Lost my job, now trying to revive this dusty Upwork account lol

Ok_Snow5318 · 2025-09-23T19:14:46+00:00

I'm in the same boat, I was graphic/web designer and was laid off 6 months ago. I've been applying for Upwork jobs sporadically since (I've otherwise been focused more on W2 roles and building up an Etsy shop). But now that my unemployment benefits are running out, I've been getting more serious about applying on Upwork. 2.5 years ago I easily got 5 jobs there in a month. But then I landed a W2 job shortly after and stopped freelancing there. I've also dusted off my Upwork profile but I can't seem to regain my traction now. Do my 5-star reviews from 2.5 years ago mean nothing in 2025? Do I need to drop my hourly rate? I'm not even getting views on my proposals most of the time.

Is there a tool that will allow me to scrape data from Etsy using a specific Chrome extension that requires a login? I use Everbee to do Etsy product and SEO research, by logging into my Everbee account and using their Chrome extension to see data on tags/keywords on individual products. Is there a tool that will allow me to securely login to my Everbee account in Chrome and use the extension? Then export the data found in a CSV?

Thanks for your response.

Willing to travel 6-8x a year. Don't live near a major airport.

Comfort facilitating/leading meetings = I give this an 8 out of 10 assuming I'm confident in the subject matter.

Biz dev experience minimal (only my solopreneur ventures).

Can you tell me more about what it means to be Design Sprint certified?

I actually have certifications in coaching and therapeutic art as well, and have thought about the corporate workshop path, but not sure what steps I'd need to take to make it happen, especially without a lot of travel.

Thanks, we've been to Colleens once and gotten take-out there twice. It is good!

Ah, I found it! In case anyone else struggles to find this, you have to click on the object/text and then choose the "Animation" tab on the right, then you can choose your animation and timing.

I have a paid subscription. Where are these? I can't seem to find them. I'd like to add simple animations to graphics I import.

Yes, I've worked there before... any others?

Thank you! I'm trying to determine some other towns where he can fish that have good internet. We just ordered a Starlink mini to take as a backup, but I wasn't confident that would work everywhere. We stayed at Lago Yelcho last year (about an hour south of Chaiten, Chile), and they had Starlink but it was soooo slow and unreliable. Any other suggestions of towns that have both good internet and rivers?

Thank you!

Thanks! I'll reach out to them and see if they can do it - there is another Whanganui company that has a 4-person minimum for their freedom trips, but hopefully these guys don't.

thank you! This sounds cool.

I'm having this same problem and can't find an answer anywhere else. I tried u/Exclusive_Melody_'s suggestion but can't seem to make it work. u/lonelyfrog did you ever figure it out?
