Hi Moe, 


I checked your account and can see that you are being asked to complete your video-chat verification which is why you are currently unable to submit proposals. Please complete the verification process so that the temporary limitation to your account can be lifted and you can start working on Upwork.

Hi Michael,

 

Could you please confirm if you're experiencing this issue while you're using your freelancer account or the agency one? 

 

Currently, your status is the exclusive member of your agency. That means that you can only apply for jobs under the agency and can’t apply as an independent freelancer. 

 

If you'd like to update your exclusivity, log into your Upwork Agency account and look under Settings > Members and Permissions.

 

Thank you!

Hi!

Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately when I follow your instructions I can't find a setting that
allows adjust my exclusivity in Members and Permissions.

What else could it be?

Kind regards

Hello Michael,

 

Thank you for your message. You will need to switch to your agency account before you access your Members and Permissions on the Settings page. You can switch to the agency profile from the drop-down at the top right of your Upwork page. Feel free to message us if you need further assistance.

 

Thank you.

Thank you for your help! I got to send my first proposal 😀

Hi! How do I get Connects? Its saying that, 

 

You don’t have enough Connects to submit this proposal.

Hi Abul Hasnat Mohamm,

 

If you need more Connects to submit a proposal, you will have to purchase them from your account. Connects are not sold individually, but bundles begin at $1.50 for 10 Connects. Regardless of which bundle you choose, all Connects are priced at $0.15 apiece. Here are your bundle options:

 

10 for $1.50

20 for $3

40 for $6

60 for $9

80 for $12

 

This can vary based on your location, but all Upwork users will be able to purchase Connects with a credit card or prepaid card. If you aren’t able to use a credit card or prepaid card or you don’t have an Upwork balance, in many cases you’ll be able to use PayPal. To see the options available to you, click here.

hello, Avery me too, I cannot submit proposals on my upwork. pls help. thanks

 

hi. Im Janiero. Can someone help me understand upwork. i Am new user. and now connected to an agency. i want to maximize my upwork account by initiating another proposal to a client. but i cannot submit a proposal, and says my accoutn is private. how come? pls help me. thank you.

Hi Janiero,

 

I have checked your account and it looks like you are an exclusive member of an agency. Please note that Agency members who are exclusive work on Upwork only as part of their agency. This is the most common type of agency relationship. Their profile and proposals are branded with the agency to make the agency’s part in the work relationship clear to clients. All contract payments are paid out to the agency. Exclusive members don’t have the option to submit proposals as an individual and all their proposals are submitted as members of the agency. Please check this help article for more details.
