How did you slip an A.I. reworked profile pic past upwork?

Seems like alot of buzz-word speak, with out a proven track record.

 

Your youtube channel comes across about like a crypto scam channel.

 

Just the way it all comes across. All sitting in the middle of the uncanny valley.

Ahmad,

 

Please focus on two keywords in the Title such as "Off-Page SEO and Technical SEO" or whatever matters the most to your clients. Reformat the Summary into four short paragraphs. Currently it is too long and spammy for clients. Remove the emoticons. Add a Project Catalog. Thanks!

Hi Julia, wrong forum, this is the forum for clients to post their questions and inquiries.

 

You are looking for either the Freelancers forum: https://community.upwork.com/t5/Freelancers/bd-p/freelancers
or the new to UpWork forum: https://community.upwork.com/t5/New-to-Upwork/bd-p/New_to_Upwork

 

People there can help you and quite a few pinned posts there to review on this matter.
