You have to write in English, both here and in your profile, otherwise your post will be deleted.
Are you a voice professional or is this something you just "would like to do"?
Keep in mind that there are a lot of experienced professionals here. Many freelancers don't get any work and you will have to spend money to be able to submit proposals.
You must create a profile and add samples of your work to the portfolio.

Hello,

>> I am a graphic designer specializing in social media post design, branding, and canva design. I'm based in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

>> As someone relatively new to Upwork, I'm hoping to learn best practices from experienced freelancers on how to create an appealing profile, craft winning proposals, and build a successful book of business on the platform. I'm also interested in tips for time management, client communication, and pricing my services competitively.

>> I find inspiration in brands and designers that blend creativity with clear communication. Companies like Apple and Airbnb have such iconic and recognizable branding. Designers like Paula Scher and Aaron Draplin have such a gift for transforming client needs into unforgettable visuals. I strive to create designs that are both visually striking and effectively convey a client's message.

Hello there, my name is Franco. I am a professional Graphic, Web, and Motion Designer in Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK with over 20 years of experience. Since 2011, I have been working as an independent freelancer and began building my
personal website and online portfolio which represents one of my biggest projects so far, and to showcase and display the best selection of my published works on different media applications (print, web, and video).

There will always be something new to learn in life, especially in the design career where there is no limit towards the advancement of new technologies when it comes to creativity, it is an ever-lasting and infinite mystery that lies within the boundaries of our minds; time is precious and the best outcome for the learning process relies on the sharing of the knowledge. I hope to re-connect through this channel and start working on different projects, helping others solve their needs as well as learning how to become a top-rated talent and member.

I often seek inspiration through channels like Behance and YouTube, especially for tutorials and methodologies, always listening to good music!

Hello, Upwork Community!

My name is Ken, and I own a small retail mattress store. I LOVE what I do, but there is no denying that there is quite a substantial amount of downtime. There is only a certain amount of time that can be allocated to marketing and research while waiting for customers, and rather than reading, playing video games, or some other activity to pass the time, I decided to make some passive income by freelancing here.

I am in Greensboro, NC, and the weather is finally warming up enough that I found it appropriate to put my hummingbird feeders back up, one of my son's favorite things to watch! My son is the true motivation behind wanting to make my business succeed and my participation here; that little man lights up my life. I would love to proofread and edit papers from middle school through undergrad, which has always been my strongest skill. In my childhood, I even found errors written in Harry Potter! 

I hope to learn alongside you, make money, and help our clientele grow!

Hello all, I'm Jf (Annette) from Singapore. I joined Upwork couple years ago but wasn't really active but now I'm back and excited to take on more projects here. I've 3 years experience as an Innovation Specialist cum Business Analyst. Hoping to pick up from fellow freelancers how to "sell" yourselves, especially if you're successfully picking up projects which may not be related to your main bread and butter experiences i.e. I really want to do translation work but what's a good strategy to sell my capabilities. And of course to hear from other experienced members about their journey with Upwork!

One of my current inspirational character is Dory from Finding Nemo/Dory! All I can say is that "just keep swimming" is something I'm currently doing 🙂 Thanks for reading this everyone~
