Hi, I'm new here and would love to get a profile review especially with my overview and my billing rates. Thank you

Rita,
You are bright and conscientious, but those are not things you can sell on Upwork. Freelancing is about offering a specific service to people. Are you a writer, a designer, a translator, an engineer? These things lend themselves well to freelancing. Being in love with pets (and everyone applauds that) is not a service you can sell unless you figure out how to be an onlline freelance veterinarian.
That said, a nutrition expert for animals -- that's something you could turn into a service. But I donn't think many clients come to Upwork for advise about their pets. You should research that; stranger things have happened.
You say you love writng. That might be a service you can sell. Look up other profiles of writers and try to locate ones with high earnings and favorable reviews. See what it takes to be a writer on Upwork. You can tell by looking at earnings and reviews.
That said, there are 1.5 million writers on Upwork, so the competition is fierce. Keep that in mind, too.

Hi Andrea, may i seek feedback about may profile here at Upwork?
Mar 13, 2023 11:18:10 AM by Anthony H
Struan,
Writing in all capital letters is a horrible idea. Just by the look of it, no one will want to ready your write up.
Secondly, you never say what you actually do. You are some kind of busines expert. What kind? Are you a supply chain expert, a human resources expert, a systems expert? What?
You make it sound like you're a magician -- and a very loud one at that. You seem to say you can fix any business issue that comes up. I highly doubt that's the case.
Be more specific. People want to know where their money is going and what their money is doing. They generally don't hand their money to someone who promises the sun and the stars with no concrete evidence that you're an expert at all.

Angela,
Your profile is a bit skimpy. It is all nicely done, but sometimes people need to spend a bit of time with you, a perfect stranger, before responding to a proposal of yours.
I don't know how to extend your profile, but I would read other profiles of similar workers and see if you can get ideas from them. As for the basics , a profile should establsh yourself as an expert (check), be friendly (you did fine) and show confidence. You've done all those things ... so it's up to you whether or not to add to it or not.
Good luck.

hello... is my upwork profile is good enough to get job from this platform? someone help please
Mar 13, 2023 06:17:20 PM by Anthony H
Sidra,
Your job title says "content writing, virtual assistance, Data Entry, Review"
That is very careless writing. Content writing should start with a capital "C" and data entry should be written with a small case "d" and "e." Then you have the word "Review," which is capitalized and hardly means anything at all. Review what?
You have to be much, much more careful if you are going to claim you are a writer. You have barely gotten started on a profile and it is not in good shape.

Hi everyone.
I have probably applied to 100 jobs and had 1 proposal. What could I be doing wrong? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you
Hilna
Mar 14, 2023 08:22:21 AM by Anthony H
Hilna,
Clients like to know that you can get results. They like to know that you finish jobs and don't leave them hanging.
You described your job descriptions, but can you say a bit about your history with copywriting and proofreading. "I have worked with all kinds of clients in the past ... " or "I have worked with Internet copy and academic reports ..."
Clients need to have confidence in you. You're just a stranger to them. You have to let them know their fears are covered ... "I always meet deadlines ..." "I give you a finished product ..." things like those ideas help.
Do you use credentialed standards in your proofreading? If so, I would mention those, as well.

I'm not new but I've never been hired, does that apply to new?

Your profile has been set to Private
Try fixing that and start applying for jobs more often.

How can i get simple work like photo resizes,colour change, copy paste etc iam a new freelancer
Mar 14, 2023 08:17:31 AM by Anthony H
Mr. Rocky,
Pick one of those skills that you do very, very, very, very well and focus on that. This is not a one-stop shopping excursion. Freelancers are boutique businesspersons.
