Giving Back ( I want to help ) - 10 People

[virtualbrix]

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 : )

Hi Samer!

First of all, it's nice to e-meet you and I think what you're doing is admirable. 

I've actually been on Upwork for a while, but the past couple of years or so (since Connect was first introduced actually), I have been away from it. Although after getting back to Upwork I've read the latest changes and stuff, I find it a bit harder these days to land proposals and get hired.

Is your offer up for a returning veteran like me as well? If it is, I'd be really grateful. You don't know me, but previously in life (including right now actually), I've helped some people in setting up the basics of their Upwork profile. Thus, if you're open to help me and see where I can improve, I'd definitely pay it forward!

Please let me know.

Thank you!

Kind regards,
Yoshua

[virtualbrix]

Hey Yoshua,

Welcome back and yes, this offer is for anyone and everyone. I tried to add you to my network but your profile is private.

[yoshuayasmin]

Hi Samer,

Thanks for your kind reply. Sorry I didn't realize the private mode and for this slow reply - a relative passed away. I have now activated Plus so my profile is no longer private (previously it was set private because it's been a while since I last scored my Upwork job).

Would you be so kind to try and add me again please and let me know if I'm doing this right? As I mentioned, I'm a returning user, so there might be a thing or two that I missed.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Yoshua

[virtualbrix]

Hey Yoshua,

Sorry to hear about your relative, I still see that your profile is private. Excited to connect and help.
