Hello fellow freelancers. I am Trevor Ngatia.

I joined Upwork 8 months ago, but unfortunately, I haven't been successful.  Any advice?

SIR Pradeeh H need your help pls

 I'm Tonami, I came to UPwork in order to have more clients because before I worked with companies at local levels but I decided to discover virtual clients through your platform

 Every time I make proposals for customers but it's as if they don't see my writing and that makes me waste connections in a vacuum

 So pls SIR help me for this case 

Thanks

Hi Tonami,

Thank you for reaching out to us. I looked at your profile and would like to suggest a few things;

You may want to consider creating specialized profiles to make your profile more attractive to clients. With specialized profiles, you can tailor your unique skills to your audience on Upwork and create variations of your profile that showcase your experience within specific categories. The specialized profile will help increase your profile views and get more jobs because when clients filter their search results by specific skills, only freelancers who have relevant specialized profiles will appear.
 
You can also create Project Catalogs based on the skills and services you offer. This is a new method for our freelancers to have clients come to them, giving freelancers the opportunity to create ‘projects’ that are pre-scoped with price, deliverables, and timeline. Clients can then search for these projects via a series of category pages (specific skills) and purchase them in just a few clicks.
 
You may also want to consider upskilling and learning new skills to increase your marketability. Competition is getting tough not only in Upwork but also on other platforms, especially since most people nowadays opt to work remotely. One possible reason might be also the fewer demands for jobs that fall under your selected skill set. You can also revisit the skills you have selected in your profile, only if applicable.
 
We also highly encourage you to continue to work to become a Top-Rated or Top Rated Plus Freelancer once you get enough recent work history. Having these badges in your profile will increase your invite and hire rate.

I hope this helps!
