Hey folks,
I'm looking to improve my profile to help with proposals and gaining more work. I'm also following other guides, etc on improving my overall effectiveness within UpWork. If you have any guides or pointers, it would be greatly appreciated!
Solved! Go to Solution.

I would retake a profile picture that looks more professional and less like a Tinder pic. Also, your overview is pretty generic. You need to state what's unique to you that sets you apart. If anyone else's name can be put on your profile and it all still holds true, then it's not unique enough to you.
Also, remove that thing about wanting to work with honest, reliable clients. It's judgmental and offputting.
You're doing pretty well so far. Some tweaks will help you go further.

Hi there!
I just wanted to thank you for assisting in helping me fix up my profile. I've overhauled my profile and streamlined my proposal proccess, already picked up 5 jobs in the last three days with multiple more interviews leading to!
I really appreciate it, I realized some things were misformatted/worded and were offputting to potential clients. Thanks again.

Thanks Amanda!
I appreciate the advice. That picture was definitely terrible! Fixed that up and specialized my profile a bit more and already picked up 5 jobs this week with several more in the pipe for hiring. Thank you very much!
I really appreciate your guidance.
