Get Profile Feedback from Experienced Freelancers on Upwork

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

Mubeen,

 

Don't take this the wrong way, but why would you define yourself as a good leader given the point that freelancers work for themselves? Who do you expect to lead? 

Clients care about the service they are buying. That's what they are spending their money on. 

A client doesn't necessarily care what software you use; they probably only care if what you do fits the operating system they have. So instead of saying "I know these software applications," what you should say is "I will make sure to use software that is compatible with your operating system."

 

The overall point is that the profile should be a sales pitch about your service or services and talk to clients on their level. What are you selling and how will your customers benefit from buying that from you? 

Make sure you sound friendly and confident. But focus mostly on the service(s) and how clients will benefit. The rest will fall into place.

Stepan,

One sentence? That's all you've got? 

 

Would you hire someone on the strength of one sentence? That seems unlikely at best.

Mrinal, 

 

Maybe I'm being dense, but what services are you selling? You should spell that out. 

 

One way to think that through is to describe the problem or problems you can solve. Finish this sentence, "I can help you ......."

 

clients are hiring you to fix a problem or problems. That's what your profile should focus on.

Carlo,

Look around at other Upwork profiles, searching for ones with high ratings, high earnings, great client reviews.

Your write up should be confident, friendly and edifying. What I see is overconfidence and unfriendly. "Don't ask me for conventional jobs." What is that all about? Do you think bossing people around before you've even met them is going to help you get contracts? Besides, you got here, what, yesterday, and you already feel you can turn down work? Even if that were the case, why would you say that? If you don't want a conventional job (whatever that might be) then don't apply for them. 

You posted a very negative, lazy write up, in my opinion.

Hello Carlo,

Please, would you mind checking out my profile?

Mansaray,

You're intrductory video is terrific. Did you put that together yourself?

 

What I recommend is you look at a few graphic designer profiles, seeking out ones that show high earnings and great feedback reviews. See if you can find a few ideas from them about how to expand your write-up, which is very sparse.

Good luck.

like your write up. Unfortunately, my technical skills are not at your level, so it's hard for me to comment further. 
still, I liked what I saw. And you've got great reviews. Impressive.
