I will not keep anything um I won't keep anything away from you guys. I'm going to be very very hoping If you guys are still here me please Um give it terms up or just wrap some emoji Perfect perfect. All right cool So the first thing I'm going to be saying is Um starting out as a freelancer. There's a one two you have Right, they have to utilize Right want to know nobody really talks about people talk about it for Um people think it's It's not as important as figuring out tricks tips and tricks But the foundation of Of um your career as a freelancer is in your skill That's one thing I want everyone to understand If you get the greatest client and you have the shittier skill You would lose that client, right Now your skill doesn't have to be um particularly The hardcore skills. I mean for instance as a writer the skill doesn't have to be you know it out to write excel at the right It could be very extremely good communication However your writing skills should not be terrible as well. We should also have those soft skills figured out So first of all figure out your skill. I'll tell you story When I started out I wasn't Writing on North work. I was writing for all that freelancers that had Uproar backgrounds I had friends a couple of guys that would just send me a message you can you write this article Kind of opposed to say opposed to that and I mean I said I was in D2 sheet evil with time I go through good at it and at some point I figured that if People need to let me this much to get their clients job done then it means There's nothing stopping me from trying to get the clients So at that point I already knew I had a seal. I had the contents skill. I could write Extremely engaging us if we use I could write extremely converting us close out wrong on Google Another double I did not know to get the clients So remember this your skill is the foundation of the career of the freelance right All right cool. So moving on Let me just say a little bit of You know share call it in motivation our story Right what is the true story right how I started out with first thing I did Um when I started out supposed to Get gigs for my friends right dead gigs from people around But when I was getting those gigs. I didn't know how they last up. I had No proper gadgets. I didn't have a very good one. Right Um at the time I had to borrow my friends laptop Was living next to me. I would go meeting ask for his laptop. Sometimes you have something to be reluctant for such a shadowy time that I was just going to complete the project and so sometimes and that's what's meant to be a fast write-up because Sometimes the only time that I'll have to use this laptop in the night and power And then I'll have like a three thousand words Use to write and I have to it's down to that one hour. I think So it will be very very um interesting time Uh Later on I got a laptop. I was gifted one Um it was shiba. I wish I had I wish I could share again the pictures It's it's in my heart right now. I've not disposed because it's gonna say it's too Consent to tell the story for Um, it's it's what it's what shiba laptop are used for about In the onion out It goes to your points now when I was doing the laptop. I have to I don't know if you're from an African owned Yeah, you know what they call omoroo You know omoroo right? It's like this ticket you should turn Um swalloo like um I get the arm or pound your arm or that and all those other Group of swallies It goes to your point that I had to use that omoroo It's my laptop. So it picks up Very interesting. Never knew what gonna work. It was out of frustration. One random day Like it's the laptop and then it turned on but what it's running on before and then that became the new strategy of turning on my laptop I'll take the omoroo and put it Five times ten times before it turns on and then when it turns on I Go ahead to welcome my clients projects thinking about for now There's a risky because most of my projects you know are backups and I would have to divide them ASAP so I'll be trusting the model world I say I've done one of them in my house to share because it was telling me stories um So at the time what I could move on to was um Was the fact that I believe that if I did everything right in terms of building my skill I'll get to point to where um I would be able to combat clients right So now the skill is out of it for now, right? Let's talk about something else that nobody talks about In North and the Philancin community right we have a lot of rules I mean I mean mixed-today lights introduced me as my own bushel But one thing that nobody speaks about is how much of charm and error we actually do before we figure out what exactly The direction of work should be I have random conversations with my friends right um have a community of Lots of the related community or something I built Boy I am privileged to have a community of top um freelancers They speak to every now and day and We always bring storm strategies we bring storm things that work things. I don't work things that could work and Get try and error that would you know we're um put in place right mix us to get excellence results, right? So when I start announce is always a lot of try and error there I encourage try and error you might not be in lots of try and error We're starting up because try and error burns Resources right so that mean doing a starting else. They don't have enough money to spawn that connects to be trying and In North and trying For one thing to always is that have An obligation For try and error always have that's a problem in Book you read any resource you you get always have a mind of you on one side to try something Um to try something different or try to see if something works, right? Because you never know to you try right cool. So um The third thing I'm going to do right now is I'm going to be drawing the blueprint. It was something I did When I was passing out to get to the first time key I had to draw consciously draw your blueprints I mean we know see this in my Toshiba laptop that you don't know what it's I had a blueprint of the part I wanted to