[8e252080]

Hi Upwork Community,

I’ve recently returned to Upwork after a few months of inactivity and I’m looking for advice on how to optimize my account to attract new job opportunities.

Background Information:
- I specialize in SEO and offer off page, on page, technical and local seo services. I also offer software development services.
- My Upwork account has been inactive for the past few months due to personal engagements.

Questions:
1. What are the first steps I should take to refresh and update my Upwork profile after a period of inactivity?
2. How can I effectively update my profile summary and title to reflect any new skills or experiences gained during my absence?
3. What tips do you have for revising my portfolio to ensure it highlights my best and most recent work?
4. How can I increase my visibility on Upwork and start receiving job invitations again?
5. Are there specific strategies for writing job proposals that can help re-establish my presence on the platform?
6. Any recommendations on utilizing Upwork’s tools and resources to get back on track quickly?

Any tips, success stories, or advice from experienced freelancers who have returned after a break would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
