Hey Raman, I will have a look in the next 1-2 days

[raman477]

Thanks Mate

[virtualbrix]

My Pleasure. Feel free to ask any additional questions here.

[raman477]

Do you reccommed to boost our proposals and Coz I think a lot of competition now a days in boosting proposals. Do clients even go through all the profiles who submitted proposals. If you know anything in detail, Please help me!

I have wasted lot of connects in boosting and didn't got a single response from last one month

[virtualbrix]

Boosting is OK within reason, I would only Boost a proposal which is a "Perfect" fit for my skillset. Clients will review non boosted proposals but not as much as boosted ones. Personally, I focus on sending out a LOT of proposals and dont worry much about boosting.

[raman477]

Thanks Bro, Have you checked my profile, Please let me know any improvement needed in Profile overview, photo, portfolio, etc.

I'm also focusing on sending proposals with never give up attittude.

Hi samer!
You are a gift to this platform and an inspiration. Can you check my profile if you have a moment?
Thanks

[virtualbrix]

Hey Zeeshan,

I appreciate the kind words. I will have a look in the next couple days.

[virtualbrix]

Hey Zeeshan,

The profile looks good but I would limit the size of the introduction. This would be a good start. Also add a video if you can and make sure that all other sections are filled out. I see you have certifications so that is great. The KEY at this point now is for you to go ahead and submit proposals and its a volume game.

[virtualbrix]

Let me know when you make the changes to your profile

[virtualbrix]

Let me know when you make the changes and I will check it out on here

Hi Sam,

I could really use your help and advice. I've been on Upwork for over 6 months, but I've only managed to land one job despite doing everything right. I even spent more money on connects, but I still haven't had any luck. Please, I need some advice that could really help.
By the way, could you please take a look at my profile on Upwork? Here's the link: https://www.upwork.com/fl/~0175fc4da5fab4189c

Thanks,

I will have a look and no worries. Thank You

[virtualbrix]

Hey Ilyass,

Your profile does not look bad but you should expand on the additional items

1. add video to your profile

2. add certifications if you can, that will be helpful

3. the introduction is way to long, keep it simple from here

4. continue to add items to your portfolio

5. submit a LOT of proposals, LOTS!

6. from there, you want to make sure that you do a great job and get great reviews

[virtualbrix]

I will reply to everyone here in the next couple days. Excited to help
