Hello everyone, 

My name is George Ibi-ateli, I understand that can be long to spell out, so please, call me IB. 

I'm new to the community, but I've been on Upwork over two years. I wasn't paying a close enough attention, I didn't know something like this was in existence. I've been moving solo this entire time. 

So, I'm a ghostwriter. I write novels, short stories, and the likes. 

It's nice to be here, really.

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to be joining this Community and connecting with fellow freelancers. My main goal in joining this Community is to network with like-minded professionals, share knowledge, and learn from the experiences of others.

I'm particularly interested in learning strategies and techniques to secure high-value projects that are over $1000. As an influencer, motivational speaker, creative director, writer, and actor, I've had the opportunity to grow a following on TikTok by sharing insights about spiritual awakenings. This following has opened doors for me to work as a spokesperson and get paid for advertisements.

Currently, I have successfully completed six contracts and two projects, but I'm striving for consistent and recurring income. I'm also eager to explore opportunities for passive income, leveraging my skills and expertise to generate revenue. I'm looking forward to engaging in meaningful discussions, sharing valuable resources, and collaborating with fellow freelancers. Let's connect, learn, and grow together!

Best regards,

Alicia Watkins

Hello Everyone, 

I'm excited to be a part of this Upwork community group and to connect with all of you. I am new to Upwork as I am a college student who wants to get experiences for the future. Let my future customers know that I have experience in what I am doing. My name is Nezzle but is easier to just call me Nez and I'm looking forward to learning from your experiences and collaborating with you all.

Thank you so much for reading this

[m_terrazas]

This is not the place to learn. Clients are looking for people with some experience who can do a job, they are not going to pay you to learn. Now your profile is nothing, with what you have in your presentation, the only thing you are going to get is that some scammer approaches you. You must work on it. The best thing you can do is go to Academy (at the top of the forum), read the ToS and learn about the scams. Search the forum, there is a very good thread about it (I don't have the link handy). And deactivate "Available now", now it is only an expense that will not bring you anything.

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to join this community! I am looking forward to make great connections with other freelancers and learn from them.

I am a Webflow Developer & Designer. You can check my portfolio website here:

**Edited for Community Guidelines**

Recently I got Rising Star badge but I am currently facing one problem so I would like to hear your opinion on it.

So I got my first contract with one client and I needed to do pretty quick job that took around 2 hours.

I had to build some small website that he will advertise and only that was in the description of the job nothing else .

Later he asked me to help him with something else which will just take few minutes. I did that but it did not help him and not because of me but because of something else which I have no control over. So because of that his website doesn't have much purpose if he does not do that so we are still after a week delaying because that thing is not done which was not described in the job description. I didn't want to push the client to end the contract and pay me because I wanted him to be 100% satisfyed because it's my first job so I can get 5 star review but  now it came to this and UpWork also paused and suspended the contract. 

So I am kind of stuck and don't know what to do 😞
