Activity Before Profile Going Live

[Rick C]

Hi. I signed up for Upwork yesterday and noticed that I had 20 Available Connects in my account. I immediately started applying for projects and even purchased some Additional Connects. Today I received an email from Upwork that says that my "profile is now live." Does this mean that the applications I submitted BEFORE my profile was live did not go out? I did not see any error messages when applying for projects, so my assumption is that my profile was, in fact, live yesterday before receiving today's approval email from Upwork. If my applications did not go out, why would Upwork allow me to purchase Additional Connects and use them? Thanks.

Hi Rick,

I checked this for you and all of your proposals were successfully sent. Your account was accepted yesterday while the confirmation email was sent to you today as it takes up to 24 hours for this email to be sent!

Please, make sure you check resources in this post to help you get started.

Thank you!
