Hello, 
I created a profile on Upwork yesterday but I haven't received any confirmation email regarding the approval of my profile. Can you please let me know whether my profile has been approved or not, before I can proceed forward to use it?

Thank you.

Hi there,
I created my Freelancer account on UpWork yesterday and got myself approved. And then I sent three proposals but none of them got accepted by the clients. Firstly, I thought I'm new on the platform so it's normal but then today I received an email from UpWork with the subject, "Congratulations, Talit. Your profile is now live!" You're all set up to submit proposals for the projects you're targetting. Now this means, yesterday when I was submitting proposals for three jobs (which cost me 12 connects) my profile was NOT EVEN LIVE. So my 12 connects just wasted. That's why I request UpWork Support to at least let new freelancer know that only submit proposals when your profile is live. And I request UpWork Support to return my 12 connects back to my account, It will be a great favour. Thanks!
Best Regards,
Talit M.

Hi Talit,

I checked and your account was accepted yesterday. The confirmation email is usually sent within 24 hours from the time the account gets accepted. 

I checked and can confirm that your proposals were successfully sent to clients. This you can check under your Proposals page or Connects History.

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

Thank you!
