Profile Introduction

[bushra_a]

Hello!

I have seen some freelancer's profiles on Upwork, that they initiate their profile intro by the reviews they have received from their clients. Is it okay? Please, someone tell me about it.  Thanks in advance.

I don't think it's a good strategy, personally, but it was very popular on Elance. I think that's where it came from. I think it says nothing about who you are, so I don't like it. But you'll get lots of opinions and you should just experiment and use whatever works for you.

Here's the thing.  When the client sees your profile, they only see the first two lines.  Make that first paragraph highlight your experience and expertise so the client will decided to scroll down.  I put some quotes from clients in the middle paragraph of my outline.  So far, so good.
