Hello Good Evening, 

I am new to Freelancing on Upwork. Can I get any tips? How is my bio?

[#3]

Hello Andrea G can you help me to get perfect and give feedback to my profile.

[#5]

Hi, I am a qualified and an experienced graphic designer. I have many years experience and a large variety of files of work done. I have worked remotely before, but never online on a site like this. I understand the way the site works but when it comes to pick up the job I find that my portfolio on the site does not have an example of that type of job yet. So the client does not have an Idea of my experience. Before, I worked face to face with clients, they knew and trusted me, so there was no problem in getting the work done.

I am also not familiar with the bidding system and how I can land the job. I believe by starting with a small job, I can get my bearings and then move on.

Jeannie,

Pleased to make your aquaintance.

Here is the bare bones version of your write-up:

I am a qualified graphic designer and have a wide knowledge and experience of the practical application and production of design. 

I design everything from your Business ID - logo, office stationery and forms, letterheads and business cards to signage, window graphics, vehicle graphics, informative posters, brochures, telescopic banners, flags, gazebos, parasols etc.

I also design book covers, illustrations, diagrams, charts, flowcharts, maps, etc. If you have an event or gala dinner/wedding; I can design the monogram, invitations, menus, programmes, name tags, place cards, table seating poster, welcome poster, confetti cones, water and wine bottle labels, gift box packaging, designs for decor, selfie frame, posters etc. It can involve a theme if you like.

A mood board can be created beforehand. This helps us match the mood you want. I have a great deal of experience working with event planners.

I also design interior spaces. If you have home or shop decor in mind, let me know. My experiences here have put me in a space to offer this service to you.

Thank you for reading my overview. Please let me know how I can assist you.

Start with that. It has all the marketing you need and none of the comments on the importance of art, which are unnecessary. Your name is also in bold letters at the top of your page, so you don't have to say "Hi, My name is. (Also, it is advised that you don't use your last name in your profile.)

You can add a little flourish here and there, just a tag or two that shows your stylish personality. But if you do so, please keep in mind the great newspaper editor who said the best way to write an article was to write a fancy intro, write the bare bones of the story and then complete the thing with a grandiose conclusion. Then take a pair of scissors and cut out the opening and the ending. That's how to write a good newspaper article. 

All that said .. .there are 800,000 graphic designers on Upwork and you have all the experience needed to try to differentiate yourself from the pack. So, if you wan to do that, I can make a suggestion or two there as well.

Mannish, 

This is a competitive market. There are accountants here with years of experience. You shouldn't project yourself as someone willing to learn. This is the show, not a place to practice.

Hi guys. 

Can anyone please have a look at my profile before I start looking for work? I want it to be 100% before I start applying for jobs. I don't have any prior working experience, I'm trying to start off as a freelancer. 

Thanks in advance for your feedback. Have a great weekend.

[#15]

Can  anyone tell me is my profile is fully optimized or it need to optimize.

Please Help me and is there any community member how can help me in my proposal?

[#16]

Hello,
Although I have been on upwork for a while now, I feel that my profile is not fully optimised.
I have several professions and that makes it difficult to cover all the aspects of each one.

I appreciate your comments.

[#17]

Hello Upwork Community,

Any advice about my profile? I started 2 weeks ago my freelancing journey!

[#18]

Luna,

You have to imagine what a client is thinking when they get to Upwork. They think, "I need to hire a writer," or an illustrator or a translator or an architect." Nobody comes here thinking, "I need to hire an eclectic creator."

You have to hone in in a service you can provide, one you can be sell in a competitive market. I think empathy is a very sweet commodity, but it isn't very marketable.

[#19]

Hi Andrea, i hope you are doing great. Andrea can you please review my profile and let me know if there is missing part in my profile.

I will be waiting for your response. Have a good day. Thanks

It is my second week in Upwork and I am finding it very interesting but a bit challanging to pitch the jobs. Your support would be greatly appreciated.

[#24]

Sarina, 

Welcome.

There's so much competition that you have to be stronger, more assertive. Start with this statement "I am a social media expert with a degree in psychology who can ______________  ...."

Finish that sentence and keep going. Focus not on yourself but on the services you provide and how they benefit your customers.

It has to have more punch!

[#25]

Hi ! Hope that everything is going well. I would appreciate some feedback on my profile. Thanks for helping me grow.

I would like to get some feedback on my profile. Specifically, how it appears to those looking for finance professionals. 

Thanks
