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

Meanwhile I just saw an email from Upwork stating that my account has been deactivated permanently.
I am in shock because to the best of my knowledge I have not violated any of their rules.
I haven’t received any money outside Upwork and I have running jobs.
I have pending money to receive there����
I sent an email to appeal and this was their response.
I don’t know how to even start.

Sorry about this. Has the situation been resolved?

Were you using VPN?

If they take the account down, it would go with your earnings. It is advisable to move your earnings once it is available.

You've been inactive for a long time, you have to get a client and get a gig, but clients will see your profile when you apply.

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 it is good, my advice search for Business Presentation and also Graphic Design, start with an entry level job for now to just get a review.

Make it a habit of applying for 10 gigs a day

Also put these in mind:

Apply for Gigs shows the clients keeps monitoring the job offer, you will see it, also apply for gigs with less than 5 proposals so that your chances of being seen is high also post your works, in your proposal also

Saves client the time from heading to your profile.

Well said. If the job is one that requires good spoken English. Maybe a customer care or phone support role, attach a voice recording. I advised a friend to do this and it worked like magic. Saves the client time and puts you as a proactive applicant. grin grin

In my opinion, NO.

Your portfolio is great, but other parts of your profile need to be worked on if you're to outdo other freelancers to well-paying clients.

First, read the quote below. It's a review I did for another Upwork freelancer's profile on request. I've left the parts that I think apply to your profile.

N2B2:


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

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."
5.) You outlined just 5 skills (out of a possible 15) on your profile.
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.

Read these links:
- https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/211063208-Sample-Profiles-and-Best-Practices
- https://www.upwork.com/resources/upwork-profile-examples
- h[url]ttps://morganoverholt.com/upwork-profile-examples/[/url]

You can also lookup the top-performing freelancers in your niche and compare their profiles to yours, to see what's working for them that could work for you. I'm not saying you should plagiarize their content (or worse, steal their portfolio), as you can be reported.

Remember: Upwork is highly-competitive; freelancers are constantly trying to outdo each other. So, anyone who can't even sell themselves is no competition and will go unnoticed by clients.

I hope you read all that; it'll help you. You're asking for $25/hr on your profile, but if your profile doesn't look $25/hr-worthy, your chances are shot.

For reference, here's a Nigerian graphic designer on Upwork: https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~0156882b85f6aa7439 See how articulately the freelancer lists his skills and sells himself. You can take a leaf from his book and properly edit and structure your overview.

Good luck!

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?
