how to promote himself

martinribelotta:
Hi everyone, I am looking to promote my electronic engineering services and for that I have created a personal page with some examples of public projects on my github

https://martinribelotta.github.io/

Do you have any suggestions regarding this? Do you know where I could advertise effectively?

I have previously worked for local clients in my country (Argentina) but due to the crisis of recent years I am looking to expand to the world.

I would be happy to receive any opinions on this.

I can recommend you to use Upwork or similar platforms to find international clients with less effort.

In my opinion, consider Upwork as a last resort, unless you have savings and the patience to wait for more than a year to build a strong profile there. Everyone's experience varies, but mine hasn't been very positive. I've submitted over 300 proposals and secured only two small contracts, while obtaining three others through my own efforts outside of Upwork.

ClarenceMorse:
I'm also agree with the OP here. You can try freelancing marketplace for getting better jobs according to your skills. All the best!

Psi:
Most of the freelancing jobs people get come from existing contacts, recommendations, word of mouth.
Only a very small number of jobs come from direct advertising reaching someone.

Online freelancing marketplace are good though, get your reputation up and get money.
But you want to break out of that to directly interacting with the customers asap.
Anyone using a marketplace to get work done usually wants it done on the cheap.
So you are losing lots of income just doing marketplace jobs
