I’m new on Upwork. I’m an n8n / Make / Zapier workflow automation developer (also Python and SQL), and I’ve built 4 working AI automation systems: lead response and booking, CRM automation, an AI ops assistant, and an outbound lead-gen agent. But on Upwork I have 0 jobs, 0 reviews and 0 invites so far.
I’ve updated my title, overview, skills (20/20), portfolio and certifications myself, but I’m not sure it’s set up the right way to rank and get invites. I also don’t know which jobs a new freelancer can realistically win. The jobs I found so far required past client experience.
What I need help with:
Profile audit: what’s stopping my profile from ranking and getting invites, and what to fix
Job targeting: finding small, winnable automation jobs (n8n fixes, Make/Zapier builds) suitable for a new freelancer
Proposals: drafting proposals for those jobs that win without reviews (I’ll review and submit them myself; no account access will be shared)
Strategy: a simple plan for getting my first 1–2 clients and first invites
Goal: first 1–2 clients and reviews within 15 days.
Please share what you’d include in a 1-week trial, and whether you’ve helped brand-new freelancers with 0 reviews get their first job.
