Sahin,

Send me a PM if you want a few words about your profile. Yes, you're a genuine individual. I never thought you were a cabbage.

In your profile talk about what results you can achieve for your clients. In the proposal talk about what business results the client will get.

I have a Wordpress expert and pay her five times what you charge; my graphics expert is the same rate, and my internet researchers are about $40/hour. I would not hire you if only because you don't think you're worth a lot. I'm not going to argue with that.

Hi there,

Thank you for your words. I took it as a suggestion. I set up my account today. it's incomplete. I am trying to complete it. 

You wouldn't hire me--- it's ok. but--.. you would suggest me more. I am eagerly waiting for your suggestion again.

Best regards,

Sahin
