Hi,
I have been trying since last week to submit my upwork profile but it is not approving and there is no message to rejection.
@upwork
I will fix the issue in my upwork profile if somebody tell me the reason of rejection?
Regards
Umair Ahmed

Hello, my name is Sachin **Edited for Community Guidelines**.
I would like to know, whether my profile is approved and verified or not? And, can I start earning from my upwork account or not?
Or, is there something else that needs to be done to start earning?
I didn't receive any mail regarding my upwork account approval and verification till now.
Please let me know as soon as possible.
Thanks.
Regards.

Hi,
I am getting following message on my memberships and connects tab, why?
Your profile has not yet been approved

Hi Yunas,
I checked your account and it looks like you are an exclusive member of your Agency. Please know, as an exclusive member, you are only able to send proposals using the Agency's pool of Connects. To learn more about Exclusive vs. Non-Exclusive Agency Members click here.
Thanks!

My profile is old and I made an agency as this was a new feature back then. To buy connects I have to buy the monthly subscriptions b/c I have agency linked...
I want to get rid of monthly subscription and buy just connects. What should I do?
Nov 13, 2020 03:48:52 AM by Goran V
Hi Yunas,
At the moment you`re an exclusive member of your agency. In order to be able to work as an independent freelancer, you will need to update your status to a non-exclusive member.
Once this is done, we can also close your agency if you would like. Thank you.
