Hi Raveesha,
Thank you for reaching out to us. I understand that you are not getting any profile views and invites. Please know that we are not privy to how clients choose which profiles they're viewing and which freelancers they invite to apply to their listings. We can only say that the search results are rotated every two weeks to give every freelancer a fair chance of getting their profiles noticed.
We highly encourage freelancers to increase their chances of getting invited for interviews by submitting proposals. Technically, this is still the original structure of the marketplace: clients post job listings, and freelancers submit their applications. Although, if the client wants to send invites to qualified freelancers, they may do so by searching for freelancers who have the qualifications needed for the role. Hence, we encourage you to update your skills and improve your profile.
You may want to try to create Project Catalogs based on the skills and services you offer. This is a new method for our freelancers to have clients come to them, giving freelancers the opportunity to create ‘projects’ that are pre-scoped with price, deliverables, and timeline. Clients can then search for these projects via a series of category pages (specific skills) and purchase them in just a few clicks.
You may also want to consider upskilling and learning new skills to increase your marketability. Competition is getting tough not only in Upwork but also on other platforms, especially since most people nowadays opt to work remotely. One possible reason might be also the fewer demands for jobs that fall under your selected skill set. You can also revisit the skills you have selected in your profile, only if applicable.
We also highly encourage you to continue to work to become a Top-Rated or Top Rated Plus Freelancer once you get enough recent work history. Having these badges in your profile will increase your invite and hire rate.
