I have been on Upwork (previously ELance / Odesk) for 12 years (my anniversary is in December : )
I want to GIVE BACK!
Here is what I am thinking:
I see many of you are new to the platform and are struggling to:
1. Setup the "Perfect Profile"
2. Putting together a strong proposal
3. Searching for jobs that fit your skill set and submitting your proposal (identify them)
4. Understanding the new Boost Feature and why it may be important
5. Follow up with potential clients
6. Communicating and other details after the job has been awarded.
My goal is to help 10 people a week, giving each one a 30 mins zoom call to ask me any question they would like.
My goal in 2023 is to help 1,000 people. I have been blessed in so many ways, time to give back,
I don't have a website, I don't have a YouTube channel, I have nothing to promote. I just want to help you : )
To start. Just reply to this thread and request to be added to "My Network" on Upwork.
I am excited to see where this goes.
* I will choose 10 per week, please make sure your profile is at least mostly complete. I can't help you if you don't help yourself.
* We can decide on a time together, I know many of you are in different time zones, I work a LOT, so we will make it work : )

Hello Samer!
You are just the nicest guy around. To prove that I've read the brief, could you add me to 'My Network'?
I'm not a newbie - though I sometimes feel like one...

Hi Samer:
Thanks for taking inititave for giving back, I liked it.
Can you please tell me about this point in your mentioned points "Understanding the new Boost Feature and why it may be important"
Regards.
Sep 26, 2023 09:56:25 AM by Samer B
It is important because of the impact it has done, things have changed and now its more of an auction in a way, you bid higher, you are placed near the top of the list. Essentially, Pay to Play!

Dear Samer:
Thanks for your reply... Agreed.
Its very important point which you have told.
Regards.
Sep 26, 2023 02:03:52 PM by Samer B
To me, I like to boost only when I feel really good about a potential project, otherwise, I personally avoid using them
Sep 26, 2023 02:06:51 PM by Samer B
If you ask me to add you, its all good, i will. Please make sure that your profile is public, otherwise, I have no other way to add you.
