Fatima,
To announce are new to Upwork and have only a limited amount of experience is to invite scammers, not clients.
See if you can rewrite that, but don't giveaway anything about being new to writing.

HN S,
There's a lot of competition in your field. You need to have someone edit your write-up and then write more. Put some passion into it. Try to describe your range of styles and how your designs have helped other people.
Good luck.

Alessandra,
First of all, please design a house for me. I think your work is brilliant--original and very cool.
However, with all that talent, I wonder why you can't say more about your work or something about how your previous clients appreciated your designs. Something ...
You have to write a little more so potential clients stay with you a bit longer. Most people don't make a hiring or money-spending decision that quickly.
Pretend the reader is a guest at your house. Try to make them comfortable. Brag a little. Keep it light and informative. Pretend they're visiting your studio and you're the hostess. You don't have to oversell, but a little bit of bragging is forgivable.

Tariro,
One problem with the Internet is people are so far away. That means people on Upwork are hiring, essentially, strangers, people they will never meet.
As such, it helps to just tell people one or two personal details. Something like, "I'm a big soccer fan who loves strawberry milkshakes," or maybe, "I'm an avid bike rider and love to cook."
Obviously, you have to think of your own personal details to share. But it doesn't matter what it might be; clients like that you sound friendly.

"Hi Sir" Can you please Looke at my profile, and Tell Me 'What I need To Do to Get My First Job?

Siddhi,
You caught me at a very bad time. I'm just back from the hospital and haven't looked at the Upwork site in quite some time.
Really quickly, your profile is fine ... except (there's always an except) you go on and on about yourself and forget to mention your clients very much.
Clients don't want to see your skillis; they want to see what you can do for them. As such, "I am skilled at Adobe photoshop" turns into "I am an expert at Adobe Photoshop who can put dazzle into your marketing and branding, draw in new customers and turn casual visitors into long-term customers."
See the difference? You talk about your skills, and that's fine, but you have to turn the corner. The corner is a way to get the client to believe you understand their problems. If you can convince clients you understand them ... that's a very powerful step in the right direction.
Good luck.

Hi Anthony,
I appreciate your help from before, and I was hoping to pick your brain over again. I believe I need some advice on crafting better proposal language when propose on client offerings. I feel like I should be getting a few more interviews than I am, and I cannot help but wonder if my fee is too high or I am saying something off. I can send sample proposals if that helps. I really appreciate your generosity.
Respectfully,
Conor
