Rising Talent Badge

[#1]

Hello,

I read the article about the Rising Talent Badge and met all the requirements but still didn't get one. I have had 8 clients and my profile is looking pretty good. Am I doing something wrong or is it a normal thing?

Hi Saima,

Your profile looks good. You also have good experience.

But, Why are you not getting a job?

According to my experience, Many of Upwork's rules have changed recently. Because of that many people have entered here. Some jobs get 50+ proposals, Upwork doesn't show the exact number. I think this number is 100+. It is difficult for clients to review all proposals. I think they can review less than 10 proposals. 

Getting a first job on any freelance site is a bit difficult these days. Even if you have a good experience. If you are a fresher don't apply for all the jobs.

So, How to get a job?

According to my experience...

• Target some countries clients. Try to be online more when your clients are working.
• Try to apply as soon as the job is posted. Because at that moment they are also online. At that time you will have more chances to get job.
• If any old job received less than 10 proposals, you can apply for such jobs.
• If the client is interviewing other freelancers, avoid that job. (Initially only)
• If the client has sent invitations to other freelancers, avoid that job. (Initially only)
• Target as small clients as possible in the beginning.
• Apply immediately if any client has urgent work.
• Apply for 'Entry Level' jobs only. (Initially only)
• Make a minimum bid for the initial few jobs. (approx 1 to 5 jobs)

In Proposal

• Tell the client you read their job posting.
• Tell them about your experience in that job.
• If that client is older, search for the client's name in freelancer reviews. Enter that name in your proposal.
• Promise to work quickly. and etc.

I also check these lists before applying for a job post.

• Payment Method Verified.
• 4+ Clients Rating.
• 75%+ Hiring Rate.

Mostly, I will apply for 5-6 countries job posts only.
This is just my practice. So far I have not met any scammers. Also, I have successfully got a job this way.

It will take time, I don't know how much. It also depends on your skills.

Check out this article:

How to Create a Proposal That Wins Jobs

https://www.upwork.com/resources/how-to-create-a-proposal-that-wins-jobs

My Suggestion:
UpWork payment method is so good, you can bring in outside client's here too. This will help your profile grow.

This is my opinion. I hope this information helps you.

Hi, Upwork support.

I've been working on Upwork for 4 months, and my earnings are more than $1,000. Two jobs are completed, and three are in progress. 

Here, my question is, "Why am I not gaining the rising talent instead of all?"

Please clear my query.

Dear
I think, when you will complete 5 jobs, you may be given rising star. But
it's not full and final. Upwork has some criteria, when any freelancer
fullfils he/ she is awarded with badge
