The Real Problem

The work is not only in writing proposals. It is in deciding where your time should go.

The feed is noisy, most jobs are a weak fit, and connects get burned on work that was never right for you.

Noise

Job feed is a firehose

Hundreds of new jobs daily. Most of them are not for you. Scrolling through Upwork's feed burns hours before you even start writing.

Wasted Connects

Bidding on bad-fit jobs

You spend 6-16 connects on a proposal, then realize the client wants on-site work, has no budget, or the "React job" is really a PM role. Those connects do not come back.

Slow Start

Writing from scratch every time

Every proposal starts with a blank page. No reference to the job post, no feedback from past proposals, no way to know what actually works.

Your Workflow

A workflow built for freelancers.

Use filters to narrow the field, notifications to move faster, qualifier to avoid bad-fit jobs, and proposal tools to write from a stronger starting point.

01

Filter the noise

Set up job filters with 30+ criteria — skills, budget range, client quality, location, job type — and only see jobs that match your niche.

02

Get notified instantly

Receive alerts via Slack, Telegram, email, or webhook the moment a matching job is posted. Apply while the client is still online.

03

Qualify before you bid

AI Job Qualifier reads the full posting and checks it against your rules. See a score and reasoning before you spend a single connect.

04

Draft stronger proposals

AI Proposal Generator creates a tailored draft from your template and the job context. Edit, improve, and submit — not write from scratch.

Why Vollna

Better than Upwork alerts + ChatGPT + spreadsheets

Most freelancers cobble together a workflow from free tools. Vollna replaces all of them with one integrated system.

DIY Approach

Stitched together, always breaking

Multiple tools, no feedback loop, no real workflow

×
Upwork RSS/email alerts

Slow, limited filters, no job scoring. You still read every post manually.


×
ChatGPT for proposals

No job context, no template system, no feedback on what works. You copy-paste job descriptions manually.


×
Spreadsheets for tracking

Manual data entry, no view/reply rate tracking, no way to learn what gets responses.


×
No feedback loop

No way to know which proposals get views, which get replies, or what is actually working.
