How to Write a Freelance Profile That Gets Replies

A good freelance profile does not try to impress everyone. It tells the right person, in a few lines, what you do, for whom, how you work and when you are available.

1. The title: who is it for and what do you do?

• Weak: "I do all kinds of work", "Freelancer available".
• Better: "Evening homework support for primary school children", "Phone product photos for small online shops", "Hemming and clothing repairs at your home".

2. The description: what, where, how, when

Two or three sentences are enough, as long as they contain four things: what you do, where you work (or that you work remotely), how a session or project works and when you are available.

Example: "I help primary school children with homework and activities at their homes on weekday evenings. I work in the Ataşehir area. A session takes about an hour."

3. What not to write

• Do not claim certificates, degrees or years of experience you do not have.
• Avoid claims you cannot measure, such as "guaranteed results", "the best" or "100% satisfaction".
• For work that needs a licence or a qualification, such as health or legal services, follow the rules that apply.

4. Photos: show your own work

• Use clear, well-lit photos of your own work or workplace.
• Do not upload photos in which a child's face is recognisable; they are not accepted on İşinn.
• Do not use pictures from the internet or anyone else's work.

5. Pricing and how you work

If you can, state how you charge: per hour, a fixed price or "by quote". İşinn lets you choose among these. Payments happen directly between the parties and İşinn does not mediate them, so write your cancellation and payment terms at the start of each conversation.

6. Publish, then improve

Your first listing does not have to be perfect. After you publish, update the description based on the questions people actually ask you.
