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

👉 Attained 200+ 5-star reviews.

Dear Samer B. 

Nice Motivation for me. Can you review my profile as well?

I have received top rated, but after some time it disappeared.

My JSS reduced to 86, but I have 3 jobs completed with feedback of 5.

What can be problem?

How it can be resolved?

Regards 

[virtualbrix]

Sure, I will have a look. The JSS is based on private feedback

[655be748]

Please,

How I can see this private feedback is?

Hi Sam. Your experience is impressive! It is commendable that you decided to share your knowledge. 👍

Could you look at my profile being I am a beginner to get job  and suggest what can be improved and Fulfiled ?

[655be748]

Dear Melese.

The profile should be more attractive to get attention from clients.

[m_terrazas]

Faraz has been very gentle with you.
I'm not going to be.

Your profile is now nothing and you will only attract scammers.
I don't know if there will be a lot of work in this language pair, but it's good to try.
First the title. They won't find you like this, I'm afraid, plus it may not be entirely true, the best? "English to Amharic Translator." may be more accurate.

Your presentation. It is poorly written. It is assumed that your level of English is "Native or Bilingual". I'm sorry but I don't believe it. Both the text here and in your profile deny it. Don't lie about your skills, it will cause problems.

No matter how much you say you are the best, you have to prove it. Furthermore, repeating it so much gives a very bad image.

And you should have a portfolio with work that YOU have done.

Hi Sam,

I really value your insights. As I’m new on Upwork, I would appreciate any suggestions you might have on how to make my profile more effective. Could you take a look at my profile and let me know what improvements I could make? Thank you in advance!🙏

[virtualbrix]

Hey Latif, I will have a look

[virtualbrix]

Hey Latif,

I had a look at the profile and it looks good, few notes: 

1. add a video if you can

2. portfolio looks good, the more you can add, the better

3. add certifications if you can, those are helpful

4. you need to focus on getting some smaller jobs, do good work, attract feedback

Focus on these for now.

[latifugurlu]

Thank you for advance!

Hi Samer B, Congratulations on your very real success on the Upwork platform. I'm not exactly new here, but nowhere near your level of accomplishment. I'm currently attempting to optimize my profile to generate as many new leads as possible. When you have a moment, would you please have a look at my profile and share any insights or tips you may have to improve my chances. https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/ellishalliii - Warm regards, Ellis.

[virtualbrix]

Hey Ellis,

I appreciate the kind words and no worries, I will have a look and provide some feedback!

Hey Ellis,

Nice looking profile, some quick notes: 

1. Certifications. Do you have any?

2. I like the video and may be improve the profile picture?

3. Portfolio looks great

4. Feedback looks great, JSS also great.

I think from here, the goal is to basically just submit a ton of proposals. The profile is in good shape!

Hello! While reading through the threads here, I couldn’t find an answer to my specific situation on Upwork. As a beginner with years of experience in my field, I’ve boosted my profile twice. The first time was successful, and I received two invitations per day (my limit). However, after boosting my profile again and earning the availability badge, I haven’t received any invitations. Could this be due to unresponded invitations? I appreciate your guidance. Thank you

[virtualbrix]

Always respond to your invitation, whether you accept them or not.
