Please can anyone help me to know the steps how to check if profile is approved as i have not got any mails .
Your profile is incomplete.
Every day 10.000 people try to join Upwork. 98% are rejected.
People who can't even be bothered to complete their profile have no chance.

Hi Alisha,
Petra's correct. Your profile is yet to be completed. I looked into your profile and found most of the information needed are blank. Once you've completed answering it, please click Review Application. Let us know if you need anything else.

How long does it take for a newly made profile to be approved ? I registered yesterday but still haven't received any approval or decline.
Keep in mind that upwork gets 10000 new applications a day and only approves 2% of them.
Re your profile: I have a faint idea what you are offering but no clue how that would work remotely, but aside from that, you are not allowed to be paid on a commission basis on upwork. Plus, how would you ever verify your client's success? You don't have access to their bookkeeping or something. So you might have to adjust your business model if you want to work through this site.

Thank you for the reply. My service is closing deals with prospects over the phone and it's perfectly fine to work remotely as like I mentioned it's a service over the phone. I can verify my client's success by knowing how many prospects on a daily/weekly basis have purchased the client's product/service through me. I understand I can't work on a commission basis and I'll readjust my business model.
