Hi William! Could you please review my profile? I've been following you here for a while. I read your posts about changing our strategy on Upwork. I made some changes in my profile for this, but I'm not sure if I found the right strategy.

Hi William, I'm a top-rated freelancer for more than 1 year and have had a constant JSS of 100% for about 6 months. But the issue is that I'm unable to get any invitation at all. Meanwhile, people with JSS below 80 get tons of invites.
Any Solution? I'm a getting frustration

Hi Laiba,
I'm not an expert in Upwork yet, but I tried to review your profile and it shows me that is private.

If you want to be successful in getting the first job, when you send the proposal it should not be too big. I can good luck

Hello everyone would appreciate feedback on my profile and also tips on how I can get my first job. I have sent over 10 proposals since joining.
Thanks.

Hello Manda,
Create a synergized Title, Summary, and Skills to apply for Jobs to match what Clients are searching for. Use one or two of the Skill keywords in the Title to emphasize what you bring to the table for the Client. Create 4 short paragraphs in the Summary. If the Summary is too long, most Clients will not read the rest of the Summary; too short then there isn't enough information for a Client to hire. The first two sentences of the Summary are the most important because they are visible to the client as they search for a freelancer. Thanks!

Hey William,
Can you please, review my profile. It will be really kind of you. Let me know your point of view and suggestions.
Mar 15, 2023 12:19:04 PM by Huseyin C
Hello Manda,
I'm not a veteran on Upwork but I wanted to share my suggestion. I think starting with "Hello, my name is Manda" is not compelling first sentence for the client. I believe you can directly start with the "value" you offer for them like "I'm here to ...." "Let me help you with ..." It can be more intriguing. Best of luck,

Same here -
I would really appreciate feedback on my profile and also tips on how I can get my first job. I have sent tonnes of proposals as well since joining and my profile is at 100 percent completeness. Might anyone also have some tips on what triggers Upwork to request you for identity verification?
Thanks.

The first two sentences of the Summary are the most important because they are visible to the client as they search for a freelancer. Use all 15 Skills IF they apply. The Skills are used to assist a Client in locating your Profile via search. Thanks!

Hello everyone,
I'm Nancy, a writer who is new to Upwork.
On the platform I've gotten 3 jobs with 2 great clients.
Submitting proposals have proven futile lately, as most clients leave their job posts unattended for weeks to months.
I'm really looking forward to getting more invites and offers.
Does anyone have any advice or recommendations?
Thanks.
Mar 15, 2023 01:03:21 PM by Lisa R
Hi Nancy,
Congratulations on the clients you did get! That's a win any day of the week. On that note, I do understand the frustration. I had an interview with a client and was expecting a second interview, then they went on vacation, then I went on vacation, and suddenly the job was closed a month later. But a second active proposal landed an interview with an even better client. Here's what I wrote them after a week or so, 'Hi! Just checking in to see where you are on this project. I'm writing now as my schedule is beginning to fill for the next few months and I want to be sure to leave a space open for you.'
What kind of writing do you do? How do you 'vet' the clients you want to work with? I've found that finding good clients on Upwork is a bit like going to a Flea Market. You have to go through A LOT of junk before you discover the treasured item you didn't know you wanted that happens to be valuable. Ex: I bought a pure silver tray at a yard sale. They were selling it for a $1 because they didn't know what they had.
Have you also looked at writing adjacent projects like editing, beta reading, or narration? These fill my days while I'm working on the next proposals. And if you write Romance? You should be swimming in contracts! Ultimately, the idea is to niche in the beginning to something specific, then expand from there.
Let us know how it goes, and cheers to your next best client!

Thanks a lot Lisa.
I'm currently into blog writing in the health, travel, lifestyle, beauty and fitness niche.
At the moment I'm open to spreading my tentacles to editing ad narrating.
You also mentioned romance.
I'll love to get started there, with the hopes of getting more offers.

Lisa,
Your WWII memoir has a missing letter in the first sentence ... it's an "h."
