```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira.

## Documentation

### Upwork Hunting — Find, Bid, Win Automation Jobs

Systematically find and win Upwork jobs using our n8n workflow library (2,061 templates) as a speed advantage.
All outputs go to workspace/artifacts/.

### Use when

Scanning Upwork for jobs to bid on
Writing proposals for n8n/automation/AI agent jobs
Evaluating whether a job is worth a connect spend
Estimating delivery time using our template library
Positioning ourselves against other freelancers

### Don't use when

Writing the actual proposal copy (use proposal-writing skill)
Handling client objections after bidding (use objection-handling skill)
Doing discovery after winning (use client-discovery skill)
Jobs outside our domain (graphic design, copywriting, mobile dev)

### Negative examples

"Help me build an n8n workflow" → No. This is for FINDING jobs, not doing them.
"Write me a portfolio piece" → No. Different task.
"Should I raise my rate?" → No. Use pricing-psychology skill.

### Edge cases

Fixed-price vs hourly evaluation → YES. This skill covers both.
"Is this job a scam?" → YES. Red flag detection included.
Jobs that need n8n + custom code → YES. Evaluate if template + light code is feasible.

### Our Competitive Edge

We have what most Upwork freelancers don't:

2,061 n8n workflow templates (~/projects/n8n-workflows/) — we customize, not build from scratch
Live n8n instance at localhost:5678 — can demo instantly
Twilio already configured — SMS/voice jobs are plug-and-play
AI/LLM expertise — OpenAI, Ollama, agent orchestration
Full sales pipeline skills — discovery, proposals, objections, retention

Speed advantage: A job that takes most freelancers 8-10 hours, we deliver in 2-4 hours using templates.

### Ideal Job Profile (Bid Aggressively)

Category: n8n automation, workflow automation, API integration, AI chatbot
Budget: $200-2,000 fixed price OR $30-75/hr hourly
Posted: <48 hours ago
Proposals: <15 submitted
Client: Verified payment, $1K+ spent, 4.5+ rating
Scope: Clearly defined deliverable
Template match: We have 70%+ of the workflow in our library

### Good Job Profile (Bid Selectively)

Budget: $100-200 (small but fast win for reviews)
Posted: 2-5 days ago with <20 proposals
Scope: Slightly vague but in our domain
Client: New to Upwork but verified payment

### Avoid (Don't Waste Connects)

Budget under $50 (not worth the time)
50+ proposals already (too competitive)
"Build me an app" with $100 budget (unrealistic expectations)
No payment verification
Vague scope with no budget range
"Looking for long-term, pay is low but will increase" (it won't)

### Tier 1: Template-Ready (1-3 hours delivery)

These map directly to our n8n library. Bid aggressively.

### Tier 2: Template + Customization (3-6 hours)

Need moderate customization but templates provide 50-70% of the work.

### Proposal Formula (Compressed)

Use proposal-writing skill for full version. Quick Upwork format:

Line 1: Reference THEIR specific need (proves you read it)
Line 2: "I've built [similar thing] — [result]"
Line 3: "I'd use n8n to [approach], delivering [outcome] in [timeframe]"
Line 4: "Happy to do [small first milestone] so you can evaluate"
Line 5: Question about their requirements (invites response)

Key differentiators to mention:

"I have a live n8n instance and can demo your workflow within 24 hours"
"I maintain a library of 2,000+ tested workflow templates"
"Your automation runs on YOUR infrastructure — no monthly SaaS fees"
"Includes documentation so your team can maintain it"

### Connect Spend Strategy

Starting budget: 100 connects ($15 investment)

Allocation:

60% on Tier 1 jobs (high win probability, quick delivery, build reviews)
30% on Tier 2 jobs (higher revenue, moderate effort)
10% on Tier 3 jobs (moonshots, big payoff if won)

Target: Win 2-3 jobs in first 2 weeks. Focus on 5-star reviews over revenue initially.

Refill connects when:

Win rate >15% (good — keep spending)
Win rate <10% (pause — improve proposals first)

### Job Evaluation Scorecard

Before spending connects, score the job:

FactorScore 1-5WeightBudget realistic for scope25%Template coverage (how much is pre-built)25%Client quality (rating, history, verification)20%Competition (<15 proposals)15%Follow-on potential (recurring/upsell)15%

Bid threshold: 3.5+ weighted score
Auto-skip: Any factor scores 1

### First 30 Days Playbook

Week 1: Bid on 8-10 Tier 1 jobs. Goal: win 2, deliver fast, get 5-star reviews.
Week 2: Bid on 5-8 mixed Tier 1+2. Goal: win 2 more, start building profile credibility.
Week 3: Raise rate from $49 to $59/hr. Start bidding Tier 2 exclusively.
Week 4: Target 1-2 Tier 3 jobs ($500+). Profile now has 4+ reviews.

Revenue target: $800-1,200 in first 30 days. Combined with Alfred ($149/mo), that's $950-1,350/mo — closing in on $2K goal.
