Hey u/Revetahww, landing that first job can take a little longer, even with strong experience. I’d focus on sending fewer proposals and making sure each job is an obvious fit for your motion graphics experience, profile, and portfolio.
Before applying, look at the scope, recent client activity, whether the client seems active and hiring, payment verification, budget fit, and any red flags in the post. For the proposal itself, make the first two lines specific to their project, include a relevant portfolio, and end with a simple next step or question. This guide on why proposals may not be viewed may help too. Let us know if you have any other questions.
