Your profile is not good. You have one salary sheet example, which is good, but your job description itself doesn't stand out. What I see when I look at it is yet another newb willing to work for peanuts because they don't believe in themselves. If someone is looking for very low paying data entry work, you might be one of the thousand he or she considers.
You want to be successful in data entry? One, raise your rate. Two say "I can type X words per minute with a 98% accuracy rate." Right now you're not standing out. You're just another person calling themselves a hard worker while providing low-cost content fodder. Be better and advertise yourself as such.

Hello Stephanie L
Can you also check my profile for what's the issue so i have same problem.
Please tell me what should i improve to do the best profile.
Best Regards

@ Rakesh -- Your profile claims that your English is "Native/Bilingual." Any communications that you have with a potential client (assuming that the communications are executed in the same dubious English as you use in your post, above) will make a client doubt the validity of that claim, and such doubt will typically make a client dismiss your profile generally, on the basis that the information contained therein is not to be trusted.

How in the world was your profile ever accepted? There is nothing on it other than two poor test results?
No overview, no portfolio. Nothing!

This is horrendous to speak to another human being this way. Constructive criticism is useful feedback - your response is bullying.

Hello Petra R,
Could you please, investigate my profile and inform me whether my profile is fit for work?
You can see, I joined Upwork a week ago proposed for 6/7 jobs. Should I continue like this?
If yes, I will buy Connects and try my level best to get my first job.
What improvement should I do to get my first job?
Regards
Md. Shakhawat Hossain

Wow - Ive never read through the UpWork forums until just now. I am shocked that they allow this form of communication! Just as I said to the woman above - this is not constructive - just bullying.

So much for how highly you would appreciate advice.
If you consider constructive advice "bullying" you won't last 5 minutes in freelancing.

Here is some constructive advice: Your profile may not contain information (such as the name of your business) that allows clients to contact you directly. Including this type of information in your profile is a violation of Upwork's TOS.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience, Baber. I checked your profile and would recommend that you remove the skills that are not related to the programming, and developer job category such as - Ms Word, Ms Excel, Ms PowerPoint, Data Entry. Remember that clients are not looking for generalists, and it would be best if you can focus on your skills in the developing field, rather than adding skills that have no relation to your job category.
You may also want to try beefing up your profile overview, and sharing more about your skills, and experience. In the past 6-years in this field, what projects did you finish, how good are you at the skills you mentioned? I would also suggest that you add up more portfolio items so that your client can have a look at what sort of projects you have completed in each skill.
You may want to read up on the resources we have compiled here for more tips on how you can improve your profile, and your proposals on Upwork. Good luck!

You just copied and pasted an incredibly boring and meaningless overview text from the Internet. Your portfolio is meant to showcase your best work (if that is "your best work, you'll struggle) and you claim to have fluent English skills which you a) don't need in your category and b) don't have.
Clients looking at your profile find nothing that makes you stand out from the other 50 to 100 people who apply to their jobs. So why would they hire you over all the other people who applied?

Thankyou for your concern.
So, how could i make my profile strong? I am jobless and i need work
because i am the one in family who earn money.
Research other freelancers who offer the same skills and learn from their profiles, take many tests, don't rely on freelancing for your sole income, it is not reliable even for the most successful ones.
