More client money on Upwork comes from the United States than from anywhere else. If you're an American freelancer or agency, that puts you in the same time zone as your clients and in competition with the whole world for their attention. You'll rarely win on price. You win by sending the proposal that sounds local, specific and low-risk.
US agencies are usually short of hours, and there's no shortage of jobs to go for. Senior people end up doing the bidding because nobody else can speak for the work, and that time comes out of billable hours. A dedicated bidder who follows a written targeting profile gives those hours back, and the standard of what gets sent stays the same.
When clients start work, in New York time.
New York keeps the same hours as the US East Coast, where a large share of Upwork's clients post their jobs. You see new work as soon as it appears, and so does everyone else in North America. That makes it important to be one of the first proposals the client reads. Our team works on Pakistan Standard Time, which is 9 hours ahead of New York.

What a dedicated Upwork bidder does for you.
Picks the jobs first
We agree a written targeting profile with you. It covers categories, your lowest budget, client history and warning signs, and it decides which jobs are worth your Connects.
Covers the hours you can't
Someone watches the feed across the time zones your clients post in, so good jobs get an answer while they're still new.
Writes to the brief
Each proposal opens with the client's problem and the piece of your past work that's closest to it. We don't paste templates.
Shows you the record
We log every proposal, view, reply and interview and go through them with you each week. You see real counts.
Questions people ask us.
Do you work with freelancers and agencies in the United States?
Yes. We work remotely with freelancers and agencies across the United States, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and more. Our team works on Pakistan Standard Time, which is 9 hours ahead of New York.
Do you have an office in the United States?
No. Improvexus is based in Pakistan and works with clients in the United States remotely. We handle the targeting, the proposals and the weekly reports online. We'd sooner tell you that plainly than pretend to be around the corner.
Do you guarantee jobs?
No. The hiring decision is the client's and nobody can promise it. What we commit to is the work, which means the targeting, the proposals and a weekly record, and we show you what came of it.
