Ask What is the most common mistake freelancers make when writing their first client proposal?

[Edward22]

A lot of first-time freelancers focus so much on explaining what they can do that they forget to address what the client actually needs. The proposal ends up reading like a resume instead of a solution to a problem. Pricing is another area where mistakes happen, either quoting too low out of fear or too high without enough experience to back it up. A good proposal should show the client that you understand their situation. What mistake did you make in your very first proposal?
