To maximize productivity, we should prioritize reviewing the abundant posts from freelancers and clients flooding this community, rather than insisting on introductions. Community members rightfully expect a standard of customer service, and the emphasis on introductions seems misdirected and counterproductive.
Hoping some freelancer gives you a quick course on why customer service is important.
Best regards,
Ermal.

As a senior copywriter/scriptwriter with four years of experience at a leading marketing agency, I'm facing a challenging situation on Upwork. Despite my expertise and proven track record of delivering high-quality content for clients worldwide, I'm struggling to secure projects. Despite dedicating significant time and effort, I've yet to find success on the platform, resulting in the loss of numerous connects. While my work is valued by my employer, the lack of traction on Upwork is disheartening. I'm reaching out for guidance on how to improve my chances of success on Upwork. As a freelancer, it can be frustrating when you put in the time and effort into perfecting your craft, but still struggle to secure projects. Please professionals look at my profile and portfolio to give some feedback and suggestions for improvement. Your help is much appreciated.

What's wrong? Did someone steal your sweet roll? EAT THE CHEESE! EAT ALL THE CHEESE! In my honest opinion (I am only good at judging other people's profiles because I know mine sucks. I hate talking about myself.) I think you are funny, creative, and passionate about your craft, but people can't see that until they read your review on games. Your intro doesn't show off your abilities or personality, and that's what would get me to hire you. I thought the piece on the PS5 (I think?) was a little long-winded and could be cut down quite a bit. Try to stay away from cliches. What I loved about your copy on games was the fact 1) your sense of humor and personality manifested, 2) you gave more specific than generalized decriptions (that sentence with GTA about the leather was fire), and 3) you connected with your readers with little gems that only a person passionate in the same subject/game would know. That is what I look for in good copy. I'm a science writer, and my audience is different, but I do hire copywriters because I suck at it.
I'm sworn to carry your burdens...Lydia currently wants to marry me and it is very annoying. I like her better when she is snotty. And good job! You see what you did there? You introduced yourself to the community, you asked for help, you received some feedback, and you now made a friend who is willing to help in any way I can.

"Community" is defined as "a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common," or "a feeling of fellowship with others as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals." You have given your opinion on what all the rest of us should think, want, and feel, and, ironically, have succeeded in introducing yourself as one who gives misdirected and counterproductive advice, and personally I would avoid.
There are several kinds of customers that expect differing standards of service. The nice thing about freelancing is that you can pick the ones that appeal to you once you find your niche. Never assume anything and communicate professionally and often. Don't put your expectations on other people. Mirror how they wish to be treated, not how you feel like treating them.

Hello,
>> I am a graphic designer specializing in social media post design, branding, and canva design. I'm based in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
>> As someone relatively new to Upwork, I'm hoping to learn best practices from experienced freelancers on how to create an appealing profile, craft winning proposals, and build a successful book of business on the platform. I'm also interested in tips for time management, client communication, and pricing my services competitively.
>> I find inspiration in brands and designers that blend creativity with clear communication. Companies like Apple and Airbnb have such iconic and recognizable branding. Designers like Paula Scher and Aaron Draplin have such a gift for transforming client needs into unforgettable visuals. I strive to create designs that are both visually striking and effectively convey a client's message.
My Portfolio is attached to this message. And my Upwork profile link: https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/mdsabbirh68

Hello there, my name is Franco. I am a professional Graphic, Web, and Motion Designer in Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK with over 20 years of experience. Since 2011, I have been working as an independent freelancer and began building my
personal website and online portfolio which represents one of my biggest projects so far, and to showcase and display the best selection of my published works on different media applications (print, web, and video).
There will always be something new to learn in life, especially in the design career where there is no limit towards the advancement of new technologies when it comes to creativity, it is an ever-lasting and infinite mystery that lies within the boundaries of our minds; time is precious and the best outcome for the learning process relies on the sharing of the knowledge. I hope to re-connect through this channel and start working on different projects, helping others solve their needs as well as learning how to become a top-rated talent and member.
I often seek inspiration through channels like Behance and YouTube, especially for tutorials and methodologies, always listening to good music!

This is the part where I introduce myself. Greetings to you: I'm a proofreader. I like to proofread. I'd like to do that full-time. I am not doing that full-time yet. I'm from Mississippi. I graduated from college. My diploma rests in a closet somewhere. I love my country. And my state. Eh, my dog, too. Did I leave anything out?
Oh, apparently this is where we ask a question. Good, because I do have one: I'm so close to applying for some jobs here, but the rules and the how-to's (after clicking 'Apply') are not that clear for me. Does anyone reading this have some pointers, so that I can get the ball rolling?
