Hey everyone!

Around two weeks ago, I found Lex DeVille's thread about his Upwork tutorial, and since then, I have watched all the videos he made and started working on making changes. I changed my profile entirely to be specific to a certain niche which is "landing page web developer." I added more projects to make my portfolio look better. I started writing "you" specific proposals.

But still, nothing has changed; I am still getting 0 messages from any clients. I am not 100% bothered by not getting any job hires, but it's frustrating that not even a single person has messaged me.

I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me what I am doing wrong or what needs improving.

My Upwork profile: https://upwork.com/freelancers/~0198b30ad56d2e9f6d
Proposals I have written: Upwork Proposals

Thank you in advance if you decide to help me.
