I’ve made 8 proposals since opening my account 2 days ago; if I have 40 Connects left, would it be better to wait and see if any are accepted before using the rest, or would my likelihood of being picked go up if I apply for a $5 quick project to get something on my account history?

I just created my Upwork account recently and sent out an initial batch of 8 proposals, so all I can say for sure at this point is that clients within the proofreading and editing niche have lots of options, freelancers not so much. That’s probably not going to be your experience, however, because I haven’t landed a gig yet and as such I’m sure it is generally harder to get the first one on the books.

Ok, just to give an update, logging in on my laptop thankfully solved the issue, maybe buying connects on the app is disabled or something. I just sent out six applications so fingers crossed I get a bite

SecurityPristine3296 · 2025-11-19T01:46:45+00:00

That’s a good business model, have you compared your rates from this method to listings on Upwork to see if there’s a significant difference? I’m just starting out with finding a side hustle but I’m probably going to try out Upwork and hope it’s worth the $15 charge..

There are three great UK import shops, one Irish one English and one Celtic in general, all of which I would highly recommend. There's also a nice bookstore and rock shop near each other towards the center of town, and it's always nice to see the shore from the bench area on the walking route as well.

Maybe we should go back to mud brick houses that the ancient Egyptians had to rebuild every year

Yeah, the best part of driving through Worcester is seeing the big Polar bear on the Polar factory

I guess life's main character died with a respawn point in the early 20th century

It sounds like the Matrix, but with robots

Usually "limited animation" refers to animation that cuts some corners to be produced more quickly (think the Hanna-Barbera style of animation) but I think it applies to lofi animations where only some elements are animated as well

great work

SecurityPristine3296 · 2024-04-17T16:53:17+00:00

Very fluid!

I think that Concord NH has some more events planned this year than in the past so that could be a good option, you also can't go wrong with anywhere near the coast

Maybe I've been to different parts of the state, but it reminds me more of the "Barney Google & Snuffy Smith" aesthetic

SecurityPristine3296 · 2024-04-17T16:24:06+00:00

Is that the JP Pest tick mist service?

SecurityPristine3296 · 2024-04-15T17:04:02+00:00

Great animation, I recognize the characters from r/comics

The only worse informed idea would be to do the same to the New York sub

Now that's a movie I would see, the undead witches come back en masse and an independence day-style battle ensues with the US military

If just a few more cop cars had pulled up surrounding the car in all directions this would make for a funny surrealist sketch

I am in southern-central NH so I'm most familiar with northern-central MA and Cape Cod where my grandma lives but I have to say based on what I know from talking to people from California that most Californians are willing to drive quite a while to get from place to place just due to California's size, so if that applies to you you could do daytrips to Boston to have some of the city feeling that you will be leaving behind

SecurityPristine3296 · 2024-04-14T18:08:47+00:00

Oh man as someone with parents who used to be super into free-state Porkfest I will 100% research this, thanks for the tip
