not a single *edited* job accepted

It seems like this place is for flakes and people who have been on here for years!

 

How in the **edited for Community Guidelines** does someone succeed with 12 years website design expereince and online marketing yet none of these **Edited for community guidelines** respond to your proposals?

 

seems like a scam to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In general, if someone wants help or advice, they don't call their fellow freelancers "flakes" and the clients "**Edited for Community Guidelines**". Or is that the kind of online marketing experience that's been successful for you in the past?

The first step is to change the attitude.  You won't succeed with negativity.  I've been on the platform for over a year and have had success.  Prior I worked in digital marketing for a publisher for 11 years so I understand your frustration.  It just takes time.  Do a few quick jobs to get started and then look for the long-term partners.  Also, don't put all of your eggs in the Upwork basket.  Try other platforms, Facebook, Indeed, LinkedIn...

 

I wish you lots of luck.

Sounds like it's best to shut down your account and move to a platform that will suit you better. Best of luck.

You are not verified yet but I guess you moved in with one of your clients since you are living in the US now.
