Greetings Upwork Family!

I am unable to secure high-paying jobs/projects yet I am a Top-Rated freelancer. I have tried every trick 'in the book' and feel that I have hit a dead-end. I am outof ideas! So far, I have;

a. Updated my profile accordingly.

b. Implemented all the tips I have learnt on bidding for jobs(which worked just fine last year).

I have not received any invitations by clients, yet I got so many last year.

What do you advise/recommend that I do? Thank you in advance.

I'm a marketing copywriter. Check out my profile and compare it with yours. You list qualifications, but you have no story. As a content writer, I expect more. Why hire you rather than the other Top-Rated freelancers? It's really hard to get started on the platform so you need to find ways to stand out. 

Likewise, your proposals need to be customized to each job post.

Hi Robin,
May you Kindly review my profile and suggest to me what I need/upgrade more to get projects.
I am an Upwork family member since 2017. I have completed several writing tasks at "Off-Work"/platforms.
I have mentioned those in my profile. But still, I am unable to identify what is resisting me to get jobs/projects.

Thanks

Hey All - new to the Freelance marketspace and am really glad to have this community!

I have a really low end computer but can get a Desktop as a Service from Citirx, Microsoft (and a host of others, now that I am in the market) that is much higher in processing power and RAM. I don't think this would be a problem but on another forum I heard that Upwork will flag me if I use a DaaS and suspend my account. Can this be true? I don't want to start down a path that will get me suspended but I cannot imagine why I could not do this. The cost of DaaS is so much cheaper per month than coming up with the $1200 to get a development machine.

Any insight or coaching or advice at all on this matter would be so deeply appreciated!

Hello, Upwork community,

I am really confused as to why I get virtually no response to my proposals. I don't have a JSS, but I have 6 5 star reviews with amazing feedback. I only apply to jobs I know I can really do well, but it seems like I'm wasting my time as nobody is even viewing my profile (I see I had one view this past week which is the same as the previous week), but I have sent out around 44 proposals this year. Please can someone share some insight? Is there an algorithm that pushes the more Upwork experienced freelancers above those less experienced? I would really, really appreciate if some of you amazing freelancers could have a look at my profile and share some thoughts on why I am not being successful?

Afsheen, your profile reads well. Consider adding prior job experiences. If you have not held any formal job titles, it might be a bit difficult to gain traction on this forum. You could add any freelance assignments that you may have done or any other volunteer work. Also, consider adding testimonials. 

Good luck, I wish you the best.

I will not comment on any of the presentation as I am not an English speaker.
The only thing I will comment on is that. If you have 10 years of experience, I suppose you will have more examples of work to show, not only of retouching, but also of design.
Retouching, erasing funds and changing funds are fields full of people doing the same thing.

Hi Mike and Team,

   Really could do with some expert advice on my profile. Thanks!

My Status: Joined Upwork on 11th Jan.

Made five applications but have not been accepted yet.

Kindly check and let me know. I hope to include other skills but for now, I am focussing on writing children's content. Thankyou!

Have a great year 2021!

Cheers,

Niti, on this thread experienced freelancers provide feedback. If you'd like tips from Upwork team there's another thread titled "Tips from Upwork’s Talent Success Team". 

https://www.upwork.com/resources/9-tips-create-freelancer-profile-stands-out

I'd highly recommend the article above to revamp your profile. Consider going through each item and make changes. For instance, tip 3 about the overview section- In the overview section, you provide information about your past employment and it would be helpful to include the services/products you can offer on this forum. e.g. "I am a creative writer who develops children's books, picture books, folklore, fantasy etc."   

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Until later :-),

Hi there,
I actually need an assessment of my profile to know areas I need to improve and work on.
Overall, I have submitted over 10 proposals and haven't gotten any job yet. One of the responses I finally received said I don't have any review and was scared I will abandoned the project half way.
Please, I need suggestions on how to fix this and a review of my profile and areas of improvement.
Thanks guys.

Reuben, it is incredible that you have a job in two weeks. Some freelancers spend months figuring things out. You have a well-written profile. For improving success rate (i.e. securing more contracts), I'd suggest to add an introductory video. Also, consider adding more portfolio items and most importantly, consider getting one or two testimonials. These items will give your potential client a better understanding of what it is like to work with you. 

I hope this helps. Good luck, you already are a rising star!