follow To get specific type of results, right? Now tell you what the blueprint was I was just not as a new writer I didn't have Before work, right? I mean I had zero proof of all I just had Joe they did for a couple of my guys that were Started along among them was cut out across different issues Medical finance Uh, sometimes just random books on the read sometimes that's put on entertainment And so the problem was it looked like I had you know book us like I had no Right But then One thing that you should always does a few notes of starting out is regardless of whatever it looks like Draw consciously draw your own blueprints, right? So in your mind you know, you have to wear a blueprints Now I'll give you an idea of what you think was Now I did not have enough for work like I said earlier Um, though I had I was fortunate my dad used to work with Children so I was fortunate to have a couple of newsletters I'm new to people as rather in my house And so I'll pick up the news papers and I'll go to section on those news papers News papers are really very consistent to the section of the hard to do out the entertainment section The now the due to section Um this book section and then I'll go to pick up these newsletters and I would type the The contents of the news papers, right? I'll type it on my laptop. I now saved a file and stayed on that portfolio And that's what I did for my very first portfolio notebook guys. I did not have experience at this time What I saw on the newspaper and put it there, right? And then I said I'm flying Aggressive before jobs on for trading now. I'll be very I'm a very practical there So from this that I'm seeing right now might not be the video Especially when it comes to aggressive their client for me. It's why because now you have to be more careful Now it's more expensive to apply for jobs on offer But then I will aggressively But I'll go see the account apply for For jobs on offer. I remember I took it known for my mom In don't know six thousand there The number was to buy connect and you need to apply for jobs and the world. I mean it turned out great 6,000 and then went to the doctor. I think six It's case in this problem something maybe even maybe more than maybe like What's he came out maybe even more not sure about I mean six kids was a lot then for me or for me I mean we have some which guys on this on this space for me sister was not then Also what I did was that I Do a blueprint right? I had I got my portfolio all at the package and then I compiled some articles from the people I was working with and I would not Don't play the importance of actually working with other people that I miss face and that's why anytime I meet in new freelancers I tell you just starting out find other people that's gone ahead right and try to work for them Work with them. I don't like using work and then work with them and in the nature of Job requests are flying send outside Let me wind you know a couple of those jobs you would be very confident that you can actually do it. You can actually stand on right now Um One more thing I would say is um you should observe what other people are doing right Be very very close and attentive observer Um what I mean is If you're on this call right now I expect you to have stocked the couple of us here or like up to the couple of questions here, you know like Just probably check our pages already and just like I was very worried doing right and you think why because you get a lot of ideas you get a lot Um Insights right when you observe people especially people that where you want to be right so when you observe there observe carefully don't just Look at scroll that's not really that's not the observation I'm talking about. I mean of their look Pro and taking notes right because we forget things you don't take notes also take notes of things that Stand out from these people and Try to see how you can replicate what you have I'm not saying you replicate you can replicate their results right or you can try to replicate the things that you can replicate for instance um You can build up your portfolio right you can have a very good optimized profile you can have um you can pick up a course somewhere against the position of putting on your own for profiles You can do all of that for six times but Proper structural would get you the results that last the blueprint I'm talking about I hit for Another major thing actually when you start when you start in our tracks and then you are playing for games There's so many rules about there's so many rules that govern our plans for using our product Kind of save this game right away Because I only have um 30 minutes or I'll say That's when you follow I hope this speaker here is gonna speak about The rules that govern up time for weeks and all for both One major thing you should not um you should always keep in mind is that when you get your clients your first client and I'm not okay I didn't hear how much that clients is paying you I mean It could be paying you $1.2 We've seen one for five minutes actually didn't appear It's the clients asking The clients are someone that would change their life regardless of whatever me sleep is awful Like I guess what probably be platform And Platforms usually have rules that govern day so unlike you're unlike um Maybe running it your freelance career just like off the website so like off um Or from Opel TV game if I first one game if I so a lot of things there are Um If you're not careful 17 things would go to advantage or 17 things would Um Sorry 17 will not go for your advantage or 17 will go for you and let me explain what I mean If you start out on all projects and for We gave bud with you Uh a bud with them from a client I mean your first client maybe the client's expensive or maybe you don't try You don't try hard enough to satisfy the client and they buy waiting Yes, they get $2.5 They're four stars It's because Pretty difficult So you get the buff from that because you're just starting out I mean you could have the opportunity to get more deals that would be your first start waiting or or that would um Probably