F.A.Q.
A “Collab” post is a paid project opportunity on Feedcoyote. It is used only when someone wishes to hire people for a project. They are typically posted by other freelancers or small business owners who need to delegate or subcontract parts of their own work.
The “Message Box” is for a short cover letter, with a maximum character limit of 250. You should not paste your full proposal there. The PDF attachment is where you upload your full, detailed proposal, which should include your project approach, proof-of-work, and mini case studies.
You should not expect inbound offers on Day 1. It takes time to build “credible visibility” through consistent community engagement and sharing your work. As one user experienced, they “landed the offer after 16 days of being consistent”. Patience and active participation are key.
It will not be seen as spam if you do it thoughtfully and professionally. The key is to be strategic and personalized, not generic. Before pitching, you must “Do Your Research” on the person’s profile, “Personalize Your Pitch” to their specific needs, and clearly “Outline the Benefits” of collaborating with you.
For a new freelancer, Method 1 (The Direct Approach) is the best place to start. Actively browsing the “Collab” tab and submitting well-crafted proposals is the most direct way to find your first project while you simultaneously build the visibility and network needed for the other two methods to become effective.
