Hello,
In the description for the Freelancer Plus Plan, it says one of the benefits is:
I am not actively bidding on new projects because I have enough work right now. I do have two clients that I log hours into the work diary regularly.
I'm wondering how Upwork determines if you're active - by bidding or by adding to the work diary of an existing contract.
Thank you.

earning money 🙂
If you don't have any earnings for 30+ days, your profile is set to private and won't appear in search results, but clients you apply to still see it. It is not a big deal because you can easily have it set back to public just by contacting Support.

hi - if I update my profile, does it make it go inactive for a certain amount of time?

No, it does not.

okay, I'll just trust that it's active then even though it says it's inactive . . . how do I get my photo to show up? it still shows a generic icon for my face . . . trying to get set up here . . . . thank you for your help

the photo only shows up here at the forum, not on my home page - not sure how it looks to others

Nori, yours is a client account, no? In that case none of this applies because clients don't have profiles and nothing goes inactive. What says "inactive?"

oh, okay - I'm not sure because I clicked on my account and it said it was inactive, maybe it just meant I'm a client
so I'll just not worry about it
you're the best - thanks for your help
