Hi Avinash,

 

Thank you for your message. I've reviewed your profile and have some suggestions that might help you win work:

  • In your title, avoid generic descriptions, such as “hard-working” or “reliable”. You can touch on these points in your Overview.
  • The beginning of your profile overview displays in prospective client search results and it’s your first 200-character pitch. So, your first sentence should include clear, relevant information about your primary skill sets and expertise. 
  • You mention offering a "Professional Team." Clients usually expect the work to be completed by the person they hire. If you are working with a team, you might consider an agency account.
  • Your written English skills are strong and you are easy to understand. However, I did see a few minor errors. If you'd like to add extra polish, you might want to consider using Grammarly. I use this myself and really like it because it's free and it offers a Chrome add-on so it works in webmail, messages, proposals, and more.

To give a clear impression you’re the person the client wants to talk to, here are some additional tips for writing a great Overview.

 

I hope this helps!


Cheers,
Mike

There are millions of people in the same situation, which makes for huge competition on platforms such as this one.