like help you out for them We're more difficult when you start out and start out but So it's very important that we first client you On the promise and then you over the river There was something nice to do that So so we're talking practical stuff Um I would get a project from that client And at the time I wasn't really comfortable I was still confident in my skill and you that you get a job well But I was overly confident in my skill so I'll get the client on one upper And Once I'm done with the job First of all I'm sure that I meet up with the deadlines I'm very important But when I'm done with the job Right I'll send another document So at the right Most of us work with Google documents, WordPress Yeah, I think Google documents on WordPress or maybe Microsoft Word And all of that So why you used to do Den That send the Microsoft Word Version of my work Send the PDF version of my work Send It random document that suggests improvement I mean like the direction that the work on Google that would use results for the business of For clients And then I'll send another document that we would my workflow So like Um What's I did on each date I was working it was quite the necessary about trying to Do too much then so that I think it would be good for you I was just starting out so I'll see do too much So um And then when if I deliver If for any reason I deliver my job in the days I'll send an appology letter Especially a folder that I find by any The client Making clients for giving me For my poor delivery I mean so for my little delivery So this was structuring the implementers that actually helped me a lot. I think when I started out, I did not get anything less than a five-star one too. Probably my, I'm not sure enough of. I knew it took a while, but probably maybe 4.2 or 4.3. I think over the clients that didn't want to pay me because the crypto markets went on the tailspin. And at the time, I already wanted to create a crypto project. So we didn't want to pay me. We had from back on foot or still very respectful. I think I was not jumping across 4.2 star. But yeah, over coming, so on the promise and over to give us insurance. Insurance means all due respect and should I get your clients asked that's what I'm trying to see it. Yeah, so what's next? Another thing that most people would not tell you in freelancing is the earlier you treat freelancing as a job. The better for you. So because of the term, you're a lot of people. A lot of people freelance the wrong way. So they don't structure their time. They don't structure their clients acquisition strategies. I don't structure their quality as sure as strategic. I need you guys to treat freelancing as a business, as a job. We'll go very early in the morning, get on your ground. Get on top of that. I have the jobs, responsibilities as soon as you can. Check your job over and over. Ask for repair. Try to get. So yeah, quick tip. Something just came to my mind right. A lot of people will not tell you some of this. As much as you can try to connect with your clients in every way possible. I'm not telling you to take the contract outside of fees. Don't do that because it's against the TOS, right? We've worked. Try to connect to your client. I mean because it's your client. We can connect with you anyway. So you can connect with him on LinkedIn, email, Facebook, Twitter. It really helps because I've heard from the fact that you're using your upwork profile. You should be building your personal burn on the side. Try. Does it. Quick tip for you guys. You do personal burn on the side. Please. But upwork is largely gamified. And so sometimes you might forget to do things that would help you. Those strengthening you as an upwork freelancer and as a freelancer as a whole. Right. So last and last and last and last. That's not what I say is. Your community. It's very important. This right here that we have. Here is this kind of is a comment. Obviously the community event. But when I mean your community is very important. I want you to observe something. Okay. If I could have the privilege to ask. I'm just going to have a couple of people here that I know. Yeah, I'll just ask if you can. The light and final touch. Quick question guys. When you were starting out today. When you were growing before you'd go your first decade. Was it not really helpful when you had people that's where around it. I could ask quick questions like a group chat or something. I really hope just see just see quick. Yes, I know just just knew was that. Yes, yes, I'm a mess. Damien. I was even about to comment on that like you know like a mentor helps. Fast track the whole process. You know, and like having a community. Would have really helped. But like a lot of us started in the shadows. So yes, it was like a love trial and error. Yeah, yeah, final touch about you bro. My. My case was different. I didn't have any mentor. But I. I like I did a lot of research. I watched a lot. I watched a lot of videos from talk and I was like Fisher. Remote Oliver and the rest. So well, that's that's mentorship right. But I didn't have anyone on one. It was just mostly try and error doing research here and there. But they're watching a lot of videos from this guy's and doing properly. Yeah, yeah. So yeah, yeah. Thanks guys. Honestly, thanks. Thanks so much. So yeah, just like. The light said I find out what said right. There is no way you'd want to succeed. You know, go out of your way right. To research to ask questions right. I mean, final touch, my not a party direct community boy had. A question question. I'm doing. He will ask questions to get answers to his questions online. Nobody has the community picture as well. There are lots of questions and yeah. There are answers already to those questions. They could just check out. It's very important, however, to. Take advantage of any chance you have to have a community or mentorship. and the goal for the communities to help newbies that are just starting out to have a direction, right? Because honestly, there are so many things that could be difficult for you as a newbie example. If you are among