Hi Mike,
I would love to get feedback on my profile. I have thick skin so please don't hold back 😉
Oct 19, 2020 05:04:49 PM by Simantini K
That's a good start, Emil X. Few things to consider:
1. Overview section in the specilaized profile can be different from general profile.
2. The portfolio needs to have more projects, more variety.
3. Consider adding testimonials from previous clients.

I personally don't care much for when people call themselves rockstars, but hey, I'm not looking to hire an VA. Switch the paragraphs, your skills first, your experience (if you must) last. I would shorten the experience section a bit by removing the typical resume word salad, giving your profile a more personal touch.

It looks good! I really like the portfolio section, very attractive.
You created a specialized profile, but have the same text in both - don't do that, use it to be more specific about the skills you offer. Your overview is a bit short, maybe expand it a bit.
Finally, you compete with a very large number of other freelancers, so make the most of your profile. Research your competition and see what they offer, and how they do that.

The text in both your main and specialized profiles is too similar, change that to be more specific to the seperate skills. (You probably created a specialized profile, found out you can't delete it, and in exasparation put some text in there just to get it done. I get that. But it shows...)
Otherwise - it's a good start! Refine it some more, I want a writer's profile to dazzle me before I'd hire him/her. (I am not looking to hire a writer.) Research your competition, which is vast, and see how they do that.

Thanks for the feedback Martina. I thought that might have been the case. I hope it's better now after a review and change.

Your text is much too short. Expand on exactly what services you offer, make a list of specific examples. It would be great if you had anything to put into the portfolio section with a nice thumbnail on it - you want to capture attention and make a client spend more than a mere few seconds (if that) on your profile. (I should not have to explain to a marketing professional how to sell himself, sooooooooo....... 😉
Also, your rate is too low.

Hi Martina P
Sorry to bother you but I see you are very active in the comment section and did profile reviews for other freelancers, so I want to ask you if you can review my profile, please? I requested on page 47 but no reply yet after a few weeks. I will appreciate it if you do this favor for me.
Thanks

It looks really good! The only thing - clients can only see the first 2 lines of your profile before they click on it - so don't waste it with a greeting. Delete the first line and the empty line. Otherwise, all good!

Hi Martina P
Thank you for the great feedback. I will delate those lines. Always I optimize my profile by reading articles on Upwork, and watching youtube videos but needed to know if I was on the right track so this helps a lot thank you again, Martina.
TIP: for new freelancers, always optimize your profile by seeking knowledge and asking the community members. I am here to help anyone needing a profile review.

Hi,
I have been on upwork (odesk) since 2008. Now I am trying to continue on it and give more time. I usually don't add screenshots of the Mobile apps because most of the time I do not have permission to do so.
So by looking at my profile do you think that I am capable of getting projects?
Please note: I have recently submitted many proposals. I got the messages back from the client which is good but none of them offered me the projects.
I am a little curious about it.
Thanks for reading 🙂
