Stage 5 · Lesson 3 of 7

A Connects and proposal routine

Landing your first clients

Set a weekly routine instead of applying on impulse. Check new posts at set times and apply early to the few that fit well. Record each with the spent, the fee shown and the outcome.

A is one where you bid extra Connects to place it at the top of the 's list. You pay only if your boost wins. It can help on a post you fit exactly, but it never rescues a weak proposal.

After twenty proposals, look at your numbers. Views, replies and interviews tell you whether the problem is which posts you pick or how you write.

Common trapspending your whole budget in the first week and learning nothing about why proposals fail.

A question to check yourself, an AI practice session and 2 cheat sheet entries come when you add the roadmap to your account. Add it
