Hi Maria,

Welcome to this arena.

Creating a profile needs your step by step professional 'following' through the system at Upwork. I see you have already created a profile here. But it lacks many things to be considered as professional. 

There are many things yet I would like to suggest the following:

  • Create a professionally sound Title.  It should refer to your key skills and efficiency. 
  • Write an effective Overview with detail description of your skill set and how can you help the clients with their projects timely and satisfactorily. 
  • Put an Hourly Rate of your service you would like to charge.
  • Add portfolio of your jobs demonstrating your skills. 
  • Add Certifications if you have any.
  • Pass some Upwork Tests related to your skills with a good score. This helps the new freelancers to get the first job many a time.

Best of luck!
