobs, study those three jobs again, and pick the most suitable candidate. That will be the job for which you have the optimal portfolio sample (closely similar to the job you are applying to).


3. Now you get into the client's mind and visualize the cover letter. Remember, cover letters are not about you but about the job.


4. Write the proposal by concisely describing your


solution to the client's problem.


If you did your job right, you should expect a response or, ultimately, direct hiring.


For a novice without job history (ratings), the average conversion rate shouldn't be under 10%. If that's the case; then you've been choosing unfitting jobs or failing to sell your service in a cover letter.


TIP: Once you have written your cover letter, take one step back, read it, and see if you would hire yourself in a snap. If not, it won't work.
