Hi all,

 

If you are a new freelancer and don't earn money on Upwork within 90 days of your first proposal, or you choose not to submit a proposal within your first 90 days, your profile will change to private. When your profile is set to private it is not shown in freelancer search results but rest assured, clients are still able to see your profile when you submit proposals!

 

You can request that your profile visibility is reset by clicking this link found in this help article.

Can any representative from Upwork unlock my profile? I tried, it is not giving me any option to unlock it. I want to start bidding.

Hi Adil, 

 

I reset your profile visibility to public as requested. You should be good to go now!

Profiles of freelancers with a history of earnings on the platform will remain public unless they have not earned in more than two years. Resuming earnings on a new contract or upgrading your membership to the Plus plan will prevent this. You can check out more info about this here.

Hello,

 

My account says Locked Profile. How do I navigate this.

Hi Boniface,

 

Thank you for your message. I am pleased to inform you that your profile is reset and the visibility is set to Public now.

My profile shows Locked Private. I created it a long time ago and actually just started to reach out and submit proposals recently. Can I have my profile updated? I have submitted multiple proposals that would be a great fit but I dont think my profile is even being seen. Could you help me reset it to Public ASAP please?

Hi Saqib,

 

Rest assured, when you submit a proposal to a job post the client can see your profile even if it is private. I went ahead and reset your profile visibility back to public as per your request.

Hi... Andrea G

 

Thank you so much... One more thing: How can I verified my account? There is no 'identity verification' option in setting?

Saqib, I checked and it doesn't look like you are required to complete any verification at the moment. The team will let you know if there is a need for any verification in the future.

I'd like to note that your client will see your proposal and profile even if your profile's visibility is private. Profiles of freelancers with a history of earnings on the platform will remain public unless they have not earned in more than two years. Resuming earnings on a new contract or upgrading your membership to the Plus plan will prevent this. You can check out more info about this here.

   Good afternoon,Avery.

   Could you help me to make my profile visible to everyone. I have already registered for upwork for a long time and then I thought that my knowledge would be enough for professional execution of orders. But it turned out not to be so, so I had to leave upwork. I have taken up studies and projects in this area to improve my skills and knowledge in these areas. To show a high level of professionalism. Now I have achieved great success in my studies and projects and decided that I can return to upwork. I almost completely filled out my profile, it remains only to lay out all the other projects. And I started looking for customers to do the work. Therefore, I believe that my level is now worthy to work on upwork. And I really want my profile to become public, please help me with this.
   Best regards, Mikhail Maksimov. Russia.

Hi Michail,

 

Your profile visibility is now updated, thank you.

Hi Nduka, 

 

I’ve reset your profile visibility back to public. Profiles of freelancers with a history of earnings on the platform will remain public unless they have not earned in more than 2 years while profiles of new freelancers who haven’t earned on Upwork will be set to private after 90 days. To avoid this, you can resume earnings on a new contract or upgrade your membership to the Plus plan. You can check out more info about this here.
