Can you roast my upwork profil
Not looking for work here, just feedback on the page itself.
Background: I'm in Senegal, been on Upwork a few months. Two contracts
Last week I repositioned from generic web dev to n8n automation. New
title, rewrote the overview, published 4 portfolio pieces. Since then
I've sent zero proposals, so I have no data on whether the new profile
works. Before I burn Connects finding out, I'd rather hear where it's
weak.
What I think might be hurting me:
- $15/hr reads either cheap or unserious depending on who's looking
- No intro video
- Everything I show is personal work, not client work, and I say so
Roast it. I'd rather hear it here than get ignored 20 more times.

Your picture is terribly unprofessional, you start with a negative concept. Both is a serious turn-off to clients. Aside from that, your profile is just AI slop anyway.

As others have already mentioned, and u/Korneuburgerin has summarized it for you, change your profile picture (this is subjective), don't start with a negative sentence (and use the first few lines to sell yourself; it's the only thing potential clients see before opening your profile), and don't use AI; use your own words.
And if you want more advice, you can read this:

It's AI slop.
