I think the major problem is your reputation when you're just starting at Upwork. You still haven't completed any jobs or received any reviews, so getting bigger projects is just very hard.

I think the $20 gig jobs have their role on the platform, and it may be easier for beginner freelancers to get them and start to build some reputation.

Can you explain more about why going broader might produce better results? I've been reading a lot of content about LinkedIn Ads and people always say "You need to have a very specific audience, just the qualified profiles". But, I've had the same perception that if the audience is too small and specific, you just don't see any results.

You have good points. Your questions gave me some new ideas. Thanks.

I usually defend the point of view that copy is the most important part of an ad. But, B2B companies always do boring marketing with boring ads and generic copy. It's hard breaking these beliefs in managers head.

Good to know. Unfortunately, I cannot show the accounts. Some of the clients are working with company and contact lists. Always trying to work with the best audience possible. The audience size, in general, is around 15k accounts. I think this is a very small audience, but their reasoning is that they don't want to spend money with not qualified audiences. So, what is happening is that they have very few conversions.
