Hey everyone, I'm a digital marketing manager with 15 years' experience, originally from UK but recently moved to Spain on a permanent basis. i currently have a couple of large contracts but looking for small pieces of work to build my portfolio, I have only been freelancing since the start of the year so my network is tiny!

 

As I'm still a newbie, it would be great to hear from others' experiences and connect with freelancers from similar backgrounds. As well as all the good stuff, I'm also keen to understand any pitfalls to look out for.

 

What really inspires me is a clear day with a focused objective, that I know I can get stuck into without too much distraction... well we can dream at least!

Hi everyone! 
I am Eric, and I am knowledgeable when it comes to data analysis and visualization. In my current work, I am pulling data from datasets and analyze them to generate insights and help my team in planning and creating initiatives. I can say that I am organized and easy to work with. My bosses before would tell me that I can easily pick-up topline directions and create outstanding outputs, especially in doing visualizations and reports. Also, I am low-maintenance in a sense that I don't need to be micro-managed 🙂

Hello.
I'm Tessi Stone, a writer with a degree in Art History, I'm joining this community with the intention of earning money by writing. And yes, it's been my passion since I was a child. I don't know if I write well or not, but I write. I am a member of the Instituto de Estudios Almerienses, in Andalucía Spain, and I am a registered writer.
I have my normal profiles on the internet, and my AMAZON account, where I have my books.
The titles are the following: The Witches of Tara, illustrated juvenile tale set in Ireland in the 4th century BC.
Hechisos y Conjuros, a research treatise on medieval times, with spells, prayers and incantations extracted from books of that time.
The Princess and the Sea. Another illustrated story where I mix the magic of the classic with the present, and finally a book based on a personal experience, where you lose 20 kilos of weight by eating, without starving. I decided to publish this diet and share it with those people who cannot afford to pay a specialist every week. It is titled. LOSE 20 KILOS IN 11 WEEKS. And my blog, where I have written different topics about my life. **Edited for Community Guidelines**
And here I am.
Greetings to all.

Hello.
I am not inspired by anyone, I have read little and I really don't know how this works. But I have never been a fan of anyone. I like to have my own personality.

English version:
Hello! My name is Juan Carlos Martinez, and I'm from Colombia. I'm passionate about the Linux world and I'm looking for opportunities to work remotely, expand my network of contacts, and explore business possibilities. I believe that technological advancements and the development of Artificial Intelligence are bringing about significant changes in people's behavior and the job market.
Since November 2022, I have been closely following the rise of CHAT-GPT and I have developed a keen interest in working on automated tasks. I'm excited about the new challenges and opportunities that are emerging, as I believe we are witnessing a significant shift in traditional professions and how they are conducted.
I hope to contribute my skills and knowledge in this ever-changing environment. Thank you for your attention!

Can you please help.me 

The company said me to purchase the ccicc code for receiving your payment. They said me to purchase it with 50$ when I say that I don't have that much amount and I request them to purchase it for me and I will pay you back the 50$ so they agree but only for 40$ and they ask me to pay only 10$ ..  so is this is a scam or should i trust them?

Hi, my name is Kim Oruga and  I am 17 years old. I might be young to enter this job but I believe I acquired the skills needed in this field. I am a student from the Philippines and  I am currently a SHS student from the Department of Humanities. I've been working with school papers for almost 6 years now because I used to join academic paper contests like essay writing. Also, I can do creative writing, I write novels, poems, short stories, scriptwriting, and comics. I am also good at communicating since I have this jolly and happy personality, I am easy to talk with, especially on serious topics. I enter this job because I want to continue my skills, I want to give a hand to people who need help in terms of academic papers. I can benefit them as well as they can help me by compensating me. All I want is to build a good company for people here at UPWORK and also help me in terms of finances. I hope I can get along with people here I am looking forward to working with you all thank you!
