Hi, everyone! Nice to meet you.

I'm a Freelance Writer from Indonesia who mainly works in fiction writing. I create world-building and character lores, brainstorm story concepts for you, and turn your ideas into a compelling narrative with a thrilling plot and captivating characters. Recently, I have also started to work on simple scripts for video games, voice acting, and comic strips, though I am still learning my way around this to further improve my skills.

I started this freelance writing business near the end of 2022 as a side hustle and went full-time in mid-2023 because I feel that this lifestyle suits me much better than regular office work. In the beginning, my work mostly revolved around non-commercial fanworks in the pop culture community but now I am slowly receiving opportunities to work on original commissions, both for personal and commercial purposes.

I am hoping to gain more experience and insights from fellow freelancers in the same line of work so I can better myself and reach out to more collaboration opportunities with clients and partners.

Thank you and looking forward to working together with everyone. 🙂

👋 to everyone at (well, the ones reading this forum anyway).

My name is Phil, I'm originally from the UK but love travelling .. a digital nomad, but with a home!?!?! See answer to Q1 for clarity.

1) I work in property (rentals, maintenance, refurbs and management). I'm currently based in Barbados (caribbean) but travel back to London every few months.

2) I'd love to learn how to gain a few repeat Clients in order to grow their businesses. I've run my own rental agency in the past (sold out to a competitor) and know how hard running a business can be.

3) I'm inspired by the "GO GET 'EM" brigdade.  If you're standing still you're not achieving anything.

Anyway, with being a Brit in the caribbean / east coast USA timezone I hope I can assist many Clients .. and indeed help a few Community members on here too.

Best wishes,

Phil

Hi Upwork Community,

I'm Alice, a newbie to the freenlance world, specializing in excel, word, project, proofreading, analysis, and reporting.  

As a newbie, I am eager to soak up insights from fellow members on creating proposals and making connections with potential employers.  Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

My inspiration stems from those who fearlessly venture into new territories, embracing challenges as opportunities for growth.  

I admire individuals like Walt Disney, who remind us to take action and turn our dreams into reality.

And the Walt Disney quote:  "The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing."

Looking forward to this new journey with your advice and guidance.

Best,

Alice
