[#1]

I really need help.

Freelancers cannot help you win jobs here on Upwork. We can provide suggestions and advice, but there is no definitive way to win a job for all proposals submitted. I have a few suggestions:

With six (6) years of graphic design experience, your hourly rate is too low. I know that rates vary depending on location, but the other Bangladeshi graphic designers I see with the same amount of experience are between $5/hour - $10/hour.

Also, be sure to select your Data Entry/Lead Generation profile when submitting proposals for lead generation work.

Finally, you should add more examples to your portfolio. Clients will expect to see more examples of a graphic designer's work.

Ok

Hi there,

Getting started on platforms like Upwork can be challenging, but here are a few tips to improve your chances:

1. **Complete Your Profile:** Ensure your profile is detailed and highlights your skills, experience, and relevant portfolio pieces.

2. **Craft Custom Proposals:** Tailor your proposals to each project, showcasing how your skills align with the client's needs.

3. **Start Small:** Consider taking on smaller projects to build your reputation and gain reviews.

4. **Network:** Engage in Upwork's community forums and connect with other freelancers to gain insights and advice.

5. **Be Patient:** Success may take time, so don't give up. Keep refining your approach based on feedback and results.

Remember, persistence pays off. Keep improving your profile, proposals, and skills, and you'll increase your chances of landing your first project. Good luck!

1. **Complete Your Profile:** Ensure your profile is detailed and highlights your skills, experience, and relevant portfolio pieces.

You need to take "your" advice.

How did you become so wise in how to use the platform without a single job and no profile? Why would others take your advice about Upwork, when clearly you have no experience?

For anyone using this or any platform, not to mention freelancing in general, you must possess certain qualifications in order to succeed. The first, and most important, is marketable skills. "Speed typing/reading proficiency" are not skills. Your profile is almost nonexistent, and it's obvious you haven't read or aren't following the rules.

If you want to be a freelancer, you must bring skills to the marketplace. This is not the place to develop basic skills. Freelancing means you are responsible for everything you do. It's up to you if you are successful. Data entry is a flooded category, and you will find it difficult to find work with so much competition.

Read this post, and follow every link. It will take you to Upwork resources, and excellent advice on scams from Wes. All you will find with your current profile is scammers. You can start with a photo of your face to have a real profile.

I do not recommend people with no marketable skills try to freelance. Why? Because I have seen way too many lose it all. In my opinion, you need to develop skills before you try to freelance. I would suggest taking some basic course in freelancing and try to find something more to offer that won't relegate you to low paying jobs and scams.

Sukhamay, you need to read this post and follow every link. You must learn how to use the platform correctly and how to establish a professional profile before you look for or accept jobs. Your profile has one sentence, and it is not going to get clients.

I suggest you that you spend some time thinking about your marketable skills. While we all have skills, not everyone has the skills to freelance, and it's not for everyone. Data entry and typing are flooded fields with many, many scams and low-paying jobs. Spend some time with books, skilled professionals, online, and all the other ways available to explore skills and jobs. It's wise that you want to improve your situation, and I encourage you to think about what you can do, what you can learn to do, and what you want to do.

There are many free courses through libraries, community organizations, the Internet, etc. I would do everything for free, until you find a specific field to pursue. Beware of scams, on Upwork, and everywhere else. Many people offer 'success' classes, etc. that are worthless. Steer clear of Facebook, YouTube, and similar sources for information. There is so much garbage online, with people telling lies about their success or even who they are, that it isn't safe until you have a great deal of experience.

Use the Academy link at the top of the page. You need to learn how to use the platform before you are scammed. You can start with an appropriate photo. No one will hire you with your current profile.
