Ready for more projects!
Hey!
Happy to have some projects rolling in with a few bookings last week and my first review. So excited to have the mic issues resolved and I've been uploading new samples (high quality and trying to categorize as many new styles ie: videogames, announcements as possible) daily for nearly ten days and up to about 120 on my profile.
I'm just wondering if there's still anything else I can do to increase my opportunities of getting bookings, speedy's, contests coming through more regularly. My rates are honestly very low but I'm waiting to build up a little more on my plate before I start to increase. Any suggestions would be super helpful.
Thanks!

Hi Ted! Sorry again for taking some time to get back to you here.
So, checking your profile I see that you're doing a great effort which is fantastic. However, your stats are still quite low. Taking into consideration that none of the auditions you've submitted have been chosen as the winner, your profile has more likely lost some ranking for contests. Same for Speedy projects where out of 6, only 2 have been approved by our client. For these 2 categories it could take quite some time before you can increase your ranking on these 2.
There's also the fact that out of 14 submissions eligible for the stats, 6 have been rejected. This also impacts your ranking overall so it could also be expected for you to see less projects for a while.
Now, checking your samples, I see here that 21 have been rejected. I'll share the links of the rejected samples via email so you can remove them. If you'd like to share some of them here for our review here, we would be totally up for that!
So, to answer your question, I believe that at this moment is a matter of being patient. The invites will not stop coming, but it's true that you won't see many taking your stats into consideration. The number of samples you have is good as you have a lot of samples there. Uploading more not necessarily will boost your visibility so I say this is more than enough.
Hope this helped!
Thanks Angela,
All makes sense. Would you suggest I focus more on Bookings and uncheck the speedies / contests on my profile since thats what I've had more approvals in? vs getting another rejection and affecting my already low stats?
And how do the stats affect my invites for projects in all the categories of speedy / contests / bookings?
That would be great to get the links of the rejected samples.
Thanks!
