Hi Jean Peter,
If you are a new freelancer and don't earn money on Upwork within 90 days of your first proposal, or you choose not to submit a proposal within your first 90 days, your profile will change to private.
When your profile is set to private it is not shown in freelancer search results but rest assured, clients are still able to see your profile when you submit proposals!
You can request that your profile visibility is reset by clicking this link found in this help article.
Update:

Please help me so that it can become public once again.

Hi,
This issue of the private profile is not helpful at all with new freelancers. For three days in a row, I've been requesting my profile to be set on PUBLIC, so I can get some feedback from experts, as I'm not getting contracts. Unfortunately, the request - promised to be solved within 4 hours - has not been addressed yet.
I understand this is a strategy for you to get subscriptions, and I understand this is how it works and that the platform needs those payments. But I still can not access the public profile, not even with the Plan I've paid.
How can I get my profile public back?
Thanks.

Hi, dear Annie,
I've just checked my profile. It is still not available/not public. I've attached some evidence of it.
I appreciate your checking this matter; I just want to participate in this thread to get some advice because I'm not getting any contracts.
Thanks.
Sep 29, 2022 11:14:28 AM by Andrea G
Hi Angela,
I can confirm your profile is currently public. Could you please check this again? We were able to update your Community profile to reflect the change and we're also unable to replicate that Availability badge message.

Hi,
I have a problem with my account, which is that my account has been changed to private and I want people to see me. I have been through a difficult period in the last time as I was sick, so I did not use my account for that time. But now I'm ready to go back.
I contacted support from here & from support page last day, and got a message that it will be reset within 4 hours. It's been 24 hours, but it hasn't changed for the public. I hope it will be changed to public as soon as possible.
I would be grateful for that.

I've just successfully changed your profile visibility to public. To manage your profile visibility in the future, you may follow the steps in this article, or click the "Reset My Profile Visibility" on this page.
Please also update your profile picture to a close-up image of your head and shoulders, clearly showing your face. The people you deal with on Upwork need to know that you are who you say you are, and being able to see your face is a reassuring first step. This would help you in getting clients to respond to your proposals. You can refer to this article for guidelines in choosing the best profile picture.
I wish you the best in your freelancing journey!

Hi, I'm not really unhappy right now. I have sent several emails to you guys asking for my account to be changed from private to public for over a month now but still, nothing has been done till this moment.
Worst still, my profile has been disabled now. I can't access my project catalog. When I try to, I get "Amina isn't taking orders for this project right now..."
This so unfair on me, I haven't even made any sales on these projects which took me time and sweat to build.
Please look into this, and fix the issue. I'm honestly tired and drained by all this
