Muhammad Dilshad,

It can take some time before a freelancer wins his first job on Upwork. Many freelancers send 20, 30 or more proposals before getting jobs. There are so many freelancers here, so competition for jobs is high.

Having a work history and great job success score is important, but having marketable skills and a good profile can help you win jobs.

Here are a few things I see in your profile:

1) In your title, I believe "handing" should be "handling." Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Shopify A-to-Z Account Handling Flat File A+ FBA

2) There is good information in your overview/summary, but it is also starts with information clients do not need (i.e., your name, mentioning other marketplaces, saying you are a "freelancer," etc.) Clients will see the first two sentences of your summary, so those two sentences should talk about your services and how you can help them.

It might be best to start your summary in a more simple way:

I am an SEO Specialist who can help you generate great revenue across multiple marketplaces including Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and Etsy with the primary goal to expand your business.

Could you please take a look at my profile and suggest some improvements? I am currently having trouble finding clients, and I am not based in the US.

Thank you!

Akbar,

Your trouble finding clients is common among freelancers and it's not related to location. Freelancers worldwide have seen a drop in profile views, invitations, and response to their proposals.

I looked through your profile and overall, everything looks good. Here are a few, small improvements you can make:

1) For the word "frontend" in your title, use Upwork's skill category name and the industry standard name, which has a hyphen: Front-End Developer | HTML, CSS, Javascript, React, Node.js

2) I suggest starting your overview/summary with the testimonial. If you keep " **Available for rush projects** ", I recommend removing the emojis. Clients will see the first two sentences of your summary, so you want important words to appear in those two sentences--not emojis.

Everything else looks good.

[#6]

Please can someone look at my profile and suggest areas that need improvement? Thank you.

Patrick,

I think you need a stronger opening. "I have a background in web development," is OK if you only want to write about web development. But technical writing, as you know, encompasses a whole lot more than that.

I also think you need much stronger writing samples. If you don't have any, assign yourself some technical writing stories and write them up. These should be edited to perfection -- especially as editing is one of your services. Post two or three of them -- three would be better.

[#8]

Please have a look at my profile and let me know if anyone is willing to give me the best feedback.

Thank you.

Md Nazmul,

1) Capitalize the first letter of each word in your title; this will help it stand out: B2B Lead Generation, LinkedIn Lead Generation, Data Entry

2) Remove the first line of your overview/summary: "Thank you for checking out my profile!" Why? Because only the first two sentences of your summary are shown to clients when they search for freelancers. This means you have very little space to grab their attention, and you want clients to see your services and how you can help them; you do not want to waste space with a greeting.

For your second paragraph: "I would love to always learn new things and therefore be prepared to accept my buyer's challenges on a new path," I recommend not using the word "learn." Clients are not looking for freelancers who need to learn anything. Clients come to Upwork with specific needs and they look for experienced freelancers who can meet those needs. I would revise it to say something like: "I can help you grow your brand and increase demand with a proven and effective lead generation strategy."

Since lead generation is your main service, you need more lead generation samples in your portfolio. The portfolio is a chance to make a positive first impression on potential clients, and clients will expect to see other lead generation statistics, data, or other information you can provide.

Add short job descriptions to each job in your employment history. This is especially important when the jobs are highly relevant to the services you provide on Upwork.

can anyone please review my profile. I  am new to upwork.  I am trying to work in data entry jobs.

[#11]

Divagar,

Your profile is not set to public. You must set your profile to Public so we can see it.

[#12]

Hi , please review my profile : https://www.upwork.com/o/profiles/users/~01c665f0181a62366b 

[#13]

Mohit,

Your profile does not have enough information to convince clients to hire you. To make your profile more appealing to clients, provide more information in your overview/summary and add a portfolio. Clients come to Upwork with specific needs and they look for freelancers who can get results.

Before updating your summary and portfolio, you should change your profile photo. The picture in your photo should be a close-up image of your head and shoulders that clearly shows your face. The picture cannot be a graphic, avatar, or anything that isn't a photo of you. Read through Upwork's best practices for How to Choose A Good Profile Picture.