people that have done this before or people that are like very close to where you are, you would be able to scale faster. When I was starting out having friends, right? That really helped me a lot. We discussed things that we had to do to scale. I had people that were working with at the time, they were top earners and all that. And so I would chip in questions. So I think I would like to think I was in a great job for them. So I would chip in questions to ask about how they did that and then they would help me with answers or help me figure out the process and all of that. That was really helpful for me. I can't lie to you. So yeah, I guess that's all I have to say for now. Thanks guys. Is there right here? There are you. There are you here? I think it's probably a nest of problem. If there's anyone who had a question for me, I don't know if I'm able to take questions now or I mean, I can't hear from the lights. I can't get this opportunity to. Yeah, people are asking the question. Do you have a question? Oh, yes. Oh, yes. One or one or course. So just because I'm excess. So I guess maybe I should just consider you. Because yeah, 30 30 minutes. Okay, so thank you. I'm in Lola. You said a lot of things. You talked about your experience, how you started, how... Okay, he's back. You like that? Are you here? Yeah, I can hear you. He's broken. Okay, sorry. I think it's the network. Can I ask? Can I ask? It's very nice. All right. Yeah, I was hearing you guys, but I don't know why you're hearing me. Where you're talking about me having to go and request. Anyway, thank you very much, Mr. Dami. That was amazing. From fact, you guys, I knew Mr. Dami from... ...would've asked this in fact, or else it's in above-a-mill oil university. So hey, and you guys can tell from his voice, he's a big man. When he reached me and talking. They don't rush. They talk calmly, you know, and that's so... From what Mr. Dami said, you know, a lot of us had to figure out these things, like through trial and error. It's written, trying 100 possible different things, you know, figuring things out. Just, you know, if we all had the kind of mentors that you have on the space, things would have moved way faster than the actual number four as well. Yeah, so that's what the community does for you. And we appreciate you a lot, Mr. Dami. Please, I even want to talk to you. Tott, please, you guys, you have to account now, you know, and follow him so that you can... You don't miss any of his tips and his insights that he drops from time to time. Please, guys, let's do that. Thank you very much once again, Mr. Dami. We appreciate your time, and it's a honor to have you here. Next, I think we'll be taking Mr. Favour. Mr. Favour, you soof. The big OPPOC man. Mr. Favour, you have the floor. Thank you very much. All right. Good evening, everyone. I hope everybody can hear me. If you can hear me, please, let me know. Hope there's no background noise. All right. Cool. So I have less than 30 minutes. So just before you go to the light, are we supposed to take questions in our session or when everybody's going to take questions generally? I think it would be better if we took questions like after the... All right, everyone is all right. All right, it's very cool. So I'm just going to talk about how I started an OPPOC and then give this specific insight that I think can help you win an OPPOC. When I spoke with the lights and said, I need to expand. I got to have a how to go from zero to your first 10 key on OPPOC. So a quick background. I own OPPOC. I started as a content writer. Slowly evolved into content marketing. And now I'm in product marketing. I started an OPPOC in 2018. So pretty much on my history. I was in university. Sorry mechanical engineering. And then I realized it just approached me that I wasn't in good student and an extra year. I didn't know anybody. There was no... I didn't know anybody that helped me get a job because when I wanted to do I didn't get anybody to... to give me IT placements. Right? And if IT placements doesn't require your grit, I couldn't get placements. How much more when I want to actually get a job which is much more competitive because at that point I think my GCDPA was was less than 2.0. Right? It was 1.9 or 2.0 something. So I was at that point I was really really scared. So at that point I had an interest in... I used to read a lot. I had a big passing interest in marketing. Backstreet, my mom was involved with one of these MLLA... Not Ponzi. One of these MLLA where you refit people and sell products. So they needed somebody to help them on Facebook ads because Facebook was blocking their account with their ad guys. And so she just recommended me that I think my son can figure it out. So I figured it out. I thought I'd run an ad. I didn't know what I was doing. I thought I'd press something and then people would land in a WhatsApp group. And so I grew interested in the idea of decided writing. I started writing in 2018. I started writing as a content writer. I invited my first content writer in the... I was getting paid 1.9 per word. I got to think of them but I was in my final year then. So I continued writing for Nigerians and I had a book account on the side because most of my clients then were Nigerians that got jobs from upwork and then outsource it. That was basically how I was living. So towards the end of 2020... I just decided that I wasn't going to work with Nigerians anymore. I was going to take my upwork account seriously. I had made some money on upwork. I remember my first client on upwork was with my last connect. One is with my last connect. So when you sign up on upwork I think upwork used to give you 8-sec connect I think. But in 2019, if I'm not mistaken, for this area that I've been on upwork I think it used to be 8-sec connect then. So I decided to apply for jobs and then I applied with the last last three or four projects that I had. And I got the job. I did the job well because the guy was really good right for the golf industrial. The normal thing that Nigerians do, I was like, oh I can't write. I can't write. Then I wrote