When working with a Selection system, success not only depends on your writing skills but also on how well you place proposals for orders. Each order attracts multiple writers offering different prices, making clients choose from numerous proposals. For a writer, winning a bid isn't just about being the cheapest - it's about strategy, understanding the client's needs, and positioning yourself as the best choice. Therefore, let's discuss three key tactics for placing proposals to help you win more orders.

Place Proposals Strategically with Competitive Pricing

One common mistake writers need to avoid is either placing too cheap or too expensive proposals. While offering the lowest price to secure the order is tempting, clients are often cautious about extremely low proposals, associating them with poor quality. However, making pricey proposals can make you appear overpriced compared to other writers.

Tactic: Offer a competitive price based on the complexity of the work and your expertise. Always balance affordability with quality assurance to show clients you're a professional who values their time and investment.

Thoroughly Understand the Client's Requirements Before Placing Proposals

Another effective proposal placement strategy is to carefully read and analyze the client's order description before the selection process. Too often, writers rush to submit their proposals on as many orders as possible without fully considering whether they can actually deliver the required papers. This can lead to misunderstandings, poor reviews, or even cancellations.

Tactic: Place proposals on orders only if you are confident you can successfully complete them. Take the time to review the client's requirements, word count, deadlines, attached files, and specific requests. If there are terms or subjects that you're unfamiliar with, it may be better to pass on that order. By selectively placing proposals on tasks you excel at, you'll be more likely to deliver quality work, earn good reviews, and build long-term client relationships. You'll also avoid the frustration and stress of taking on an order that doesn't match your skill set.

Showcase Your Expertise in Academic Writing and Communication

Clients on our platform often look for more than just a good writer—they want someone who can guide them through the entire process and handle any challenges. Writers who can communicate well, answer questions about structure, citation styles, and meet academic standards are more likely to win proposals.

Tactic: If your bidders are confident in academic writing, they must show this expertise in their communication. When placing a proposal, send a personalized message that outlines how your skills align with the order’s requirements. For example, mention your familiarity with various citation styles (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.), experience in researching academic topics, or previous successes in similar orders. By demonstrating that you are not only a writer but also a subject matter expert who understands academic standards, you’ll stand out to clients seeking quality and reliability.

Conclusion

Placing proposals on our platform requires a mix of strategy, expertise, and understanding of the client's needs. You can easily increase your chances of winning more proposals and building a strong reputation on the platform by offering competitive pricing, submitting proposals on orders you are confident you can complete, and demonstrating your academic expertise.
