Humorme2:how did you get to the verification page on the account |
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Humorme2(f): 11:43am On Jul 23, 2022 |
Cruisegallow: When I was making some research about Upwork, I came across a post where a moderator said identity cannot be verified until a freelancer starts earning. I think that means until a freelancer lands his/her first job, they won't ask for ID verification. I can't be sure about this though. Probably ask someone more experienced with the platform. 2 Likes |

Cruisegallow: Don't limit yourself to Upwork , try other platforms too, Upworks has too much freelancer and experienced ones too. so might not be you. try AngelList or finding a niche skill. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Does anyone here do translation stuff. For example translating works from Turkish to English. If you do, or you have an idea about this, please I seriously need your advice. Thank you in advance. |

Humorme2: Lol. When I see comments like this I wonder if my case was different. I registered last month and simply "registered" I didn't submit any ID card till date, in fact, my profile was approved in less than 5 minutes. I'm not insuating that you are lying, I'm just wondering why I didn't face all that stuff. |

DrEmmy01: Can you briefly describe to us how to write a proposal? |

DrLevi:So being approved and being verified are two different things? 1 Like |

Deicide:I don't understand the concept of "approved" I think he just meant being about to use the account and apply for gigs. verified accounts have a checkmark close to the name and in the verifications side panel

DrLevi:If that's the case I didn't yet land any job when I was verified. That was mid last year sha. |
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Nobody: 12:11am On Jul 25, 2022 |
Deicide:weird, I verified around the same time and I had just landed my first gig Maybe other people can contribute when they got verified |

N2B2:Keep wailing and continue listening to ignorant advise. The real guys making it big from upwork will just laugh. Well I can not say more. Like my oga at the top has said $1k per month sitting at the comfort of your home as an undergraduate like me is still manageable in Nigeria dwindling economy. So stop listening to all the silly Ayitophel advice and work smarter. |
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by wasiubello: 12:45am On Jul 25, 2022 |
Humorme2:Yes, you're correct, verification will only triggered when you land your first job. I see many here that are newbies to upwork , that will rather read and learn but instead advising blindly 1 Like |

Like @officialDj has said earlier, what lands you jobs in upwork is mainly your proposal or cover letter. As a matter of fact, my profile is only 80% completion, but I got invite to all most every application I put forward. Last week I rejected an offer from a German hospital because I have my hands full already. So, If you want to land jobs in Upwork try and work on your cover letter. An enticing cover letter does 90% of the job for you, and really your profile 5 Likes |

Techmac00:To be honest, there's nothing like a proposal template. Just write as if you are talking physically with the client. Your proposals should be unique to each job post, don't try to copy and paste. Also be honest with them, some clients really appreciate honesty. In addition, don't be too formal. It's not a job interview. you are trying to tell someone you are the best man for the job so loosen up a bit and try to write from the client's perspective. Also, always prove you can do the job well in your cover letter. Don't use your cover letter to start listing all your irrelevant soft skills or all the companies you've worked for. Use this avenue to explain to the client how you are going to execute THEIR PROJECT. You can also ask questions if the job description wasn't clear enough, it might compel some clients to invite you for an interview so they can answer those questions and you further elaborate. Finally, make it short and avoid errors. Spelling errors irritate so try to avoid them. Also try to make your cover letter as brief as possible, reading long, repetitive texts tend to bore most clients. Always remember, you aren't the only one that'll submit a proposal for that particular job, so put that in mind and take note of the competition. I almost forgot, try to have a good portfolio. Especially for those who don't have any work history on upwork. It's not for show or display.it actually helps convince clients that you are experienced when there are no reviews on your profile. My first client actually referenced one of my work samples on my portfolio during my interview with him. 14 Likes 7 Shares |

Techmac00: You probably haven't landed your first gig. When you do so, you'll see a pop up notification telling you to verify your identity. If you don't do so before seven days, your account will be temporarily suspended. |
