Good afternoon Andrea, hope you can assist me with this problem. " Sorry, you cannot purchase projects in the Project Catalog using this account." What is the meaning of this thread, my project is approved and maybe that is why I don't get clients. Please help!

Hi Daniellina,

Thank you for reaching out to us. I would be happy to help. Could you please clarify if you are getting this error while trying to purchase other user Projects?

I did my project and its aprove, so I saw the profile is not 100% and go through the project again and edit where I thought it is nessasery. Is it possible that you can give me feedback on the profile project. I think that is why I did not get any response from clients because you can not click to see what is my prices

Hallo,

I am completely new to upwork! I have already uploaded a foto, filled out my qualifications. So ... I assume that people can see this introduction! 

I live in Germany in a small town near Munich, Bavaria. I am already in pension, but as a mother of four children i don`t get so much pension, so I`m trying to earn extra money with my skills, which include a very good knowledge of the german language and of course with english mother tongue....english. I want to translate, german to english, difficult texts would also be possible. I have included a detailed description of my qualifications in my profile.

Looking forward to making some badly needed extra cash!

[#12]

Halo Firoz,

I personally do not have any experience in the areas you want to spezialise in!  I can only advise you to state specifically your qualifications in the area you want to work in. People who work in this area and have experience at Upwork will then be able to advise you where to apply for work.

I am also a beginner at Upwork! I wish you all the best for future Projects and many clientts!

Hi everyone,

I'm Garrett, an NYC Multidisciplinary Designer focusing on brand design and digital experiences. 

I'm new to Upwork, but have been a professional designer for 10 years. I was laid off earlier this year and it's been very tough finding a new job. I'm hoping to learn the best ways to utilize this platform to build a client list. Although I've worked for many well known companies in the past, it's been difficult to build a network. It's inspiring to see people on Upwork believe / bet on themselves and have great success.

Hello! I am a video editor in incline village Nevada and one thing I am hoping to learn is how to get more clients, I have been inspired by some family who have been freelancers in the past 

[#17]

My name is Christian T I am a proofreader and a writer, I am new here to commune with other colleagues to do this job collectively 

[#18]

In a world filled with words, I have found my mission: to transform thoughts and emotions into flying words on paper, and to touch the hearts of readers with the power of language. As a senior copywriter, I wander in the ocean of words, enjoying the excitement and tranquility of every creation. Now, I look forward to sharing this charm with more text enthusiasts in my spare time.

Copywriter, a dancer dancing in the sea of words. I am good at grasping the rhythm of words and using precise words to outline every thought. Whether it's writing passionate advertising copy or polishing profound and profound academic papers, I always adhere to my reverence and love for words.

In this job, I have discovered a unique charm: every creation is a journey of the soul. When the words under my pen began to dance, they were like little elves, guiding me into another world. I feel the joy of creation and also experience the grinding of pain. However, it was in this process that I discovered my potential and also saw the infinite possibilities of words.

Parttime job has provided me with a new stage. I look forward to exploring the charm of creativity with more text enthusiasts on this stage. Whether it's short and concise advertising slogans or thought-provoking prose, I am willing to do my best and put my heart into creating. I hope that through my efforts, the power of words can be transmitted to more people.

For me, every creation is a spiritual baptism. I believe that as long as we feel the details of life with our hearts and record the beauty of life with words, we can all find our own happiness in the process of writing and editing.

Overall, I love my job and the life I pursue. I hope to pass on this passion to more people through my part-time job. Let's explore the charm of writing and editing together, making words a bridge for communication, and also finding our own happiness in the world of words.
