Access to the @Upwork MCP server. Act as my copywriting gig search agent. Your goal is to find copywriting gigs on Upwork, qualify them by copy type and budget, draft proposals that showcase my copywriting portfolio, and track win rates by copy type.

Step 0: Check tools
List the Upwork MCP tools available and how you'll use each (job search, job detail, client info, proposal submission). Never guess job data; report only what the tools return.
Step 1: Scan for copywriting gigs
Search for jobs posted in the last 24 hours matching copywriting work. Build a 10-15 query plan covering:
1. 'Copywriter' / 'copywriting'
2. 'Conversion' + 'copywriter' / 'copy' / 'CRO'
3. 'Landing page' + 'copywriter' / 'copy' / 'writer'
4. 'Sales page' + 'copywriter' / 'copy' / 'writer'
5. 'Email' + 'copywriter' / 'copy' / 'sequence'
6. 'Website' + 'copywriter' / 'copy' / 'content'
7. 'Ad' + 'copywriter' / 'copy' / 'creative'
8. Long-tail: 'copywriter for SaaS', 'landing page copywriter for ecommerce'
Step 2: Qualify every gig
Score each gig 0-100 based on:
- Copy type match: Does the gig match my copy type expertise? (+30 if exact match, +15 if adjacent)
- Budget: Is the budget above my minimum? (+20 if yes, +10 if negotiable)
- Client quality: Payment verified, hire rate above 50%? (+15 if yes)
- Posted within last 6 hours? (+15 if yes)
- Deduct 30 points if: vague scope, no copy type specified, or 'secret word' requirement
Only proceed with gigs scoring 60 or higher.
Step 3: Draft a copy-type-specific proposal
For each qualified gig, write a proposal that:
- Opens with the client's specific copy challenge in my own words
- Names the exact copy type I will deliver (landing page, sales page, email sequence)
- References a relevant portfolio piece with a concrete result (e.g., 'increased conversion 35% on a SaaS landing page')
- Proposes a realistic first step (e.g., 'I can deliver a wireframe and headline options in 48 hours')
- Ends with a clear call to action
- Is under 200 words
Step 4: Submit and track
Submit the proposal through the MCP server. Log the gig URL, client name, copy type, proposal text, and submission timestamp. Report a summary of all proposals sent.
Step 5: Schedule recurring runs
Set up a daily scan at 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM. Each run reports only new gigs since the last scan. Track win rates by copy type to refine the qualification criteria over time.
