$2M Earned on Upwork. I would love to HELP!

[#1]

Hey Everyone,

I posted this in the newbie group. I can answer newbie questions there,

I can help answer more advanced questions here, I would love to help my fellow freelancers : )

I have been on upwork for 12 years now (previously elance),

I have been on the forums for a couple years but never really participated much,

I figured, what better way than to help others, ask away, some stats below (you can also click to see my profile)

👉 Earned $2 Million+ on Upwork.
👉 Completed 400+ jobs on freelance platforms.
👉 Attained 200+ 5-star reviews.
👉 Worked 40,000+ hours on freelance platforms
👉 Earned a 100% Feedback Rating
👉 Worked with 1,000+ Clients

Thank You - Sam

I do agree, you need to take this as a business and not as a "gig". You need to put things in place to become successful.

Hi Jeanne,

would really appreciate if you can review my profile and suggest useful tips, as I am new here.

Please read this post and visit all the links. There is a tremendous amount of help directly through Upwork. If you have already been through the Academy, you can  hover over the links to see where they lead.

Change your photo so you can clearly see your face and remove the background. You need to tell the client in your introduction what you can do for them. There is nothing in your portfolio. Please go through everything I have mentioned. You need to learn more about Upwork and how to write your profile, portfolio, and probably proposals.

Hey Ezeobialu,

I hope all is well, I had a quick look at your profile and here are a few pointers:

- You need to add more portfolio items

- You need to add a video if you can, that always helps.

- Add some certifications here if you can, they also help

- Add more items in your introduction

Hello Cynthia -- Sending prayers your way. Don't give up! 

Check out Upwork's Academy for Newbies and take the 101 Courses for working on Upwork. They will help you set up your profile for success, set your price, identify and market your skills, write winning proposals, etc.

I have been on the platform for a few weeks and secured several jobs after implementing the tools I learned in the courses. 

[#11]

Happy to have you on the platform!

[#12]

Thanks so much!! I am enjoying the journey.

Hi Cynthia N,

First of all, your price is so high for a newbie. Even experienced people's rate is not so high. 

The profile is also not complete.
