I need ideas and advice to improve my proposal views

Hi folks, I am sure there is an art and science for creating a killer targeted proposal.

But my challenge is to get my proposal viewed in the first place!

Below are what I consider the factors that I think determine whether client views my proposal or not:

Price - Major factor, I try to find the "sweet point" between my worth and the market.

Location - I am based in South Africa, and I understand US clients want a freelancer as close to them as possible.

Timing - I call it the "golden hour". I secured many contracts because I responded quickly using the RSS feed (Which has been removed).

Other factors include:

Job Success: I try to stay at 100%

Total Jobs and Hours: My experience may influence the proposal viewing decision.

Rating: I try to keep it "Top Rated"

Earnings: Not very high at the moment, working on it.

Boosted: I am not sure if this affects the clients decision to view my proposal.

Bidding: An extra cost to submit a proposal, If I have the connects I bid high.

Availability badge: I have not really used this, not sure of its weight in the client decision to view.

Boost your profile: ditto

It takes money (connects) to make money. I have no problem with that. Upwork is a mature, professional and reliable platform.

I just need advice on how to get my proposal viewed, and spend my connects wisely.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

I achieved financial, time, and location freedom when I mastered Upwork.

I created this group to help other freelancers and agencies do the same.
