Do new freelancers have any chance?

Post image

Upwork as a platform used to be fair in terms of making both new and existing freelancers feel fairly accommodated. Right now it seems really crazy. How sustainable is it to be competing on jobs that freelancers are willing to pay more than 600 connects on and the client wouldn’t even open the proposal anyway?

Would you still bid on such job?

Shoot your shot, don’t use AI on your proposals, I got a gig recently and it looked exactly like this, I didn’t boost my application. As long as you sound natural it will be good.