it and it wasn't that great. I know the bodygallos pictures is also not giving me a body. It was like, oh I'm going to give you a good review. But I'm going to tell you this privately when you want to write, you know how to do research. I don't know. So you give me all of this point that I took it to heart. And then thankfully from the morning that it came and he was 20 to the last time, I used all of them when it was by connect. And I was getting more jobs. So that's how I started. I started that's how I started up in upwork and I started to agree from the 2020. So I'm going to be sharing with you. That's this dimension. I'm going to be sharing a couple of things that worked with me, worked for me on my journey of way from zero to 10k. The first thing that I would see is that you have to understand the platform itself. Right, upwork has an algorithm, right? Just like every other platform like TikTok, Qitalia, my algorithm, and the things that you would do that would make you skill. Similarly on upwork, you have to understand the algorithm. So the job of the upwork algorithm is to match bias. That is people that have jobs to give out with money to sell us. People that you'd like you to have skills. So upwork makes money when they can match bias to sell out. So the more jobs you can do, the more clients can trust you and give you work. The better it is for upwork. So the way you do that is by seeking to find that you have a limit on your way to work. So the first thing is that you're just starting out of an upwork, make sure that your profile is optimized. I think upwork has a bar. What you feel in different parts of your account, you get shown different percentages, or 10% 50% 100%, try and make sure that you have a nice picture, make sure that your bio app value communicates what you do. Don't do the, I do exercise it, communicate keywords. For example, if you're into content marketing, let your profile show content marketing. If you do it with specific industry, let it show up then. One of these things looks, this sounds simple, this sounds obvious, but you'd be surprised at how many people do not do the same. So that's the first thing. The second thing is that you want to optimize your profile, in your profile description. You want the profile to be amazing. Over the last week, I think I've gotten two people that are reached out to me just because of my profile. I've gotten $500, $700, $2000 jobs, because people just saw my profile and it spoke to them. So the criteria for building the perfect profile is to ask yourself, am I communicating that I understand what this client is going through? You don't want to talk about yourself, you want to talk about the problem that the client is facing. What problem you solve? If I content marketing, write your content in your way that I show that you understand, content marketing, understand the problem that your client is facing. Very important. Again, all of these things are very simple, what they are watching. So what I used to do back then, when there was no AI, I would look for our search on open, I would look for the top three to five people in every niche. For example, if I was doing content writing, I would search for other content writing freelancers, those that are arranged above 10 key, if you are still trying to get them, those are 10 double 10 key that are top rated or top rated plus. And they are getting a lot of jobs. You want to look at how they structured their, you want to look at the structure, their profile, what keywords they use and their profile, how they write out their profile description, what are the words that they used, all of those things. Very important to take them, because when the client comes and says, wait, I leave a content market, the algorithm is going to look at your profile, to look at if you have those keywords and make sure that they match you. So it's important that you have those keywords. So the tools that you use, the specific deliverables that you deliver, you want to mention them, the things, the specific things, the deliverables you deliver, the tools you're all obviously going to make sure that they are reflected on your profile, and it makes sense. Thankfully, with AI, it's pretty easy. You can just create three to five profile, ask AI tools to analyze them, figure out what works, and then ask you to reproduce a similar one for you. Obviously, you don't want to lie, but you want to describe your expertise in the best way possible. So that's the first step, optimize your profile. Once you optimize, you know that your profile is optimized when people start messaging you. So the first thing is to optimize your profile. The second thing is once your profile is optimized, you want to start looking for jobs. When you're starting out that's the first thing, start looking for jobs. When you're looking for jobs, you want to make sure that you're looking for jobs that you know you can't do. Don't go for jobs that just have been money, because you like the money. Look for jobs that you can't do. Look for jobs that you actually have, experience or expertise gain. Very, very important. And then you see 1000 upwork. I think they work a lot. So for example, when I'm applying for jobs, I don't apply for jobs that's, what I'm saying is I'm already applied for. I don't apply for jobs which would have been a payment on verified, because there's a large percent chance that they're not going to be used to pay you. Personally, I always reduce out. So make sure that you're applying in the right kind of jobs. Make sure that's and then the most important part. The part that I think carries the most important is your proposal. When I'm applying for jobs. And I think my coach, what you think that is here. So I want to talk about the things that you need to do inside of work itself. You know, talk about things that you need to do outside of work. So inside of work, you're already a proposal. Now like I always say, when you're right seeing it propose out to your job, your goal is not to get the job. Your goal is to get an interview. So I need to have you with any kind of response