Hi Promise,
I understand that you're having a hard time getting hired on Upwork. Don't worry. This happens to a lot of talent too. Some top freelancers have shared that work seems seasonal - there are months when jobs are very available, and there are some months when job listings for your category are thin. During this time, you may want to try updating your profile and your portfolio or upskilling to support your current skills. Don't lose hope just yet!
I visited your profile and have a few pointers you may want to apply if you don't mind. Firstly, I recommend editing your profile overview by removing "Dear Future Client" at the beginning of your overview. When clients browse profiles, they only see the first two lines of a freelancer's overview in their search results. You have to make sure that you can capture your client's attention with the first two lines of your overview. Make it about them, and highlight how you can resolve their problem instead of talking about yourself. Answer the question - "How can I help you with their problem?"
Also, you may want to check out these resources for great tips and insights on how to become more successful on Upwork:
