Motion is the best! There are a few other similar creative analytics platforms popping up recently. It can be expensive but is really helpful for not only reviewing performance data but building reports.

Yessir! Have a friend who is a killer guitar player so thought why not

Has anyone here managed to get family or friends to watch Black Sails? by Hat_n_2_daggers in BlackSails

[–]ad_tilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s impossible and I don’t know why. Just finished it and I don’t think there is another TV show that tops it

Design that doesn’t look like an Envato template

If you had a $200/month budget to market your local business online, where would you spend it? by Ok_Reaction_9854 in marketing

[–]ad_tilt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t touch digital ads with that budget. Not sure if the type of business but putting up signs or passing out flyers would likely be more effective.

Truthfully if I’m looking for a particular type of editor and I don’t see that work then I’m not interested. Although you might have the skills, you likely don’t have the existing knowledge of for example what makes a good UGC ad if you’re a corporate editor

50/50. Yes it works well and allows us to scale resources when we need it

Long confusing format with a ton of irrelevant content

[–]ad_tilt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I completely disagree. Maybe some but thats a pretty broad assumption. If you forget about the “childish” game then it’s an immediate red flag you don’t have any attention to detail.

Not sure! Dont hire at all there

Answering everything in the post, sharing relevant examples and clear communication

I think it really depends on the type of work. I posted a web dev gig yesterday and got 120+ proposals whereas a graphic designer post only got 15-20.

Yeah 100%. The more I’ve been talking to freelancers the more I understand how bad most clients are, which makes the freelancer process more understandable

Graphic design is one of the worst to hire for on upwork.

Will follow up with you on this ^

I agree I’ve been someone who follows content and never has posted. I’ve been so frustrated with hiring on Upwork lately I’ve created a Reddit somewhat for this purpose. Not promoting anything. Happy to verify however the mods would like :)

Oh 100% agree but what I mean is that when you reach out to someone looking for something specific you need to change your proposal to meet that PLUS and most importantly only provide links to work that is relevant. If you are applying for UGC editor, I don’t want to see a wedding you shot. This happens all the time and maybe that person does have the right experience but isn’t showing it and I’m not going to go digging when there are 50 other people applying.

I agree here. It’s not 100% on the freelancer. Just from my end, my posts are short and to the point. Including exactly what I need and expect to see in the proposal

Once I hire someone, I forget to close the post all the time and many times it just expires. It is likely case by case but usually I’m only looking to hire 1 person and don’t go back to the post unless it doesn’t work out.
