Hi my name is Rizalen from Brampton Ontario, Canada. I am new to this freelancer job and I would like to learn how to earn and maximize my spare time whenever I have a spare time. My co-worker from the Philippines posted from facebook that she started from doing simple task and now she's earning more. And I would like to do the same. I would like to work from home full time while I have more time with my family. I did accounting jobs on my previous jobs and I know some company needs bookkeeping and general accounting clerk and I am willing to be part of it.

Hello everyone! I'm Tati. I'm a proofreader but I also do character design and development as well as story development. I live in Phoenix, Arizona of the USA.

I'm a proofreader but I also do character design and development as well as story development. I'm also an aspiring author, illustrator, and narrator. I hope to learn how to gain and keep confidence in myself especially when it comes to talking to a client. I must admit I'm a bit on the shy side the first time I talk to someone I don't know. Also I'm not used to putting myself out there. I am open and will be thankful to anyone who has anything to teach me as I have a lot to learn.

Inspiration for me usually comes from books I read or movies and shows I watch. I also love Celtic music.

Want to work with content writers and agencies

I started using Upwork (oDesk) in 2012. Initially, I got hired for some WordPress fixing jobs and got good reviews. Then, I started working for local newspapers and didn’t continue on Upwork. After a gap of almost a decade, I returned to the platform. Many things have changed. The number of bids on a job skyrocketed. And I also decided to shift my focus from WordPress to being a content writer and translator. I tried to update my profile to reflect that change.

Here is my profile. Please take a look and let me know if I am good to go.

Also, I am looking for opportunities to work with other content writers and agencies. Here are some of the services I am currently providing.

• Content writing (web content, blog posts, ebook, etc.)
• Bengali-English-Bengali translation

Let’s have a chat if you have any leads!

Hey there, 

From Bangladesh, I'm Md. Shoeb.  I'm currently working in the accounting and bookkeeping fields. I completed my graduation with an accounting and finance background. I have four years of experience in the accounting field. I'm also a Quick Books Pro-Advisor-certified accountant. I'm also practicing CA now.

From other members, I want to learn many things, like that whenever I face a problem that is not possible for me to solve, I want to seek help from my community's senior, experienced members.

My self-motivation inspired me most because there are lots of things around you that motivate you, but this motivation won't be long-lasting for you. Only your inner fire can burn you and chase you to your destination.

Thanks to everyone. I love you all.

Md. Shoeb
