Hey,

This is Hammad Khan, I am very new to this platform, previously I worked at several platforms where I have got so many clients and done different project related to technical and non technical stuff.

Now I want someone to coordinate me with a client on upwork, who is hiring a writer on continuous basis, I am so negotiable and flexible in terms of budget, I am also very dedicated and client oriented person, his/her happiness is my first ever priority. I am very punctual and focused persons for submission at the deadlines or very narrow timeline. I am a challenge loving person and always ready to learn and adapt. 

I would be very grateful if anyone do me this favour.

Regards,

Hammad Khan

Hello, My name is Elizabeth. I am a Freelance Copywriter that works from home and i'm very new to this. I'm located in Ga. I would like to learn more and be able to use it to my advantage in order to create a good life for my family and I. My husband inspires me he works a hard manual labor job and it is taking a toll on him and I hope that I could learn enough to eventually create my own business so that he doesn't have to work so hard for our family.

Hello everyone,

 

I'm thrilled to be joining this forum and to introduce myself. My name is Han, and I'm a writer/researcher with a background in administrative support.

 

As a writer and researcher, I'm passionate about exploring new ideas and delving into complex topics. I enjoy the challenge of distilling complex information into clear and concise language that's accessible to a broad audience. Whether it's an academic paper or a marketing campaign, I'm committed to delivering high-quality work that meets the needs of my clients.

 

Before transitioning to writing and research, I spent several years working in administrative support roles. These experiences taught me the importance of attention to detail, organization, and effective communication. I've carried these skills forward into my current work, where they continue to serve me well.

Hi Han welcome,

it is a pleassure to receive you in this wide platform of information and exchange of ideas, your work is very interesting  and from what I can see in your presentation you love your profession, I particularly think the same way as you, when one enjoys what he does and even more when it comes to the professional subject, it is not a job I would say, it is exciting a privilege to have the opportunity to deliver that knowledge to our customers. well, once again welcome aboard.

Hi everyone

 

I'm a South African now living in Colombia, after spending a few years in the US and UK.  I've been working in the EFL industry for the past 17 years, but travelling has encouraged me to continue my journey of discovery, so I'm hoping to learn more about my industry as well as areas in which I don't have as much experience.

My greatest inspiration comes from working with people from other cultures.  I am fascinated by the differences and similarities we all have.

Hello Upworkers! i'm Rony

Professional graphic designer & Frontend developer,  based in Colombia :colombia:.

I've been working in the field of graphic design for a long time, then I got a passion for not only making things look great but also how to coding. I love the feeling when people interact with products that I've built.

I'm eager to learn from the experiences of other successful freelancers here and pick up some tips on how to make a good income from my skills.

A few years ago, I had some clients on Upwork, but I focused on something else and didn't continue freelancing... Now, I'm back on the platform and I'm excited to re-ignite my career. If anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it!

Hi, I am the new kid on the block 🙂 I am a nurse by trade but my passion is Quality and Performance Improvement as well as anything data. I am in the US and as many of us, finances seem to get tighter despite a good job. I am hoping to make connections, adding income, and who knows what doors might open. I admire people who find that "one thing" to financial freedom. I am still looking for that 🙂 In the meantime, if I can put my skills to use to help others as well as myself, hey, that adds purpose to my life.
