  1. Add your message

Message

The message you add here is the cover letter. You can write different cover letters for different campaigns. Simply create additional campaigns with unique messaging and keywords for each.

You can view an example message here.

Upwork has started enforcing external communication. Rather than include a Calendly link, I suggest embeding your calendar on a page on your website. This will not raise any red flags with Upwork. You can see an example here.

  1. Fill out your default message. Upwork allows job listings to have add variable number of questions after the cover letter. This message will be the response to any questions asked beyond the cover letter. It should be something generic like "Let's get on a call"

  1. Personalize with AI - This feature is coming soon.
