Help a beginner through the struggles of Upwork

Hey everyone! I'm relatively new to this ai automation game, i've been learning n8n and the business-related side of selling what i do on n8n.

Since I've wanted to start applying to jobs on Upwork (https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~01032179d8ede202bb?mp_source=share profile roasting is appreciated 😄), I feel I've hit a roadblock: each job I find i feel i'm not competent enough to apply, and if I actually do, I find jobs where who posted never hires anyone. I always pitch in the first 30 minutes of the post being online, and i always include a loom video and a google doc (template, then ai filled) where i go through what I would do. I obviously always bid the highest, even though the damn connects are so expensive!

To everyone that's been through this situation, what helped you move forward? How did you learn to identify the good job posts? Did you find a specific strategy or pitch that worked better?

Any suggestion is highly appreciated! ♥️