to you. Right. So when you're applying for a job, a lot of people, a lot of times, we are tended to talk about how well you will do the job. What you need to optimize for is can I get this client after they want to talk to me? Because the truth is, chances I am going to convince a customer to just see your proposal and send the contract immediately. It is very, very well. I've only had it happen twice in my entire six-year-old career. So the most important thing is get them to reach out to you to ask questions. Right. So, you know, and where I explained that on my, for this one, we have followed me. I explained that yesterday on my any tweets, well, basically, the long and short of it is when you get your client to trust you. Once you're trying to see your content and go, okay, I think this question knows what I'm going to. I think they understand the problem I'm facing and I think they have, they know how to solve this problem and they have solved it before. So just add it three minutes. They get their trust. Show them that they are. They are experts. You know how to do this thing and show them you have done it before. Nobody, most times, people don't want to give the new business because they are scared. I mean, and that makes sense. If I am going to ask an politician to call my don't want an politician that is just letting you work. If I go and quote my head, I don't want their friends to support my hair. I want the boss to call my hair. So that's much around. So even if they are just starting out on the off-road, even if they are on zero, I usually do not recommend that the politician are the complete new people. What I typically tell people to do if you are starting out on off-road at zero level, like you just create your account. Just let the kind position yourself as I've been doing this thing for a while, I just joined off-road. Right? So your profile needs to see or your proposal needs to see that I've done this before, I haven't experienced with this. Right? I know how to do this and I've done this for this particular friend before. I just joined off-road. So that they know that they are not the complete new people in the skill. They are just the new people on off-road. So that's one thing that I think works a lot. And one of those strategies that I learned very early when I started on off-road, I mean, I didn't really have most of the resources that we have now. I didn't figure out things out. But I remember reading one white sketch what is his name now. Reading is, we had this strategy. Where if you was going to apply for a job, even if you didn't have any portfolio items, you have not done the job before, you just go to Google Docs and make it quick to your phone. Right? So for example, you are right. So that's when I'm applying for content-rising jobs. If the job is in, let's say, the medical niche, I would just go on my Google Docs and write a 500-word, a 300-word, a 300-word medical blog post and see, you know, after all this before, they are not going to ask where it's posted. Right? Of course, if you can post the live link, that's great. But if not, you just want to have something that I should that I can do, you don't need to do this before. Which is where personal project is coming. And I'm going to talk about that. When I talk about what she needs to do outside of work. Well, that's where personal project, the sort of coming, because they help you hone your skill and they also help you build a trail of how you can share that you've done this work before. So that's the second thing. And we want to share that how you do it. So when you're writing your proposal, by the way, if you know fully, I'm planning to drop a template of how I structure my proposal. If you know fully, be fully before that. But the basic idea is that you want to talk about, when you're proposing, when you want to talk about the actually read the proposal, because you'll be surprised that a lot of people use AI tools to apply for jobs. And yeah, the application is complete rubbish. The application is complete rubbish. So you want to show them that you actually see the jobs. What I typically do is, some way my proposal, either the second or the third, and I'll say, I can see that you're looking for eggs and still for they're looking for. So that they know that I can already drop which is not a copy or paste response. That's the next thing. Then after that, you describe the problem that the client is having. So I can see that you're looking for somebody that can help you do this. It looks like or I've seen this problem before. This is the problem that you're facing. It's at the consequences of the problem. So this is the problem. I've seen the consequences of the problem. But here's what you do in real life. Here's the thing that you do in real life. Because again, what you're trying to see, you have an expert. You don't know the client to see you as a beginner. Even if all you are doing is just as if you're here, you have a system. You want to show that you know something about the VIA process. They are being an assistant that they haven't talked about. They show something that shows, you know what you're talking about. And you talk about the steps that you need to take. In all these points, you're not telling them, I've done this for five years. They don't care. I've done this for 20 years. You don't care. What do you care about is, do you know my problem? And can you solve it? So that's how you view that. You're fulfilling. I'm sorry, your proposal. You write the steps to show that these are the things that you need to do. And then talk about how you've done it before. So at this point, you are explaining, I know these things because I've done this thing before. So when you talk about where you're writing an article, you know that this is how to be an article. Because this is how I wrote this particular article. And you got this result. Right? So you show your credibility that you've done this before. And then you now provide proofs. Right? You want to provide proof. So if you are going to link an article, link to websites, link a lume video from your