Get Profile Feedback from Experienced Freelancers on Upwork

Hi Community!

 

Getting started on Upwork can take a lot of work and focus. To help make this process a little easier, we’ve created this post where you can request feedback on your profile. The community is full of experienced Upwork freelancers who are passionate about helping others. These users will review your profile and provide feedback based on their experience.

 

If you’re interested in requesting help, make sure your profile visibility is not set to “Private” and then reply below. 

 

We’re excited to see how Community members can continue to help each other to grow!

 

Note: A previous version of this post was as the number of responses made it difficult to read and navigate. If you had not received a response yet to a request you made, please post again in this thread.


Cheers,
Mike

Hello Promise,

 

I Love your name!  You're very lucky and I would try to market yourself as such.  After reading your profile, I was skeptical about your capabilities though.  Personally, I would change the entire thing.  I am writing this to help you and want you to excel - please take my advice as one person's opinion.  I am writing with care and trying to help. 🙂

 

Let me explain.

 

When people search for your service, you come upon a search result list.  What keywords would people use to find you?  If you are struggling with this, then I suggest hiring somebody from Upwork that might be able to help.  For example, would they use the words "flyer designer" to find you?  Are there industry terms that you know people search for?  If so, use these words in your title.

 

When I searched for "Flyer and Poster Designer" this is what I see:

https://www.upwork.com/ab/profiles/search/?q=Flyer%20And%20Poster%20Designer&user_pref=2

 

You have 2 lines of text to grab somebody's attention that is very busy and trying to find somebody to help them.  The customer is not going to go through every profile.  You need to catch their attention within the first two lines of text.

 

YOU have an amazing name and a great profile picture.  That would catch my eye.  Now you need to create a better title and first two lines of text.

 

You have an amazing portfolio!  You're very talented.  Write with confidence and explain what you do, why the customer should contact you and what you will provide.

 

Creative Flyer and Poster Designer with two years of experience in the industry. I help clients reach their target audience with attention-grabbing designs which in turn convert and boost sales. While I offer value through my services I hope to grow and explore more of my skills as I scale through this challenging industry.

 

In my opinion, talking about how you are going to 'overcome challenges' and only have a few years of experience will not help you gain clients.  

 

I suggest something like:

I am a Creative Flyer and Poster Designer who produces exceptional quality work extremely fast.  I will produce several drafts for you to choose from and adjust the final draft to exceed your exectations.  I literally Promise 💙

 

Then when the person clicks into your profile, they can see the next lines.

 

Something like:

 

After you message me, I will be in direct communication with you to understand your vision and the end result.  If you have existing images or an idea from a graphic you've seen before, please send them as well.  

 

I have a lot more work availble to show you during an interview process.  Please check out some of my more recent work in my portfolio below.

 

I use Adobe InDesign, .......... and will provide you with blah blah blah files.

 

I Promise to always be available and attentive to detail.

I wish you prosperity,

Adam

Hello Upwork community, I want some sort of suggestion. My profile is not ranking, I will complete my profile 100% and also optimize it. I will send a lot of proposals and still not get any job. Can you please check my profile and give me some suggestions on how can improve things more. I will be waiting for your response.

Asma, 

 

pardon my writing with one thumb ... I'm not very good at that. However, I can say with confidence that I have read a few hundred profiles and have yet to see one as convincing or elegant as yours. 

I recommend you raise your rate right away. It's an expression of confidence and an Upwork profile has very few chances to express confidence, which is paramount for digital marketing (given you never meet your online clients face to face and if you're not confident why would they be?). 

 

I have other thoughts to share, about freelancing, but as far as your profile goes, that's as far as we go on just one thumb. 

Bottom line: I'm very impressed.

Hello Antonio!

 

Thanks for this initiative!

 

It would help me a lot if you could take a look at my profile and suggest some improvements.

 

I work very hard every day sending proposals for months and I have only achieved a small job.
