Hi - wow, the Upwork travel so far (about 7 days now) has been quite entertaining. I signed up, got my free connects and just started proposing. Hahaha, I am sure you know the rest. But, now I get it. What I do need as a little insight on how you see my profile. Please note that I am fluent in English (all 4 skills). I am not a BA guru or anything "Einsteiny" but, I know my English, I know how to write and edit (out of experience in my career, that demanded that of me), I am exactly what I say I am in my profile. I am also in the market for Online English Teaching opportunities. What would you suggest?

🙂 Elizabeth, you indeed are good with words. The first one to read your profile is Upwork machine algorithms i.e. one has to put in words that are understandable to a machine (or think a 2yr old!!). For instance, humans understand "Eyes wide open Reading and Writing" service is about editing and proofreading but for machine it could range from writing, proofreading to ophthalmology. In other words, you might be matched with writing jobs, eye health jobs etc.
Consider rewriting your profile in that context and I am happy to review it again.

Hi Ma Del,
1st of all you should try to touch every points mentioned by Upwork and complete your profile with 100%. Then verify your profile with Upwork and send proposal everyday to your niche. I assure that you will get job within few days. Best of luck.
Thank You

Is it normal to have 57 proposals and no interviews Something must be wrong with my account?
Please check my account for any errors.

Kelvin, I noticed that a contract ended with no feedback. That hurts in early stages! Have you given your feedback to the client? If not, please do it and then the client feedback will be visible on your profile.

Kelvin, I do not see your feedback to client yet. It probably means the client has not given you feedback. Usually, it is not a good idea to badger client for feedback, or ask them to give "five stars" etc. But I notice that this is your client's first job post. They posted a job worth $30 but ended up giving you work worth $180. You probably must have done the task well 🙂
Try giving your client this link below and ask them to leave a feedback. It is possible that they may simply not know about feedback, if you closed the contract.

(Other aspects of your profile can be improved later. Since the feedback is time-sensitive i.e. within 14 days, I am hoping that this feedback piece gets done soon.)

Hello Everyone,
I am sending proposals everyday in my niche. And also spent a huge number of connects. But still I am not getting replies for the long days. So my humble request to all of you, can anybody please visit my profile and suggest me is there any issue on my profile, which I need to fix?
Waiting for your valuable reply.
Thanks & Regards
Suman B.

I would suggest you're using the verb try too much in your profile:
Within this period, I tried to polish my SEO skills...
Please send me an invitation, and I would gladly try making this work...
You need to be more positive. Clients don't take well to someone who says, "Please send me an invitation, and I would gladly try making this work..."

Hello Robert,
Thanks for given me your valuable feedback. And as per your suggestion I have changed the mentioned lines,
1. I polished my SEO skills to serve valuable clients with an extraordinary SEO marketing service
2. I would gladly complete your work using my best SEO knowledge
Please tell me any other thing, that I missed out. Thanks again.
Regards
Suman B.

Hi Suman
If you are targeting clients in the Western hemisphere there is a language difference, its more direct and detailed about what you will do from the outset. Maybe try something along the lines of:
I have x years experience in SEO and within SEO my specialities are x,y & z. I regularly work in these areas and can provide you with examples if you would like to discuss your project in more detail. Important factors in SEO are a,b & c, I will factor those into any work I undertake.
Something like that is more western if you are trying to talk the same language I'm saying the same thing as you but it tells me you know about your subject, you've done it before and you will share some of your knowledge with me in just a few brief lines. You can put some details in that highlight your skills. Hope that helps.
