Positioning Yourself for Success on DRUPALJOB.COM

Proposals - Get the Drupal-Help-Seeker's attention
Proposals are your first chance to differentiate your business by explaining what makes you unique and the Drupal-Help-Seeker's best choice.
· Personalize your proposal. Custom proposals have been rated as extremely important by both Drupal-Help-Seekers and successful service providers.
· Highlight your expertise. Indicate relevant experience and upload relevant samples. As the expert, present solutions and outline your approach.
· Clearly state what you'll deliver. Indicate the services you'll deliver, the schedule and your payment terms. This helps the Drupal-Help-Seeker understand what to expect for your bid amount.

Portfolios - Let your work speak for you
Your portfolio allows a Drupal-Help-Seeker to see your actual work.
· Target your portfolio. Your portfolio should be specific to each sub-category.
· Be selective. Your portfolio will load slowly if it is crowded. Choose only your best work. You can upload more samples directly to your proposal.
· Describe your work. Meaningful captions help Drupal-Help-Seekers find relevant samples. Include a short description of the project in each file.
Profiles - Describe your business and experience
Drupal-Help-Seekers want service providers with a history of client satisfaction. If you are also successful outside of DRUPALJOB.COM, communicate this.
· Target your message. Concentrate on marketing to a specific set of Drupal-Help-Seekers or projects. Describe prior projects, list references and industry experience.
· Indicate business history. Indicate if you are an incorporated business and how long your business has been established.
· Get verified. Build trust and credibility by verifying references and credentials.
