Locked private Profile

[Brian C]

From the responses I've gathered, the bottom line is Money - if you're not earning, it shuts you down to private. I've submitted numerous proposals, just cannot land the first gig.

Thanks for the help, but please no more links to stuff I need to read. Upwork has more documentation on rules & regulations than NASA.

How do I know whether my account accepted/approved or it on processes? it doesn't show any notification on my account.

Hi Kalayu,

Your profile is approved, thank you.

I got a message saying that my profile is hidden because "We noticed you have not been working through Upwork lately. " How can that be? I am in the process of discussion a task right now on Upwork. I have been sending proposals nearly every day.  Does that mean "being inactive"? What else shall I do to be "properly" active?
Please, make it public back. I might lose contract because of it.

Hi Maria,

I’ve reset your profile visibility back to public. Just so that you are aware, profiles of freelancers with a history of earnings on the platform will remain public unless they have not earned in more than 2 years. 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. Thank you.

Hi Goran,
Thank you!

Hi,

I registered on Upwork a couple of years ago but have been inactive due to the fact that I had a highly demanding job. I'm ready to resume back now but found that my profile has been set to 'Locked Private'. How do I reset the visibility? And how do I prevent future occurrence of my profile being set to 'Locked Private'?

Thank you.
