Hello team members, is anybody here who has ample knowledge and experience with Upwork and profile building? Kindly review my profile and help me get some freelance gigs, please. Thanks!

Hello Sir,
I have tried to add all the details and yes, there are no samples. I have no prior Upwork samples or work experience since am new to this platform.

You need to show results in order for clients to take you seriously as a Business Consultant/Coach. 🙂

Hey Sanjukta, please develop the Summary more and place into a shorter paragraph format and add your Portfolio. Thanks!

Yes sir, but how ? I am in this industry for the past 4 years but I am new to Upwork. I have nobody in my profession who have an Upwork account so that they can give me testimonials. I have 4-5 testimonials on LinkedIn though. I have strong portfolio of work and CV as well which I can't upload here on Upwork.

Add samples and lower your hourly rate. Nobody is willing to pay a newbie $37.50/hr.

Hello ma'am, I want to know how to include work samples here since I have nothing related to Upwork. Otherwise, I have 4 years of writing and editing experience (freelance and internships). I also have a strong CV, LinkedIn profile and work samples. Can I share my work links here ?

NO. You share them on your profile or when you apply to a job. If you don't know how to do that, you should enroll to Upwork's Academy.

Yes sir, I have shared my work samples while applying for freelance gigs. Thank you for your response.
