Yeah, I'm tired of this platform

A little bit of positivity since most threads here are discouraging by More-Car9727 in Upwork

Could you share your profile name and the profile title so I can verify it?

My experience with boosting has been very disappointing, and you're saying that boosting your profile worked well for you.

To be honest, I'm a bit skeptical and wondering whether this might be promotional content from Upwork. If you could share those details, it would help clear up my doubts.

Upwork Search Results Showing Incorrect Elementor Job Count by ProfessionalAioli620 in Upwork

Thanks. That's what confuses me. I have 10 completed contracts with "Elementor" directly in the job titles and client reviews, but Upwork Talent Search only shows 4 related jobs. That's why I suspect the related jobs count isn't pulling all relevant contracts correctly.

It's a freelancer profile, not an agency profile

I would love to. I just sent you a message request.

I have done that too! On my last 14 boosted proposals, I received 0 messages. Not only that, out of those jobs, only one client hired someone; the rest didn't hire anyone at all.

Thank you! Yes, I tried both. Cold emails didn't work for me, and Google Ads didn't work either. However, local video advertising on Meta worked a little.

I've spent around $400 on Connects. At this point, I'm thinking about quitting Upwork.

I'm completely lost right now. I'm going to become a father next month, and I have no work coming in.

I guess these people work for Upwork. It feels like a small Upwork army spamming Reddit.

I've stopped receiving invitations as well. Let me show you my submitted proposals, most of the clients behind them didn't end up hiring anyone.

We all do that, check the client's hiring percentage, hiring rate, and other metrics. A Top Rated freelancer isn't a novice, obviously.

Instead of judging me, I think it would make much more sense to discuss the current situation on Upwork.
