I’ve been working as a freelancer for over six months. I’ve been trying to actively maintain my Upwork profile. So far, I’ve completed 8 projects. Two of them have great reviews, but for some reason the other clients didn’t leave any feedback at all, even though I always tried to do more than what was required by the contract.

Earlier, I also tried buying Connects and submitting proposals myself. I spent around $100 on Connects, but unfortunately I wasn’t able to win any jobs. After that, I decided to use my Connects only to boost my profile. Everything was going well until I completed my last project.

Now my profile activity has dropped significantly. Either nobody views my profile at all, or I get only one or two views at most.

I’d also like to mention that I’ve already earned over $800 on Upwork. I have the Rising Talent badge and a 100% Job Success Score.

Why is my profile no longer being seen, and why have clients stopped contacting me directly?

I have a client with whom I signed a contract 4 days ago. We agreed that I would complete the work in 3-4 days, depending on the volume of work. Not only did he provide all the information on the project only today, but I also receive feedback from him once a day. I could have finished the work yesterday, but I am still waiting for the final feedback. Tell me, is this normal??
