Saqib,

 

Your profile looks good. The only problem is--it appears you are offering services for which you have no experience. Clients come to Upwork with specific needs and they look for freelancers who can meet those needs and get results.

 

When you say: "As an aspiring virtual assistant..." clients assume you are not a virtual assistant, but would like to be. Meaning, you lack the experience providing virtual assistance services, and they are taking a risk by spending money to hire you. Similarly, when you say: "...I'm thrilled to explore the dynamic world of cold email marketing. While I'm relatively new to this field,..." clients now know that you are a newbie--a fresher, and they may or may not be interested.

 

Since you have experience as a virtual assistant listed in your employment history, you might consider changing your tite and approach to virtual assistance, and offering cold email marketing as one of your services. Virtual assistance is highly competitive, but that is where you have experience.

 

If you stay with cold email marketing, you may need to add more information to your summary that goes further to explain how you will provide cold email marketing services. For example:

 

  • Talk about how you can personalize messages in cold email campaigns and why this is beneficial for engaging audiences.
  • Also, explain how you can and will comply with email marketing regulations, such as the CAN-SPAM Act in the U.S. or GDPR in Europe.
  • Talk about how you can uphold ethical standards and protect proprietary data/information and use responsible practices for data collection and analysis.

 

You should also include at least one email campaign sample in your portfolio.

 

Good luck!

Hi Clark,

I hope this message finds you well. Thank you for your kind review and thoughtful suggestions. I have made the recommended changes to my profile, except for including an email campaign sample in my portfolio.

Would you be willing to review my profile again?

Warm regards,
