Something like Brand Design and Logo. Designer. Is short, general and clear. Use point (dot) between words and not |

Unfortunately, Upwork is becoming a difficult platform to get jobs. 

It was better some years ago (I worked here for 12 years) but now also for me is very difficult to get a good job, there are scammers, cheap works, a lot of freelancers wanting to accept low bids, or boosting bids, that it means they are paying Upwork for sending a proposal instead of receiving money for completing a job.

You are right, we are posting this problem for a long time, but there is not a solution coming from Upwork. 

Keep trying, but try other platforms and LinkedIn.

Can you refer me to other platforms!! I mean can you refer me to a LinkedIn client to work with me??

You cannot seek work or referrals in the forum.

 

I notice that you use the word "tendentious" over and over again in your profile overview. You might want to look up this word, since it doesn't make sense in the context that you're using it. (If you meant to say "tenacious", that doesn't really make sense, either.)

Really Glad you look into it

Anyway, I suggest you to improve your Title in your presentation. Write a brief title with 2 or 3 words that are your best skills, separate the words. Short and clear.

Well here is the thing.   Freelancing is a business where you have to invest time money, and price yourself such that you are an attractive buy who is not very cheap.  Not all businesses survive.  Only you can decide how much you want to invest your time and money.  Perhaps if this is a cold time, you may want to take a break.  Think through and come back.
