No, please, by all means! This is not a monopoly. Wish you had gone ahead. You can still chip in. We all need each other and we all see different sides to things. Nobody's view is irrelevant here.

I had wanted to say something about that too yesterday but had to attend to my work. So, please say what you were trying to say. Don't wait for me.



islamics:

I am not a pro on Upwork cos I don't even have account yet but I will suggest you improve on the list of skills you put. I may b wrong. Let's wait for @Coderific to finish his prescription.

It's the first thing that will be noticed. True.



Fingerprinter:

Hahaha. So, you noticed too? Without mincing words, if I'm one of the people reviewing profiles on upwork, I won't look twice before rejecting his account.

Well, a lot has been said already. I don't want to go back over those or deprive others of the opportunity to say something.

There's so much to tell you about your profile. A lot of things are not right about it. It's impossible to write out everything I've seen, from skills to grammar to presentation, to portfolio.

You're in a hot niche. Your profile needs to look like that of a true expert. You are kind of all over the place with your skills. Mentioning every single one of them and in an organized format. Your profile is more about yourself than about your clients and how SPECIFICALLY your skills can improve their business and their web experience.

Are you about the architecture of websites and apps, or about bug fixes? Speed? What do you major in? What kind of websites? From scratch? What kind of problems exactly did you solve for those clients you spoke about? What companies did you work with in the past? You need to really narrow it down. And all these details need to go into your profile.

Please, remove either "professional" or "expert" from your headline. Using both is an ambiguity. No need for any of the two, in my opinion. Words related to your niche shoukd show up more. How come the word "developer" hasn't occurred to you?

Like I said, there's so much to correct. We can't tell you all at once, you'll be overwhelmed. How about you start off making corrections with what we've said already before we go to the nitty gritty of things, particularly your skills as affects your clients? That's what I would've done, I would've started making the corrections. As of today, and I just checked your profile again, you haven't changed anything.

It helps to browse through other profiles in your niche to see how they present themselves. It helps a lot. Get involved in the learning process even while we are guiding you. See what subniches have become overused and avoid those ones. Implement, post here again, and we will revise till you're approved.

If I see changes, only then will I say more.

I wish you all the best.

Point of correction.

Not....

[s]"You were mentioning every single one of them in an organized format"[/s]

Correct one is....

"You were mentioning every single one of them and in an unorganised format"

1. Build your Profile: Upon having the zeal to make big money in dollars online and zeroing on a particular freelancing site to get clients, you are also expected to create a catchy, WELL FOCUS profile that will give the discerning client an air of relieve he is hiring the best fit for the job, while did I activate my caps lock key on "well focus", is because I have observed that most freelancers always want to do all jobs out there, whether they are skilled in it or not. My advice however, is if you are a writer, then specialized in an aspect or two at most in this beautiful field of writing. Every client out there want to hire the best fit for the task, so If your profile description reads Astute Writer, Data Entry Specialist cum Virtual Assistant, client won't take you serious. Be focus, that's the aim, If you go with; Professional Content Writer! this spells seriousness and captures the need of a client who need a content writer. I will explain more about this in subsequent writing here, so stay glued! Building a credible profile can take me a whole e-book.

2. Bid for Job: Guys time with out number, I have emphasized that freelancing site isn't a platform for spamming, that is why you must be FOCUS, sit yourself down and answer this simple question " what skill can I give most effectively" then work around that answer. However, your bid proposal should be apt and tailored to the job post. For some client, in making sure that all bidders read their job post, they sometimes includes word(s) you must include in your bid proposal. So carefully read job post and importantly, understand what the job requires, check if you posses the relevant skill(s) because this is among the pointers for inviting job bidders. My advise; for starters, quote a low price, I will dedicate more writings on here, so stay glued!

3. Stay Online: Guys freelancing is a career, just like in the bible God ask Jeremiah "What seeth thou" so I ask you now, what do you see? your answer will form your innate ability to greatly succeed in this ocean of opportunity call freelancing. Yes, it just don't stop at bidding bidding bidding for jobs, Stay connected always 24/7 especially for starters. Most client during invite many bidders for a job and gives it to that person you is of course online at the time and meet his requirements. Some clients need to invite you for a quick negotiation, update etc, so you must find means to always stay connected 24/7

4. Customer Service: Yes, this is what puts me ahead of other I think, so everybody can write, and proofread, but not every body knows how to retain a client, "I Know" and am using it to my advantage. I will write more on this subsequently, stay glued!

5. Ask for review: Also, the fruit, of our customer service skill will make your client always give you excellent review, most importantly, most freelancer don't know you can bargain/negotiate price quote with asking for excellent review and 5 star rating nothing less. I will write more on this subsequently, stay glued!

Haha! quite true.However, the OP didn't mention I'd have to create the content. Secondly, taking day 1 to do the following makes it a possibility:
1. The research.
2. Compile the bibliography.
3. Get a citation software.
4. Draft in rough form, passages or entire chapters so to copy and paste.
