Hi! I just finish my profile. Can someone give me feedback?
I desperately need a job right now.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Jun 15, 2021 04:13:10 AM by Suman B
Hello Smith,
Have you complete your profile with 100% yet? If not try to fulfill every points which mentioned by Upwork. And try to add a testimonial which will help your clients to increase their trust level about you.
Also you can add 15 skills on your profile where you mentioned only 6 skills. Then send proposal every day to your niche. I assure you will definitely get job within the days. Best of Luck.
Thank You
Suman B.

Thank you, Suman.
I've already completed my profile to 100%.
I'll do what you told me.
Jun 16, 2021 04:48:20 AM by Suman B
Hello Smith,
I have seen your profile again and now it's good. Try to add a testimonial on your profile. Also you may add your project catalog. That's it.
One more thing, as you are a newcomer on Upwork, you should know that whenever you get any help from a member, please try to give him a kudo. Its actually motivates him in his work.
Thank You

Yes, why are newbies stingy with Kudos?
No, Kudos don't motivate me. I try to stop by here at least five days a week to see what amazing budding talent we have!! Especially, they seek feedback and they come back after a month or so to seek feedback again.... you then see they already got eight or nine clients. That's such a rewarding feeling!! Their profiles are an inspiration to me... (well, at least most 😉 Some folks are in a rush to seek feedback and then never act on any feedback 😞 )

I will also post some images on my work so you can have an idea of my skill level.
P.s. I am sure you get this question all the time

Jeffry, that's a nice portfolio! A decent portfolio is usually half the battle and you've aced it. Few suggestions: 1. The overview section of all work and specialized profile reads the same. Consider revising it to showcase special skills you have. 2. Consider getting some testimonials from previous clients/employers. 3. Make sure the skills list is up-to-date. 4. Lastly, add any certifications that you may have. If you don't, consider using this down time to get some certifications. These are not required but usually help freelancers to gain some much needed skills.
Good luck, I am sure you will find good clients pretty soon on this platform.

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?
Jun 16, 2021 08:14:40 AM by Simantini K
🙂 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 everyone! I will appreciate this help!
Thank you so much in advanced.
Jun 15, 2021 11:58:21 AM by Suman B
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
Suman B.

Is it normal to have 57 proposals and no interviews Something must be wrong with my account?
Please check my account for any errors.
Jun 16, 2021 08:07:06 AM by Simantini K
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.
Jun 16, 2021 01:06:38 PM by Simantini K
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.
https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/211062188-Leave-Feedback-on-a-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..."
Jul 19, 2021 11:47:23 AM by Suman B
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.

Hello Mr. Andrew,
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback. I have already implemented your mentioned lines in my profile. Hope those golden lines will help clients to find my SEO knowledge.
