Hi guys, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've spent a lot of money, but nothing I've tried seems to work. I've been personalizing each letter and offering the best prices, even providing examples. I've been trying to update and adjust my profile constantly. Do any of you have advice? I don't want to give up. I need help understanding where I'm going wrong.

 

Here's my profile for reference: My profile 

 

Thank you for your help.

It’s gotten a lot harder lately than it was a year or two ago. It’s a numbers game - you need to send many proposals to get an interview. But I refuse to pay for connects - that’s how to lose money.

That's happened to me too. I've been spending so much money and time personalizing each letter. I think it's getting harder and harder. 😔😔😔

If I am understanding this correctly, we are unable to link or add work to our portfolios until we get a client here?? If that's correct, why? Wouldn't it be easier to get that first client if we were able to show what we are capable of?

How can I earn in Upwork 

 

Good question. I've done everything they suggested, but it's all for nothing. I just can't afford to spend so much money these days. Nearly £150 pounds for nothing is just too much
