In 12 months, only 1 reply to my Applies; vanished before any call.
“You have been selected to apply” emails are frequent and mostly irrelevant.
Most listings show $200–$700 for mid-size tasks.
Feels like far more designers than clients.
Looking for data, not vibes:
Your Apply → call conversion?
Niches with $1k+ budgets and repeat clients?
Which profile tweaks actually moved the needle?
