How it works
Read the methodology →Map. Audit. Deploy.
Three stages, two Mints. You walk away with personalized diagnosis, a fresh Upwork profile strategy, new proposals playbook, and a 30-day action plan, built around your true situation, not a template.
01
Map your situation
Upload your CV and a screenshot of your Upwork profile, then answer a handful of nuanced questions about your goals, your stage, and the work you actually want.
- CV + screenshot upload
- Goal & stage intake
- Currency-aware rate fields
02
Audit with receipts
Gigminter benchmarks your profile against freelancers actually winning work in your niche, and tells you, with evidence, not flattery, what’s holding you back.
- Niche benchmarking
- Evidence over affirmation
- Direction-correction when needed
03
Deploy a playbook
Get a potent profile strategy, two proposal frameworks (Variant A + B), a job-targeting filter set, and a phased 30-day action checklist you can start deploying into Upwork the same hour.
- Profile + headline rewrite
- 2 proposal templates (Variant A + B)
- 30-day phased action checklist
Is this for you?
Four shapes of stuck.
Most freelancers are stuck in one of these. We’ve built Gigminter for all four.
● New on Upwork
The Newcomer
First gig still elusive.
You signed up weeks or months ago and the work hasn’t landed yet. We map the cleanest path to your first JSS-eligible win, without recycled "rookie" advice.
● Profile up · no traction
The Stuck One
You ship proposals, you don’t get invites.
Inbox is quiet, applications go nowhere. We diagnose what’s getting in the way, title, niche, signal strength, and rewrite around it.
● Earning · capped rate
The Rate-Ceiling Hitter
Steady work, frozen rate.
You’re paying bills but the rate hasn’t moved in a year. We benchmark you against the high-earners in your niche and ship a repositioning that opens the ceiling.
● Switching niche
The Pivoter
Your CV says one thing, your ambition says another.
You’re moving from generalist to specialist, junior to senior, or one industry to the next. We resolve the contradiction in your profile so the new direction reads cleanly to clients.

“My old profile read like a CV. Gigminter shipped a rewrite that actually sells outcomes. Invites went from one a fortnight to four a week.”

“What got me wasn't the rewrite. It was the recalibration. It said 'you're not a writer, you're a SaaS onboarding strategist' and meant it. I changed my title that night and nearly doubled my rate the next month.”

Common questions
Before you Mint.
Is this just GPT in a wrapper?
No. Gigminter is purpose-built for Upwork freelancers. It benchmarks your profile against the top 1% in your niche and refuses to flatter when the data says otherwise. Every Mint gives you honest answers, not affirmations.
What is the "top 1%" you benchmark me against?
It's the bar set by the highest-earning freelancers in your specific niche: how they title themselves, scope their specialization, frame proof, and price their work. Your profile is scored against that standard, not a generic completeness checklist. Every Mint shows you exactly where the gap is and how to close it.
How is this different from Upwork's own profile tips?
Upwork's built-in prompts check for completeness: add a photo, lengthen your overview, list more skills. Useful, but every freelancer gets the same generic nudges. Gigminter is about competitiveness. It benchmarks you against the top 1% in your niche, names what's actually costing you invites, and tells you the truth when something works against you. Completeness gets you a finished profile; this gets you a competitive one.
Will a rewrite get me flagged or penalized by Upwork?
No. Upwork actively encourages freelancers to strengthen their profiles. Gigminter never logs into, automates, or touches your Upwork account. You get a playbook, and you make the edits yourself, in your own words, on your own schedule. Nothing here breaks an Upwork rule.
What if I'm brand new, no profile yet?
Pick "I'm new" on onboarding. We need either your CV or a screenshot, both is best. From there we build your strategy from the ground up.
Do Mints expire?
Purchased Mints stay valid for 12 months*. Buy a 5-pack today and run them over the year that follows; they sit in your ledger until you spend them or the 12 months elapse.*Terms apply. Mints redeem against the product as it exists at redemption time. See terms.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, within 7 days of purchase if you haven't spent any of the Mints in the pack.
