Hi Sohail,

 

Welcome to Upwork!

 

Thanks for your message. I'm an Upwork Success Partner and an independent professional on Upwork for more than 6 years, and I'll be happy to share a few tips on how you can improve the marketability of your profile:

 

  • Your title "Creative writing" is vague does not help you stand out since many other professionals have the same or similar titles. Just like Google search results, the title and “snippets” of information that appear in Upwork’s talent search results can be key factors when potential clients are looking for experts to reach out to. Here are some additional best practices to consider for your profile copy.
  • Your profile overview is short compared to the average and therefore it is difficult to understand what are your key skills and services and how you can help clients achieve their goals. Help them understand your abilities better by listing information about your skills and experience in an original and creative way.  For example, expand on who you are, the services you offer, and what you’re most passionate about. Here are some additional tips for writing a great Overview
  • Add additional skill tags. At this time you only have 8 skill tags and are allowed up to 15! Having the right skill tags might help you show up in relevant search results
  • Add portfolio items. In my opinion, this is the most important section of your profile and it is very difficult to get hired without showing samples of your work. Your portfolio gives you the opportunity to impress potential clients with real-life examples of your skills and expertise. 
  • Add relevant details to help clients understand your background. For employment, Some types of information you could include in your details are your duties, if you worked independently or with a team, and any major accomplishments.

I encourage you to visit the Upwork Events page for past and upcoming educational events. It might help you learn more about how to get started and be successful on Upwork.

 

I hope this helps!

 

Best,

Tiffany F. | Upwork Success Partner

I would be interested in profile feedback.  There are still things I am working on--seems like working on a profile can be a continuous process.  Here is my profile https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~0145d66f20558990c7

 

Thank you,

Tarek

Tarek, you have the experience and expertise that it takes to be successful on this platform. Consider few suggestions: 1. Under the overview section, focus on services you offer in the first paragraph. If possible, create a specialized profile for some high-end services. 2. Is it possible to create a project catalog in your field?  This link might help. https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/360058234233-Get-Started-with-Project-Catalog 3. Portfolio- I cannot emphasize enough significance of a well-crafted portfolio. You can get some ideas from other freelancer profiles. For instance, Jesse. (I don't know him, nor do I understand your domain well. But a quick title search of your profile popped up several profiles and Jesse's profile stood out for me.) 

Hope this helps, Good luck.

Upwork is a good and reliable marketplace. Many freelancers works in this platform. First you need to submit proposal many jobs according to you skill. When your proposal attracted to clients the clients send you interview message or offer. You meed to good communicate with client then you give the project. After successful completed the project the client give you feedback. If the project is not good then client give you 2/3/4 start feed back. If that is good the you give 5 start rating. I hope you understand.

Thank you.

Hi, dear community members.
I have a verified profile and rising talent badge and I completed three (3) project with 5 :glowing_star: and one with no feedback given . The Issue I'm facing is that I apply to job but I cannot win job. I don't know whether there is something wrong on my profile or this comes from Upwork. In fact I have seen many Upwork users talking about the same issue . Can you help me solve this issue? You can for example check out my profile and tell me if there is something wrong. If you have a link to an article about the topic, you can share it with us.
Best regards,
Bruno

Hello to everyone. my name is Nikita. I'm newbie on the freelance exchange. so I want to get comfortable and try to take the first order. I filled out a profile, passed the test, got Rising Talent, but it doesn't have an asterisk like the others, why? and when I want to apply for a vacancy, in the column for preferred qualifications there is an exclamation mark opposite Rising Talent? And how can I get a rating or feedback if I have not received any orders for Upwork yet? I haven't done web programming before. Now I am slowly improving my skills. I made a portfolio based on the layouts that I made in the training courses and the layouts from Figma.

Hi Guys,

 

I have re-started the work again on upwork. Please go through my profile and help me to improve!

Thanks in Advance!

I'm sorry, but I am not getting very few apt jobs for my skills. Please review my profile and let me know the areas where I can improve. PFA my latest Resume. I learnt Digital Marketing recently and would like to add that also to my profile.

 

Along with DevOps, I can have also done Technical Support for Windows OS (AT&T Connectech).

This was many years ago.

Can I get back into the Technical Support field via Upwork?

Do I modify my profile to show it as a current experience?

 

Due to COVID, apt jobs are scarce in my area. Financial situation is getting worse.

So I may seem confused, but I am firing on all cylinders!

Hi Friends

 

It will mean the world to me if you can afford to take a minute out of your time to review my profile.

If you can even spare some more time to look at our agency account - That will even be super awesome.

 

Thank you!

Hi Taverishma,

You're off to a great start, I'm glad to see you decided to add a video introduction! Here are a few additional tips to help you make your profile further stand out:

 

  • Precise titles that specify the services you offer are more likely to catch the attention of clients that need your expertise. That said, I recommend avoiding generic descriptions, such as “favorite”. You can touch on these points in your Overview.

  • You only have 5 skill tags, but are allowed up to 15. Add additional skill tags to showcase your expertise & help you show up in relevant search results. Pro tip: Watch the skill tags clients are using on the projects you’re interested in to help you choose the most relevant ones.

  • Great job of adding 2 portfolio items! Your portfolio gives you the opportunity to show prospective clients real-life examples of your skills and expertise. To show the clients how you can help them, consider showcasing 4+ examples of your best, most recent work. Check out this article to learn about best practices for building a great portfolio.

  • Lastly, I took a quick look at your agency profile, and I suggest you use bullets or other delineators to break up your profile overview and make it easier for Clients to quickly scan and understand. Here's a great resource you can consider.

 

Thanks,
Nadja