Add more information to your summary about how you can help clients. In addition to telling clients about your experience, give examples of the services you provide. Tell clients about your approach to providing those services and how you manage a project. Talk about your timeliness, accuracy, and ability to communicate effectively. Remember--you are competing with hundreds of thousands of data analysts, so clients several reasons to choose you.

As mentioned above, add a portfolio. Add a portfolio to show samples of previous work or to demonstrate your skills. The portfolio is a chance to make a positive first impression on potential clients. If you don’t have relevant examples to add to your portfolio, you can create items that demonstrate your skills.

Hi Faraz,

Welcome to Upwork.

I think your profile looks good. Your overview/summary is short, but I think it has enough information for clients to understand how you can help them.

The only suggestion I have is to add more items to your portfolio. Your Behance portfolio is great, but many clients will not click a URL to visit a website outside of Upwork. For those clients, I recommend adding a few of your graphics to your Upwork portfolio.

Good luck!

[#16]

Muhammad,

Other freelancers cannot provide you with work, but some freelancers can refer you to a job if they receive and decline an invitation.

Upwork is testing freelancer referrals with a limited amount of freelancers, but it will eventually become part of the platform for job invites.

Hello Sarah,

I looked through your profile and I think it does a great job of reflecting your skills, expertise, and value proposition. Your overview/summary is well-written and informative; your portfolio looks great; and your skills list uses several relevant skill categories.

I have only two suggestions:

1) Remove "Welcome to my Upwork profile!" as the first sentence of your summary. Why? Because only the first two sentences of your summary (approximately 215-250 characters) are shown to clients when they search for freelancers. This means you have very limited space to grab their attention, and you want clients to see their goals (your services) in that small space. You don't want to waste any space with a greeting--especially since "Welcome to my Upwork profile!" takes up 29 characters of space.

2) One of the ways Upwork matches us with jobs is by scanning our profile title, summary, and skills lists and looking for congruency. Since you use "Operations Management" and "Operations Specialist" in your title, I'm wondering if you can add an "operations" skill category to your skills list. How about Operations Research, Operations Management Software, Operations Analytics, or Business Operations? This won't "make or break" your job matches, but Upwork uses titles and skills as keywords/keyphases and it would be great if your title contained keywords from your skills list.

The other areas of your profile are great. I do not see any problems or issues that would prevent a client from hiring you.

Good luck!

[#20]

please can I have a feedback on my profile

[#21]

Samuel,

There is redundancy in your title. I recommend shortening your title to: UX/UI Design | Web and Mobile Design

I like the information in your overview/summary, but I think you should go a bit further and add more to your value proposition. For example, in addition to telling clients about your services, tell them about your approach to providing those services. You say: "My top priorities are effective collaboration and communication"  and think you should speak about that. Give clients an example of your process for working with them, when and how you communicate with them throughout a UX/UI design project, and how you might manage their project.

Also, talk about your attention to detail, your timeliness, and how you can help maintain quality standards. Remember--you are competing with thousands of UX/UI designers with the same experience and skills, so clients need several reasons to choose you.

Your portfolio, skills, and other profile areas look good.

Hi. Can you please check and suggest few points to make my profile up to date.

Tushar,

There was a profile review provided on November 22; you can see that review here.

Please have a look at my profile and let me know if anyone is willing to give me the best feedback.

Thank you.

Rabby Nur,

You've made improvements since the last review. However, I still recommend removing the first line of you overview/summary: "👋Thank you so much for landing my profile." Before, you had "👉 About Me" which takes up less space, but neither should be used as the first sentence of your summary.

As stated in the last review, only the first two sentences of your summary are shown to clients when they search for freelancers. Within that small space, you want clients to see their goals (your services); this is more likely to convince them to click on your profile.

The updated portfolio looks good.

Other freelancers here might be willing to offer their own feedback.

Good luck!

Dear All,

I need your review on my profile, request for your feedback. Thank you in advance.
