Hello! Dear colleagues! Can you please check my profile and feedback on it? I'm a successful seller in Fiverr but not getting success in Upwork. let me know how can I improve it.

Shailesh, I'd suggest - for title, use a more generic term e.g. software engineer or developer for the general profile and then special profiles can have those specific titles. Next, change your availablity to less than or more than 20 hours. This gives client a good understanding of your availability. Lastly, check for typos and repetitiveness. Hope this helps.

Huzaifa, with all my respect. Could you check my profile and provide me with feedback. I will appreciate it! Thank you!

I would sincerely appreciate feedback as well - thank you!
I'm most concerned with my lack of work samples. I'm unable to link to my blog, Facebook or Instagram pages. Because the bulk of my writing work is online only available via links (no PDFs available) even something like Clippings.me would be better than the options currently available through Upwork.

Couldn't you copy your articles and posts into a programme like Word and create pdfs from that?

Hi,
I got my first project in upwork last year. It was a very difficult time, as I had just lost my mother. I had some issues with my laptop and lost communication with the client, so I got a bad feedback. It was totally my fault, I admit it. The problem is that since then it has been impossible to get any new project. I believe this is because of this bad review. I am thinking about closing my upwork account, but things now with covid have gone really hard and I need to get online projects. It is really disappointing, any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you

Your hourly rate is too high for a new freelancer in the data entry category; there's virtually no chance that a client will hire you at this rate. (There are many, many data entry freelancers on Upwork - who have great reviews and years of experience - who charge $3-5/hour, and nothing in your profile suggests that you can do a better job than they can.) And if you're going try to offer graphic design services, you will need to have an impressive portfolio of your work as well as at least a few years of real-world experience and/or formal training; if you don't, then it would be best not to say that you provide these services, because this is a highly competitive category as well. Focus only on the services that you do best, and find a way to stand out from your competitors.

Research other freelancers offering the same skill-set. There a tons of VAs on this site. Your rate is too high, you will probably not find a client willing to pay that.

Clients see only the first 2 lines of your profile before they click for more. You are wasting valuable space with a second profile title (completely unneccessary) and empty lines.

Your title says data entry, your description suggests content writing. That is confusing.

Hi everyone,
my name is Julian and right now, I was wondering if I could get feedback on my profile as I look for projects in data analytics. Anything would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Oct 3, 2020 05:45:27 PM by Simantini K
Julian, that's a great start. The portfolio is nicely put together. Here are couple suggestions:
1. Overview section needs some more details and you can get some ideas in this link. https://www.upwork.com/hiring/for-freelancers/enhance-your-profile-for-greater-success/
2. General profile and specialized profiles need to be distinct. At present, they have more or less same text.
3. Add skillslist keywords for the data analyst profile.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
