Hi Gokul,
Having an informative profile is one part of successful freelancing. Clients often search for qualified freelancers, so you want to make sure your profile is engaging, showcases your skills/qualifications, and focuses on the quality you can provide to the client.
Also, your proposals and cover letters play an important role in convincing prospective clients that you are the best candidate for the job. Many clients, who wish to learn more about you, will view your profile if your cover letter is persuasive.
I reviewed your profile and everyting looks good. There are some grammatical errors in your summary and the summary could use some stronger words to appeal to prospective clients.
Greetings are nice, but they take up space. The first two lines are important because the client sees these two lines when they search, and you want to make an impact with meaningful words. Besides, your name is on your profile, so they already see it.
Then, correct the grammar issues and add some more strength like this:
I am a highly skilled Video Editor with more than a year of experience making viral TikTok reels, Youtube shorts and other video products for my clients. I have helped more than 100 content creators and brands promote their brands by creating engaging short-form videos for their followers.
My clients request a variety of videos and I have been highly successful due to my reliability and my attention to detail. Throughout your video project, I interact with you during each step and provide advice on everything needed to produce the final video.
My skills include: (everything after this is good) |
After you make these minor changes, just keep applying to jobs by writing great cover letters. Always create a custom cover letter based on the client's specific job requirements. Focus on the client's needs and requirements; highlight your qualifications; and tell the client how you will meet their needs.
Good luck!
Kamran,
Your profile is good. I have only one suggestion to improve your overview/summary:
The first two lines are important because the client sees this when searching and you want to provide interesting information that convinces them to read your entire profile. I suggest you remove the content in the screenshot above and rephrase the next few lines:
Are you looking to generate maximum interest in your products or services? I'm a highly effective Lead Generation Specialist who helps businesses achieve first-rate growth using a proven lead generation strategy. My goal is to turn your customers' interest into sales and success for your business.

(Instead of Specialized Points, say something like What services do I provide?)

(Everything after this is fine)