client, you know, talking about how much we are what you're doing. Just provide something that shows that you are not talking out of your ass. You are talking about doing that. And then you send your proposal. Now, when you do that, you should start getting your proposal. It's like getting you the first step. And you're going to have your proposal should be getting viewed. Once your proposal is like getting viewed, it means that people are clicking it. Because when you apply for jobs, you are only at least, and only the first, I think the first two lines of your proposal shows. So if people are clicking your proposal, it means that you are writing something that traps in them. And if you keep doing that, you will get people interviewing with you. Now, I forgot to add this part. When you are applying for a job, I usually recommend that you try to get them to jump on an interview with you. No matter how well you write, there's just an energy day. community 10 and 19. So always try to get the client to come into it. 10 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes of view. So just go to the demo. I would like to have it. It's a quick call where I will show you X-Rise Z, where I will mention X-Rise Z or just to know more about what you're trying to solve. That's usually would get the client to reply. If the value of a project is getting to plan, say okay, if you let us talk, or you can ask them a question. I've done this before. Here's the specific question that I have that. I have Mickey, for example, you can be like when you post your content, you also share the link, or when you post your content, what else do you do? Is it how you distribute it? Something that shows that you're thinking outside the box, just like the previous under the previous speaker mentioned. Something that shows that you're thinking outside the box. Follow that in your proposal. So once you do that, you should start getting your proposal. I should start getting you now. Let's go to interviews. I'm going to rush around because I have less than 10 minutes left. So you want to get on interviews. When you jump on an interview with the client, obviously, obvious dress well, look like what you look like in your profile picture, make sure that there's no noise in your environment. Follow this thing that very, very minor, but this certain tool, right? If you know you're going to have an interview, figure out if you've been in a place where there's no noise, there's good lighting, put on your video. All of those things help you trust. Get on the call with the client. Usually tell you tell me about yourself and all those things. You know, by one trap, you should not point in when you are on a call in that you don't want to talk too much at first. So you jump on a call with the client, you introduce yourself, they ask you, okay, here is what I want to know about. She just like the normal job interview. You're going to tell them your background, the things you've done. Then immediately after that, try what to ask in them with question. If you talk too much about yourself, you can't lose your client. You can't lose your client. So the first thing you want to do is you want to get them to tell you their problems. You get them to sell their cells to you, oh, this is the problem that we're having. So we're trying to achieve and listening, ask for more questions. When you're asking for more questions, I don't know why, but psychologically, it makes the client think that you know what they are talking about. Think of it when you're in a doctor's office, right? If you go to a doctor's office and the doctor, you're still talking to working to working. Even though you are convinced that the doctor is brilliant, you are not convinced that the doctor knows your specific symptoms. When the doctor asks you, what's wrong with you? Oh, tell me more about that. It's just more than that. This guy is getting what I'm telling him. So you want to bring that vibe to the interview. Let the client talk a lot. They start giving solutions. This particular problem, I've seen it before, I've heard about it before. Here's how you can solve it. Here's how I would solve this problem. Here's the result you can expect to get. Basically, showcase your expertise. Show kids what you know how to do. Know how to talk. Once you've done all of that, now tell them, and this is probably the biggest secret. Let them know that immediately I've got the call, you're going to send them a proposal, right? You're going to send them a proposal because you don't want to leave the next step up to the client. They are busy, they are busy, they are busy, they are busy, so what I really end it with is, you know, after this call, everything that we have discussed, I will come up with a proposal working together would look like. I can use the advisors to do that in five minutes. So, based on this call, here's what I think you should try. Here's what my proposal is and here's how much I would charge, right? Most of the time you can say, yes, that's fine. And you send that. Once you send that, the client has something that they can see, think about and send you and offer. Six times out of ten, you do get and offer, right? You don't want to just finish the call, and I'll wait for the client to reach out to you. Rather, it's better you have a proposal. Again, yeah, I choose you to do all of this. I will be explaining that. I'm writing a trailer that tonight. You can follow me to get that book. That's basically how it works. So, that's my advice for how you go from just joining Op-Aug to getting your first few jobs on Op-Aug. Now, of course, the part of the app is people connect, they have to apply for jobs, it does not negotiate. Unfortunately, that's how Op-Aug has become. We just have to use connected jobs. So, let me talk a little bit about how to now group from Zerg's. Thank you. So, you've got your first few jobs, right? Hopefully, you've got me a few reviews on that you're bailed, you've got your job success for. The way you win on Op-Aug is it long-term jobs. I cannot stress this enough. The way you win on Op-Aug is with