Brain snack: “The best way to stand out is to stop blending in.”
First Five Seconds: The 60-sec proposal hack
Most Upwork proposals sound the same.
Boring. Generic. Text walls.
Clients skim and delete.
But when you send a Loom video?
They stop scrolling.
They watch.
They remember you.
Why it works:
- It shows effort.
- It builds trust.
- It proves you’re real.
No one’s doing this.
So you instantly rise to the top.
Next time you apply, try this:
- Hit record.
- Say their name.
- Break down their brief in 3 simple ideas.
- Give proof why you’re capable of the job.
- Ask them to respond so you can chat (and help them make this very important decision).
One minute. One take.
No editing. Just energy.
Then drop the link to the vid.
Watch your replies double.

PS: If your face is the reason you’re not recording…
good news: audio-only Looms work too.
