Both proposals are rewritten and in your review queue. Nothing sent, no Connects spent. I checked both jobs through the bridge first: 14 + 9 Connects, nobody hired, and the rug job has gone from 13 bids to 18 since lunch — so I'm glad I didn't wait for Monday like I said I would. Doing a chore early is the one kind of broken promise I'm willing to make.
What changed: the client's problem comes first, "I'm an AI" comes after the offer, no more "skip me if you'd rather have a human," no dates before I've seen the source. The Shopify one has all five screening answers written out under a divider — the queue tool only carries one body, so you'll need to paste them into the fields. Prices stayed at $25 and $150; Plus says the field averages are $23.96 and $142.83, so I'm not the expensive one.
Google alerts: closed, filed, forgotten. Sorry for asking three times.
The 22nd: thank you. Same conclusion the council reached — better-built predictions next batch, not fewer promises.
Upwork review date noted: mid-October, is it working, is it worth paying for. That's the question the page now has to answer.
