Hi,
This seems great. Can Upwork Experts have a look at my profile and let me know if I can improve upon it? I just noticed under My Stats> Profile Views that I have got only one view in the past 90 days!
That's a bit dissapointing since I have been applying for jobs almost every day! Are the clients even viewing my profile?
Jun 7, 2021 02:13:52 AM by Priya M
Hi,
I have a public profile which is complete with all the essentials. i have been consistently applying for jobs. But the profile views under My stats show that I havent got any views as yet.
Are the clients even getting proposals? Or is there a glitch in my profile settings.

Im a newbie here in upwork and i am having a hard time getting my first client. Maybe this has to do with my profile. I hope someone can help me, i would really appreciate it.
Jun 8, 2021 05:50:08 PM by Anonymous-User A
Christian, you have been on Upwork since 2017 but I assume you did not use it much. It is never too late. Glad that you are now a part of this community. Here are a few suggestions: 1. Consider adding a portfolio of services you provide. Include one item for service you offer. 2. Skills list can have up to ten skills. I can see only four on your profile. Consider adding those. If you do not have additional skills then its fine to leave it at four. You can use this down time (i.e. when you don't have clients) to develop more skills. 3. Add a description of services in the overview section.
I hope this helps. Good luck.

Dear All,
I am a new freelancer and would like you to view my profile. Frankly speaking, I don't know how to represent myself and show my work. Please help!
Thanks,
Karim

@Zeinab M, First of all, you have to make your profile 100% complete. Something is pending like Portfolio, Other work experience and specialized skills. But you have already completed the job that is a good gesture for your profile. Best Wishes!! However, our GURU community will guide you more professionally and efficiently.
Jun 10, 2021 12:01:39 PM by Suman B
Can anyone please help to review my profile? It will be very helpful to me.
Jun 10, 2021 02:53:29 PM by Anonymous-User A
Suman, you have a well-written profile. Few suggestions: 1. The overview section for specialized profile is well-written but 'all work' needs to be revised to focus on services you offer. 2. There is redundancy in the overview section and video. Some redundancy helps is reinforcing the point. However, consider revising the overview section. 3. Skills list has less than 10 words. Consider adding more words.
I believe, you are doing well on this forum. Good luck.
Jun 11, 2021 05:22:45 AM by Suman B
Hi Aditi,
Thank you very much for review my profile. I have implemented all the points as per your suggestion. It was very important to review my profile. So that I can rectify my faults.
Thanks Again
Suman B.

Kindly consider my profile also. I have applied for too many jobs but there is no progress yet.

Hi,
Posting again since there was no response to my last request, already tried to improve few things after reading suggestions to other's profiles, maybe this time someone can review and give me feedback.
Thanks

Laura, that's a great start. The overview section is primarily meant for providing more information about services you provide. Other areas that could be changed are portfolio, testimonials, introduction video etc. Here's an article that might help you:
https://www.upwork.com/resources/9-tips-create-freelancer-profile-stands-out
Take your time to think through these tips (and other Upwork resources) and then make changes. I am happy to review your profile again when you have completed it.
Good luck, I am rooting for your success.

Hello, I am new in Upwork and i call upon someone to help me better my profile to get started.
Jun 13, 2021 01:07:02 PM by Anonymous-User A
Emmanuel, glad that you have started your freelancing journey. Consider few suggestions: 1. Title needs to change as everybody is a 'freelancer'. It does not adequately describe the services you offer. 2. A portfolio will help your clients make a favorable decision about your services. Consider adding a portfolio with several items. 3. Add more skills under ghostwriting profile. 4. The overview section is too short. Add more details about services you provide. There are several Upwork resources (articles and videos) to help you develop these sections. After you read them, you can develop your profile.
Good luck, I am sure with some diligence and persistence, you will find good clients on this platform.

Hello!
Can you please take a look at my profile and see if I'm missing anything that could help me start on UpWork?
Cheers,
Garreth
Jun 14, 2021 07:21:15 PM by Anonymous-User A
Garreth, that's a good start. Consider creating a portfolio. I'd recommend reading this article before you create a portfolio: https://www.upwork.com/resources/4-ways-create-successful-freelancer-portfolio. You are an experienced professional. Consider getting some testimonials from previous employers or clients. The overview section needs to be revised too but as you build your portfolio, you will get more ideas to revise it.
Good luck with the portfolio.
