Today we are going to talk about what should be present in a freelancer profile. Okay, so from different sources, I have found the top freelancers on upwork.com and some on the freelancer.com. And I am going to show you their profiles. What are the key things I like in their profile and it should be present in yours, too. Okay. So first of this, we have this stuff per person, and I think he is a programmer from Poland.

And the main thing is that he has mostly programming languages listed over here. So his focus is basically programming, c, c++, Ruby, SQL, Perl, Python, he's Ruby on Rails, I think he's a Ruby on Rails expert, and you can see over here, even in his review, he said that he is highly skilled in programming, okay. So these are the things he listed over here. He also knows these, these these two, three things or four things. Okay. So you You can see over here, most of his jobs are also programming related.

Okay, you can see over here his tests, they are all programming test Python, Ruby Ruby on Rails programming with c++ he is really expert in all these languages. Okay. So this is how it makes up his great portfolio. Okay, now, next up is this I go Simonov and he has written a lot of text over here, which I don't recommend that nobody's going to read all that but the main thing is this title over here subtitle and all the skills we have listed over here okay. So you can see the match a lot Linux sysadmin and you can see he is basically system administrator and Linux and Unix systems I guess and he is expert in on in this, these two or one skills. Okay?

So very narrow focus. You can see over here good reviews and portfolio don't have much but a lot of tests and he's also top scorers in his tests, okay, these are all Linux based or Unix based tests that are his main skills. This designer he is he is also very focused and he doesn't have too many skills. That is why he is his job success rate is 100% He is just a photograph or and photo editor. Okay. So this is what you need to be keep your focus over here don't list too many things over here.

He has just two skills and he is good at them. And I have seen his video he has edited over his video and his skills on photo editing are superb. They are out class, okay. So you can see over here, here are some samples of his work. Then he have two tests that are related to his photography. These other things doesn't matter much but these are the things that matter okay.

So very short overview and I think he wrote about his education over here and photographed a video production photo retouching. Okay, so very short very concise. This is good. Okay, so let's move on to this one. This is also a programmer with JavaScript node and MySQL and ga next MongoDB and few more skills Okay, I think he is more of a PHP developer with some JavaScript skills okay. And now you can see in the last line, this is very good, he shows his experience that I am a very experienced in this programming field.

Then in the next line, he listed all the languages or the main things he is good at. Okay. So also in the end, you can see over here how he ends up some buzzword that will help you to find me are all these skills again. So listing out your skills really help in your overview, always try to list your expertise or languages or things you do over here, also your these two this title, and these skills should match a lot. Okay, so here we have a designer, graphic designer expert in developing brand images. You can see here her focus is on brand imaging.

Everything related to it is related to branding. And here you can see she has different headings on different sections. You can see over here application design packaging design. Okay, so again, we have a lot of great focus on branding only. Okay, this is how we can filter out and come out as a top rated freelancer. Let's move on to this.

Another designer web graphic designer nesta nevus. harden. And from my point of view, she has written a lot of different skills like web design, HTML, Illustrator, for development, okay, and the basic thing I like about her is that she have included a line over here that she really enjoys her work and she feels great pleasure in doing it okay. So, this is the main thing over here. Also she told that she is fluent in English languages and Russian languages okay. So this is basically two tips from over here that you love your work and you What languages or speak you speak or you can be communicated easily Okay, so your communication skills are good.

Okay, now next moving on to this. This is another website designer, and basically His focus is on HTML, PHP Okay, Zen framework. So basically he is running an organization Okay, so of course, if you play the video he will show that he has a palm who creates all these all sizes of websites. So he is basically all in one solution. He And produces all kinds of all sizes of websites. Even PPC SMM basically social media marketing.

Okay, so this is one person. So there are basically two kinds of freelancers I have seen over here, all in one solutions and very specific and very narrow focus where, like you can see over here this freelancer, she just have a focus on branding. Okay, so let's see some of the other profiles over here. On the freelancer. You can see over here, his title is good. Okay, so he's a senior graphic designer and illustrator.

And the main thing I really like about it is that every time I like this presentation a lot, okay. So always try to list down because lists are easier to scan by eyes and they can grab attention easily rather than, you know, reading this text. Nobody is going to read this full text, maybe they just keep listening Have first line and then they will focus on this area. Okay, so in your profile, make sure that you have listed all your skills. If you can divide them into skills and your tools you used that would be very good because most of the clients they might not know your tools, like balsamiq mockups or Sublime Text or whatever, but if they have expertise or they are product managers or project managers, they are going to look for the tools you are using. Okay, you can see over here he has listed his tools over here.

Tobler, straighter open design, Photoshop, 3d Max, Maya relevant tools, okay. So make sure you have listed your tools and services, both of them. So basically, reviewing all these profiles. I'm going to give you just two things. Okay. Number one, there are two kinds of freelancers are here, one that are very focused on one or two skills, and they have very high rates.

Let me show you the one we Okay, you can see your head $35 per hour just for photo editing, okay. So, second type of freelancers, they have multiple skills and they are touching, I think two grounds. One is design and second is front end coding and coding. So design plus code, or you can say hold solution, okay? So, the third, the second thing I'm going to show you is always specify your skills and your, the tools you use in a listed format. Okay, don't include very long lines for your introduction.

Nobody's going to read your preview text over here. Okay, so the second thing is that your designs should be very, very relevant to your description over here. So if you have written wireframes and the front end design or maybe a mock up design, they should be displayed over here. So you can see over here this guy is very specialized in brochure design and all his portfolio items our brochure design so he will be hired. Design job okay. You can see over here redesign factsheet designer cannot be artwork design and hire graphic designer logo designer Okay, so he's basically branding designer most of the time you can see over here His focus is on logo packaging design, t shirt design tag design vector visiting card, okay, so basically brochure cover page His focus is on branding design.

Okay, these are all the things I have seen in most of the profiles of freelancers and make sure that you list all your best works and relevant works over here. Okay, so don't upload your scrap work or old design over here, just the latest ones even they are few even if you have three or four designs, just list them over here. Don't try to fill up all your profile with scratch or junk designs. Okay. One thing I forgot about it is that in your image, use a very good smiling image of your face. Looking towards the client, do not look over here or over there.

Okay, so you can see this one this image is code, you can see this image is good. And this image is almost good. And don't use images like this one, okay? So, the clients mostly need to, you know, contact human being Okay, so you can see this image is cold, and this image is cold. So use your face over here. Okay, and try to get a good picture over here.

Okay, nice picture of you sitting on your PC and with your laptop. Okay, so these are a few of the tips. I am sure that these will really improve your freelance portfolio and profile so let's get ahead and let's move on to the next lesson.
