Hello Anthony, thank you for the work that you do. Kindly have a look at my profile. I am very much interested in getting more tips on how to improve it from you. I am new to Upwork. Thanks!

Hi Sir, 

 

Can I also get some feedback on my profile. I have had much luck with my offline assignments; Upwork, however, has not been really welcoming in terms of award of contracts. I really think I am doing something wrong. Your valued input would help me in improvising my profile in order to cater to the needs of the platform. 

 

Thanks. 

Hello Anthony

 

Can you kindly look at my profile? I sent several proposals, but they did not work.

I hope you can give me some suggestions to improve my chances of getting selected.

Hello, 

 

Kindly check through my profile if it needs more improvement. 

 

Thank you.

Gabriel,

This is easy: What are you selling?  You never say. You say you are a bookkeeper, accuntant. But then you stop. 

Imagine a movie camera is following you around. It films what you are doing. Now tell us what is on that film.

 

It would be something like, "I balance your books  ..." or "I manage your payroll ..." or "I audit your business ..." or "I make sure  you don't  bounce any checks ..." or "I keep you safe from acruing regulatory fees and taxes ..."

 

What is it that you actually do? That is the service you are selling. 

 

Doing that service fixes a problem that your clients have. Have they been bouncing checks? Have they been paying unnecessary fees? Have they been getting their payroll done late? What are the problems they have?

That's about all you need. You say "I am an expert at ______ who can solve your problem of ____." 

Fill in those  blanks. Write a half dozen sentences like that. It's ok to say "I solve this problem so you can sleep well at night without having to worry about your payroll." Be real with your clients. They have real problems. Name these problems and tell them that you are a great choice for getting those problems solved.

Please check my profile.

Anis,

 

Since you are doing well with great reviews, what you need is a boost.

Take your two best reviews and copy them and paste them up at the top of your write up, so they are the first thing people see when going to your profile.

Then take out the first sentence in which you say "Hi. I am Anis ____" and you give out your last name.

You don't need your name there at all. Your name is already clearly visible. This is work, not a party.  Aside from opening yourself up for scams by presenting your last name, you are missing the chance to get right to the point. If you were in a hurry which would you rather see, "Hi, I am Blah, Blah Blah" Or "I am fast, efficient Wordpress expert who can quickly give you content and images that will ehance your business. Let's see what I can do for you."

Your choice.


Thank you, Anthony.

Hi!

thanks in advance. 

Mahinoor,

You have probably noticed that I can be very picky. This is partly because your English could improve a little and I don't like to make changes without explaining why.

So: Stray thoughts: Your introductory video is very nice. I liked it. But it is long and it doesn't show off your skills at special effects and features very well. So keep it, but replace that with something shorter and fancier when you get a chance.

Your rate is too low. I understand this is done to attract the first couple of customers, but you could surely start at $15 per hour. It shows more confidence.

Your write up needs white space. It's too crowded together. You have to put in some space between paragraphs.

You should fix a few things. Don't use capital letters for TEXT and MY JOB. Write TEXT with a capital T to match your other listings and put MY JOB in lower case in italics. It will look better.

Write out Youtube ... instead of YT.

 

Erase this sentence: I have completed a professional video editing course from a local institution here in Dhaka.

Why do that? You are here as an expert. I am a writer. I don't say "I took a course in English grammar when I was young." That just looks odd. All video editors took a course somewhere, so just cross that sentence out. It looks childish.

 

Help full is one word: helpful. 

 

Erase "Also Don't hesitate to knock me on inbox" Replace that with "Don't hesitate to get in touch."

 

Cross out the rest and replace it with "I'm always available to talk ... would love to hear more about your project. Thank you!"

 

OK, those are pretty picky items, but your profile is really fine.  There's nothing wrong with it, but it will look more professional if you fix those little, nagging items.

 

So here is something that will really give you a boost: Cut and paste this and put it at the very top of your write up:

From an early Upwork review:

 

"Mahinoor was very diligent and professional, and made revisions without any trouble. I'd love to work with her again. Her video editing was top notch! Highly recommended!"

 

Cut and paste all that and put it up where everyone can see it. Put all of your write up below that. Why? There is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- that will bring in business more than a previous customer saying they would love to work with you again. 

Hope that helps.
