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

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

Hey Anas,

 

I had a look at your profile and I feel that you need to spend some time filling out the rest of the sections. Please do that and when ready, I would be happy to have a look and give suggestions. I also think you should lower your rate initially.

Hey Cynthia,

I've seen your profile seems good but I'd advise you to keep your hourly rate down since you've no experience or work history here on Upwork.

I know it's possible that you're a brilliant and hardworking person having a extensive experience outside but you really need to get some clients first on lower rate and make your profile strong.

 

Then You're good to go 😊

Wish you good luck,

Samran

Hey Akeem,

 

1. add some portfolio items

2. add a video if you can, make sure its a horizontal video

3. try to get some testimonials from outside clients

4. expand on your intro, talk more about how you can help clients

5. look in to some of the certifications that apply to you and take them

6. you need to go and submit proposals and try to get some smaller jobs

In general, it looks good, some thiings to look at

 

1. add a video if you can. every little bit helps (i also need to do this)

Hey Kinza,

 

I like your profile. I do think you can improve on a few things.

 

1. add a video if you can.

2. i feel you have way to many services you offer in your descriptions, cut back on those.

3. add more portfolio items

4. add more portfolio items if you can.

5. work to get the reviews and build a history

6. get clients you have worked with in the past to leave you a testimonials

What can we do about these people that want free work ? You do it right, then they want a refund.
