My boy has just finished learning HTML, CSS, JS and liquid. Nothing more nothing less.

Can he start working on upwork as a Shopify developer?

He doesn't have much experience but I believe I can learn more on jobs.

Any advice?

Yes Shopify discourages the use of frameworks to avoid bloats, he can jump into Liquid gigs. But for portfolio he will have to show comepetency in Liquid templating.

Building a simple theme is proof enough.

All the best

like as profitable as what a complete shopify developer would get?

Alikhadija, your profile is private.

Here's how to change your Upwork profile visibility to Public: https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/211060298-Set-Your-Profile-Visibility

N2B2:


I think landing jobs (or, at least, well-paying jobs) will be a struggle for you with this profile.

1.) Your profile needs to be "Public" before it can start appearing in Upwork's search results.
2.) You used a photo with a filter as your profile picture: unprofessional.
3.) Suggestion: set your work availability [i.e., hours per week] to "As needed."
4.) In your employment history, you said you have just 1 month of actual data entry experience.
5.) You outlined just 7 skills (out of a possible 15) on your profile.
- Some of those skills you outlined have nothing to do with data entry.
6.) Your "site assistant" work experience has nothing to do with data entry. I'll advise that you take it out.
7.) Your overview isn't in the best shape: you don't sell yourself or mention anything about the service you purport to offer.
8.) Your profile needs to be proofread. Spelling & grammar errors do great damage to your persona as a professional.

Hello chief. I’ve made the corrections you highlighted to the profile. I would appreciate if you could have a look at it one more time.
Also I want to ask, how many jobs do you advise one apply for on a average daily ?
I see some people advertising reviews. Do you have advise I buy reviews? I feel invisible on that platform.

OfficialDJ:
as someone who's been on Upwork since it was called Elance, I'd advise you to move away from data entry.

Those are for the bottom feeders

Data entry is part of the service I will be offering as a virtual assistant.

pocohantas:


Yes he has hired someone. Data Entry should be the icing on the cake as most Virtual, Administrative or Executive assistants would be expected to do some form of DE. If it is only everyday data entry, I am afraid you have just 1 in a 100 chance. Especially when put up against those Filipinos.

Yes you are right, data entry is part of V.A jobs. I feel invisible on those platforms.

JayReeMai:

Yes you are right, data entry is part of V.A jobs. I feel invisible on those platforms.

Jayreemai, are you using your search and filter extensively? What is the main service you are offering?

Hello Lordsagna,

-Your profile picture is bland. Please change it.

-Your portfolio looks amateurish.

-I believe video and animation is what you do. Is it the same as video editing? Anyway, I’ll advise you to keep the heading at just Video & Animation. The rest are the tools you work with, so list them further in your profile. You can list them out as your proficiencies;

Music
Adobe
Final Cut Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro

Others can pitch in, but that is what I noticed at a glance as I do not know anything about your niche. I also hope your profile is 100% complete and you are searching for jobs the right way.

First the barrier to entry for Video Editing is hard, because I manage my brother's profile.

1. My main advice, learn Adobe AE because at least you can sell the idea of creating montage with VFX and other effects
2. Offer to jazz up Youtube Videos, and offer subtitles and other transitions
3. Offer services of Video touch-up and post-production
4. The quality of your work is a bit based on local trends, try and adopt visual inspirations from Youtube since your client are mostly international.
5. Position yourself to touching Tiktok videos and Youtube

The problem some budding Upworkers here have is their presentation: they can't sell themselves, even those who are pretty good at what they do.

On Upwork, a freelancer's profile overview is just as important as their portfolio, in my opinion. How you describe yourself and your skills play a significant role in how prospective clients view you.

Here is half of your profile overview:

Professional video editor with range of experience with advanced video editing skills and knowledge of the latest video editing software, tools and techniques. Seeking position to grow personally and professionally in a video editing role.

Honestly, it's boring, bland, and poorly written — red flags that'll make even the worst clients on Upwork avoid you.

Let's go through the bold text:

1.) A professional (noun, not adjective) is adept, competent, and knowledgeable in their practice. If you use the word, you must portray yourself as such.

2.) A range of experience? Explain. How long have you been doing what you do? As Pocohantas asked, what do you even do? Video editing? Animation? If animation, which one — 2D or 3D? Why is the word "Adobe" in your title? Do you use Adobe Reader to edit and/or animate too?

3.) What "latest" video editing software can you use? What "latest" video editing tools do you have? What "latest" video editing techniques do you have? Are you up-to-date with animation, too, or is it just video editing?

4.) Looking to grow? Aren't you already a professional (or, at least, trying to portray yourself as such)? Clients need experts who will come and make an instant impact, either solving their problems or even going steps further to exceed their expectations. No one wants a learner, and you must never portray yourself as such. If you were looking for a plumber to fix your tap, would you prefer a youth who is just learning or an expert?

I know the criticism may seem harsh and even overwhelming, but these are things you should take note of if you want to get ahead of your competitors on the platform.

Good luck.

I'll make a research for that about platforms where you can make money with Video skills. I took up New Media in University, and took up premiere and AE, I have average knowledge enough for YouTube videos. I could outsource some YouTube gigs to you, because I have an interest in doing YouTube videos. Your video is good enough for what I need. Send me a PM
