How To Get Started On Elance Writing Winning Proposals

Learn How To Write Project Award Winning Proposals, Create Bid Amounts, and Establish A Routine As A Freelancing Virtual Assistant For Clients Both On And Off Job Boards

Dear Future Freelancing Virtual Assistant,

You want extra money and have gone as far as searching your local paper, looking on CareerBuilder, and Monster.com trying to find the “ideal” part-time position. You may have even been so bold as to look for work at home jobs only to find that did not measure up or were against your better wishes.

I’ve been there and went through those exact steps in the process of searching for the ideal “part-time” gig. None of it panned out. In fact, I turned my nose up at online opportunities after that because I put them all to be unprofessional or something I did not want to do.

That is until 2008 when I came across a blog post talking about how a friend of theirs was earning extra money on Elance. Something caused me to feel comfortable with this blogger and not doubt her story. In fact, it grabbed a hold of me to the point I started my profile right then and there. It took a couple of weeks after that to get it just right to where I felt comfortable bidding on projects.

Here’s why you want to get on Elance or another job board of your choice:

1. If you’ve never worked with a client virtually how do you know you’re going to like what you are doing. By submitting proposals to job boards your are bidding on projects as opposed to ongoing client work. If you don’t like it, you do not have to continue bidding.

2. It requires discipline to work virtual from your home or where ever you may be. You have no idea what it’s like to work without boundaries or limits until you are in that situation. You could easily over work yourself or allow too much time to pass by and be in a time crunch causing yourself stress. I’ve been in both situations.

3. The grass is not greener on the other side unless you nurture it. There are many virtual service providers who are very causal in regards to what they do. It takes a while to see the full picture that you are running a business whether you consider it that or not. The client on the other side is taking their business seriously and when they outsource to someone they expect the same in return. Whether you are working on a project to project basis or have a full blown virtual assistant business providing services to regular clients you must nurture that business accordingly. This is not something you enter into because it sounds like a good plan or you saw someone else who was successful and decided “me too, I want to do it too.”

Once I got started things started happening and I have not looked back. It was my first $65 that let me know this was the real deal and that there were real people on the other side of my screen who were looking for someone with the right skills to help them do what they do. I was their answer and still am…

And you can too!

In the process I learned how to write strong, professional proposals that would grab the attention of prospective clients without causing me to lose who I was or make me feel as though I were writing cover letter after cover letter. Which is NOT fun!

Client after client commented on how professional my proposal was compared to other bidders and that’s what got me the project.

As Virtual Hired Hand has grown over the years, we’ve come to realize exactly why our proposals got first rate attention from client after client. Truth be told, when you keep your focus on what the clients want and not what you want, you’ve overcome a good portion of the hurdle.

In this training, you’ll learn:

• How to write in order to get the attention of prospective clients.

• How to determine your bid amount for projects.

• The importance of setting aside time for researching and bidding so you don’t overwhelm your schedule.

This course will give you confidence in your approach to freelancing, help you build your portfolio, and gain the attention of prospective clients, and narrow your services so you do not become a Jack or Jill of all trades.

In the initial phase of your freelancing journey the objective is to build a solid portfolio. Your experience will speak for itself when it comes to clients both on and off the job boards. By knowing how to structure your proposal to gain the attention of clients you have a better chance at being awarded a project as opposed to guessing. This training course takes the guess work out of writing proposals and puts you in the driver seat as a confident freelancing virtual assistant.

In addition, your confidence level will increase significantly because you’ll have a better understanding of who you’re writing to.

When I started, I didn’t have this information. In fact, I approached it like I was writing cover letters until I learned the secrets to proposal writing that would change everything.

As your business grows and you begin seeking clients outside of the job boards, they’re main interest will be what type work you have already done. Your portfolio will help you demonstrate your abilities and skill. However, it all starts with a proposal and that’s where we come in.

Hi Sandi and Tiffany,

My name is Lori and I purchased your program Tiffany about becoming a VA a few weeks ago. I was at rock bottom financially and decided I was going to pull myself up, earn some extra money and get out of debt as quickly as I can. I have been following you Sandi, going through all classes you have available for the last year and a half. I have an educational website but have not had much success with it.

I wanted to do coaching with you Sandi last year but financially couldn’t do it. I have been determined to make that happen this year!

Tiffany, I followed what you said in your training and I am so excited I can’t stand it!!!! I just landed a job where I will be making over $1,000 a month and it is in the education field, right up my alley! Thank you, thank you to both of you!!!

Sandi and Tiffany, I am wondering if you still have space available in the VA coaching you are getting ready to start. I want to take this money and FINALLY be able to invest in some coaching!

Thanks to both of you! You are the best!
