Spent $150 on a Fiverr gig to write my profile and got zero views in two weeks
Figured I'd save time by paying someone who knew the platform to spruce up my Upwork profile. Guy had great reviews, seemed legit. Two weeks later, absolutely nothing changed in my invite count or views. Ended up rewriting everything myself in an hour and started getting messages the next week. Has anyone else had luck with paid profile services or are they all fluff?

Guess the secret sauce was just typing it yourself for free.

Does Fiverr even check if those gigs violate Upwork's ToS against using third party writers?

Oh no way! I basically had the exact same experience but with a different freelancer. Paid like $100 and got crickets. The funny thing is the bio they wrote was so generic it could have been for anyone in my field. My own crappy version at least sounded like me lol. These services are just copying templates and calling it a day.