long-term jobs. We don't want to really get it and jump in from one job to the other. So, the bad, the one that has made me the most money on Op-Aug, I just read it for minimum of six to twelve months. And even Op-Aug wants you to work for a long time with the client because when you're working with the client, I get to pay it every week or every month. Op-Aug is making money every week or every month. That's why becoming so pretty close with your client, you have a long-term client, you have a large contract. So, you need to optimize for those things. And to do that, you need something called client's retention. I learned that from my coach, Torbo, and I also learned that from Coach Benda. About how to retain clients, you need to make sure that there's ongoing work. So, whenever you solve a problem for the client, try and help sell them. Oh, you're writing content for them. Op-Aug to help them also turn that content into a needing post. Op-Aug to turn it into a transaction. Op-Aug to turn it into a video script for YouTube, all of these kinds of things. So that they keep you on for a long time. Also, make sure that we are showing you always active. You're always reaching out to the client. Don't let it be that the client is always the one reaching out to ask questions. Be transparent, be proactive. You are doing a job. For example, client is a job with most sticky week. There's only for each week until the 7 before you send the job. The one, here's what I've done, here's what I've researched, here's what I've found. The three, oh, I'm still working on the project. Here's what I've done so far. You want to take a look. All of these things help you trust such that the clients you need to work for a long time. Everybody that I know that, so I've seen that, so I've seen an off-work, half clients that they've worked with for at least a year. One of my goals, or one of the things I've helped with an off-work was I've worked with clients for a long time. My biggest contract on off-work that made me get so pretty close, I was, I was collecting, I was collecting, I was making the $400, $700 last per week. That was going to be $21. I worked with the clients for I think close to two years before they contract ended. And the end of it, because the client needed to pay about a couple of something, and all that stuff, issues. Not that we had a problem. So you want to work long-term with clients. After working with the client, last year, they've been working together today, which also means that you want to prioritize clients that have a business and not clients that have agents that are re-outsocing work. I don't have time to talk about how to find out, of course, my time is almost over. But that's another thing. Make sure that you position yourself for long-term work. Be consistent. Sure for your clients to get long-term work. And I think that would help you in network. Like Thomas Bigger said, try and get your clients to connect with you on LinkedIn. Try and get them to start talking to you outside of what's so that you don't use off-work every day. So try to get them to communicate with you. And thankfully, once you sign the contract, you can always stop their clients outside of work. Also, build your niche of people that are freelancers. The client I talked about, that was $187,000 every week. They needed a designer. I brought my friend on. We both made upwards of $60,000 from that contract. So having communities of places where they are, or that freelancers are not doing without people. For example, I had an interview earlier today. They needed someone to run, I don't know. I just made my own ads. I need a video editor. I knew somebody that would run a video editor. I do the video editing work. So I can do that for the job involved and also for just to put my friends on. That is how you become indispensable to the clients, to the point where they are working with you for a year or more. So that's the other thing you should do outside of work. What do you mean? What do you mean? Do they want to point out for beauty community, work with people, make sure that you're providing, again, you're very optimized. You can't ask for reviews straightforward. You can up-walk rounds on your art scheme for five-star reviews. But please, since you're going to be talking with your client outside of work, you can always ask those five-star reviews. Let's learn that if I did a good job, please leave me a positive review. It really helps my profile. What positive do you know? Please help me put a honest positive review. It really helps my profile. It helps me get more job and it helps me get run higher on the platform. Ask. Another thing you should do is ask for referrals. You are ending a contract with a client because the clients don't really work. Ask them, junior and other person that's can, junior and other person that needs this kind of job, they don't instruct the person for you. They just need to give you that email and let the person know that you are coming. That's all you do. You reach out to them yourself. Ask them if you need to do a quick review. Just talking about how they love the job that you did. All of these things are things that you need to do for your next client. I think that's everything that I want to, if you do all of these things, you get your first client, second client, and you have them for a long time. They're going to get 10k in your time. The biggest problem we get from 0 to 10k or 0 to 20k is that you're always looking for new clients. I usually would say aim for between two to four clients. You don't want anyone clients to be more than 30% of your income. Don't make that mistake. Don't let anyone clients be more than 30% of your income. If your client is 50% of your income, that's a problem because the data client stops working with you. Your income takes a huge shift. Once you have 45 stable clients, now you can start focusing on them and building them. I think that's everything I wanted to cover. I don't have time to talk about how to use the algorithm. My session is ending by 8. I hope that I've been able to cover or provide some.
