Hello, Andrea. Hello everyone. I hope everyone is doing great. 

 

I am new here in upwork and I am already impressed to the people and environment here. It is like a place of opportunities.

 

I wanna share 3 interesting things about me and why I'm here in Upwork: First, I am 2nd year college student with a course of Bachelor in English Education here in Manila, Philippines. I am a working student since high school and it was never a problem, it is actually the reason why I grow up to be independent and motivated. Secondly, I am a great communicator. I have a sense of passion in English language and socialize. Many of my peers, teachers, co-workers, family, and friends describe me as a living English book. I really really really love books. It is my escape from the real world. Lastly, aside from the skills I have mentioned above, I am also a technology literate. I can able to make posters, flyers, infographics, and etc. 

 

I am hoping to have a career, financial, and life growth in this environment.

Hello,

I am Saira Marie Oro, a resident here in the Philippines. I joined Upwork two days ago and I am still confused with a alot of things. I've already tried sending 2 proposals but I think it didn't work because I received a notification that they will refunded the connects I have sent. Does it mean I was not accepted?

 

I am planning to find a job realated to data entry, I don't have any experienced yet so it is kinda hard looking for a clients who will accept a beginner. Can you give me some advice on how should I start and luckily find my first job.

 

Thank you.

Hi everyone! my name is Omar, I'm a digital marketer since 2014 (I was 18 years old at the time!) and have since worked on dozens of online projects for clients. My main niche is in healthcare, where I promote clinics, med-spas and hospitals. I also serve clients in tech, gaming, e-commerce, real-estate and law niches.

 

With over 9 years of SEO experience, I have a good sense of navigating what ranks or not.  Apart from that, I am a native English speaker with a Bachelor and Master's from the UK, making me suitable to do content marketing. I have also managed hundreds of social media accounts on Facebook, IG, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest and Twitter. In many cases, pages and accounts I managed have gone viral and led to success of my clients.

 

I recently opened a freelancer account on Upwork to expand my network and reach new clients. My profile is new here, but I am a freelancer from many years.

 

Looking forward to connecting with this community more and getting to know you all better! 🙂

Hello. I am maggie, I was laid off from my graphic designer job 2 mths ago. I have been dilitgently searching for new opportunities but it seems the world is a mess right now and jobs are hard to find. I have 20 years experience in microsoft products as well as creative suite. I am located in NJ right now. I'm just kind of learning the ropes on here so I hope others can offer some words of wisdom or avenues to success!...Hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful day. 

Hi Maggie,

 

I have gone through your profile and it's kinda empty. You can check the profiles of top freelancers in your industry. Please add some portfolio and at least one specialized profile. Highlight your experiences with a little bit of creativity and fun staff. Most importantly, be consistent, and don't lose hope!

 

Best regards,

Shagor

I really enjoy data entry, but am unable to hold a permanent job due to health issues. Freelancing gives me the opportunity to do jobs when I'm feeling well and allow me the time off I need when I'm not well. 

So far, most of what I've seen listed looks like some sort of spam because it's the same thing listed over and over again. How do I tell  if they are legit? That is how I'm hoping other members can help me.

Hi all! Lindsay here with Thrivist. I specialize in Facebook & Instagram ad management only. I believe specialization is key! This entails everything from onboarding, goal setting, market research, customer avatar/audience creation and refinement, sourcing and ordering professional ad creative, creating ideal campaigns, launching ads, weekly ad performance reviews and optimization, monthly reporting and analytics for clients....

 

I know I'm forgetting some things, there are many hats that ad managers wear. Don't we all! 🤠

 

I am 100% new to Upwork and this structure of getting clients so I am feeling the fear and doing it anyway. I'm so excited to have found UpWork and am wishing us all a prosperous and fruitful time here. 🤗

 

I am currently looking for reliable graphic designers  to partner with to create stunning Facebook & Instagram ads for my clients. Length of time for experience is not as important as level of skill. I am looking for somebody who can bring our visions to life. If that sounds like you, please let me know!
