Mariia started using Upwork in October 2023 as a graphic designer specializing in brand identity creation. Her friends who use Upwork recommended it to her, as she was looking for remote work opportunities.

She learned about Boosted Profile from watching videos and reading articles on the Upwork community, and started using it immediately after joining the platform.

“I began using Boosted Profile almost immediately after registering. After watching various videos and reading articles on the Upwork community, I realized it was definitely worth trying.”

She keeps Boosted Profile top of mind as an option to drive client engagement.  Boosted Profile helped her get hired with increased visibility when she didn’t have any reviews.  As she started using Boosted Profile, she noticed an increase in profile views, clicks, and client inquiries.  This is how she expected Boosted Profile would help her expand her work experience.

“For newcomers, it's a fantastic opportunity to increase profile visibility to clients. I noticed that by having a well-packaged profile, a professional portfolio, and clearly showcasing how to solve a client's problem, the likelihood of getting hired increases, even without reviews.”

“When I actively used it, I secured several [projects], one of which was through boosting, and it happens to be my most lucrative and longest project to date.”

The decision of when to boost her profile and how much to spend on it usually depends on her schedule and workload.  Mariia capitalized on using Boosted Profile to build her experience taking on lucrative projects.
