Hello Ravikant,

 

I looked over your profile and everything looks good. The first sentence in your overview/summary is exactly the thing to say to let clients now how you can help them. The only suggestion I have for your summary is to move the paragraph about work deliverables to the top and move the client satisfaction paragraph towards the bottom. The reason for this is because the work deliverables paragraph provides clients good information, and you want them to read it early in your summary. Clients often don't read entire summaries, so it's best to put good information up top. Like this:

 

I'm an experienced Professional SEO Expert who has the skills and knowledge necessary to help drive traffic to your site and increase your online visibility.

 

As part of my work deliverables, I make it a point to keep my clients up to date on the status of their projects on a weekly basis by sharing weekly reports. To ensure the project's success, I always follow the criteria for utilizing efficient SEO methods. My constant use of these strategies has yielded incredible outcomes over time.

 

My Expertise will be in the following:

✔ (your list here is good)

 

To provide the best level of client satisfaction, I am always open to new challenges and developing strategic action plans in response. I've always believed in lifelong learning, that was helped me acquire and retain the information and skills I need to compete in the ever-changing digital economy.

 

I use TOP-RATED SEO Tools, such as Ahrefs | SEMrush | SERank | Moz Pro | and ScreamingFrog. Thanks for viewing my profile and please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

 

*I don't work on adult and gambling sites

 

Your portfolio, skill categories, project catalog, and employment history look good.

 

Finally, a lot of freelancers—even Top-Rated and Top-Rated Plus—are finding it difficult to get responses to their proposals. Keep applying for jobs that match your qualifications/skills by writing great cover letters--you will eventually win some!

Hi Khedri,

 

Your profile looks good, but I have two suggestions:

 

Portfolio: Add a few more samples of translations to your portfolio. If you have any audio/voice translations, you can add those too.

 

Skills: You need to add more skill categories to your skills list. I suggest you add English to Arabic Translation, Arabic to English Translation, English to French Translation, French to English Translation and the two "Arabic/French" translations.

 

After you make these minor updates, start applying for jobs that match your qualifications by writing great cover letters!

Hi Sandra,

 

I reviewed your profile and I think it looks good. There are no huge issues with your information or content that would keep clients from hiring you.

 

A lot of freelancers are sending dozens of proposals and not getting feedback; it's not only you. Keep applying for jobs that match your qualifications by writing great cover letters. Write a custom cover letter based on the client's job:

 

1) Acknowledge the job you are applying for.

2) Highlight your qualifications.

3) Address specific points in the job by explaining how you can solve their problem

4) Request the client reach out to discuss or request an Upwork Zoom call to go through their requirements.

 

Good luck!

I am not  sure if the profile I clicked on was yours:

But it stated it was set to private.

Then that limits clients, and freelancers to view and help you.

Hi Sandra, I too am needing help with my profile, and saw your post here, but when I clicked the link to see your profile I couldn't see it because you are set to private.  If you set it to public then you would be visible.  That could change everything! Just FYI

 

I have the same problem please help me too.

Hi Sarath,

 

Welcome to Upwork.

 

I looked through your profile and noticed you have good content, but I think you need to make your summary more client-focused. You summary mentions your experience, your likes, and the things you're passionate about, but clients only care about your experience. In fact, the amount of concern over your experience is very litte. Clients care about results and they want to know how you can help them.

 

Here are some suggestions that might help improve your profile:

 

Title: Capitalize the first letter of each word in your title; it will help it look more professional and stand out: Concept Artist, Illustrator, Graphic Designer. The same applies to your Graphic Design and Illustration specialized profiles:

 

  • Graphic Design Expert | Brand Identity
  • Illustrator

 

Overview/Summary: As mentioned above, your summary talks a lot about "you" when clients are concerned about themselves. Clients want to know how you will leverage your skills and qualifications to provide your services, and how that benefits them.

 

You can revise your summary to be more client-focused by being more assertive, removing the "me" content, and making your existing content about the client. For example:

 

I'm a highly skilled Concept Artist and Illustrator who believes in developing vibrant, thought-provoking concept art and designs. I can create a variety of high-quality designs: from vehicles, buildings, and furniture to creatures, characters and logos, I create art that brings your ideas to life.

 

I am driven by the opportunity to convey a captivating story through my creations. I firmly believe that your design should not only be visually appealing, but also serve as a solution to a problem. Consequently, I always strive to find elegant solutions that solve problems beautifully.

 

I have considerable experience in graphic design with a focus on advertising. It has equipped me with the skills to build brand identities and contribute to the growth of emerging businesses and long-standing organizations.

 

Let's work together to create something wonderful. Contact me to discuss.

 

The rest of your profile looks good.
