Upwork profile stuck at 6 jobs / $65 earned views & invites have dried up. What am I missing?
Hi everyone
I am a freelancer from Pakistan specializing in Online Reputation Management (ORM), Google Reviews Removal, and DMCA Takedown services on Upwork. My profile stats:
100% Job Success Score
6 completed jobs, $65 total earnings
Title: "Online Reputation Management | Google Reviews Removal | DMCA Expert"
Rate: $4.99/hr
For the past while, my profile impressions, views, and invites have basically flatlined even though I'm submitting proposals consistently. I've tried adjusting my title and overview to be more keyword-specific, but nothing seems to move the needle.
A few things I'd love feedback on:
Does my niche (ORM/DMCA) come across as too narrow or too competitive for a profile with low job history?
Is $4.99/hr too low, or does it signal "low quality" to clients in this space?
Any tips on getting invites specifically, versus just relying on proposals?
Appreciate any honest feedback — even if it's blunt. Trying to figure out what's actually holding this back.
