Hi Khuda,

As a newcomer to Upwork, I am currently facing challenges in securing my first client. I am considering joining Upwork Plus in the hope that it will improve my situation. There are a couple of points that I would like to discuss:
I am not a proponent of hourly rates. Sometimes, I feel that the rates I display on my profile are too low, and this might give the impression that the quality of my work is also low. However, many projects require hourly rates when submitting an offer. How should I proceed?
I am curious about whether my profile is optimized for maximum effectiveness.
Mar 29, 2023 07:53:05 PM by Alper D
Your rates should be comparable to other lawyers hourly rates in Egypt. Your area is a bit challenging as laws differ between countries so i'm not sure if you can sell your services globally. Someone must need a lawyer in egypt and they have to be outside egypt to use your services. That market may not be so big.
Mar 31, 2023 04:14:44 PM by Mohamed H
Actually, I don't offer the common services Egyptian lawyers offer. I am specialized in international law. International contracts, international construction contracts. It is a niche.

The only way to work with clients through Upwork is by submitting proposals. Competition is fierce on Upwork, so receiving invites or getting jobs after proposal submission is a challenge--even for some Top-Rated and Top-Rated Plus freelancers.
You may want to join the Upwork Engineering Group to collaborate with other freelancers, some of which are in mathematics, engineering and electronics fields.

hi,
Unfortunately, I didn't earn a single dollar on upwork I guess that is why my profile goes to private. Now how I can change It to the public? Can anyone help me there?
I can not afford any membership right now please give me a free solution.
Thanks for your consideration and your time.
