Hi Abrar,

 

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.

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are doing well. I have an issue on my Upwork profile. Upwork automatically set my profile as private and does not allow me to "on" my available badge to "turn on". Kindly helps me to solve this issue.

Best wishes and regards

Thanks a million

Hi Muhammad,

 

I took a closer look and it looks like you can't turn on this badge because your profile is set to private or unavailable. I took the liberty of resetting your profile visibility back to Public Status. You can try turning your Availability Bade on again and it should be working now. Let us know if you need further assistance.

Hi, there. I've had this problem before; I originally set my profile to "public," but due to no earnings in the previous months, it's now set to "private." Now I have applied to a job, but it is still private. Please help me figure out this problem.

I am new to Upwork and my account is set to Private.  Upwork says that I need to apply to jobs (which I have been doing) or complete work to be able to make it Public.  What should I do to get my profile Public? 

 

 Thanks in advance.

Hi guys! I mistakenly clicked on a link to reset my profile visibility. I have been sent an email that my profile will be reset in the next four hours. Kindly let me know if this would be an issue, especially because my profile visibility doesn't really need resetting. 

Hi Immaculata,

 

No worries! Since your profile is currently public the tickets you submitted will most likely just be closed.

Hi Team,

My profile has been set to locked private. Need help in making it public.

Bharath,

 

Go to Settings and change from Private to Public. If you can't do that yet, wait several days and try again. You have a new profile and it might be processing. Have a great day!

Hi Bharath,

Hello.  
My Upwork has been sleeping for 2 years and I decided to jump back in and provide my services on Upwork. 
I messaged Upwork four days ago and asked them to turn my profile on.  
Upwork informed me that my profile will be visible within 4 hours.  
It's now been 4 days and I've been contacting Upwork daily yet gtting the same message.  
What can I do?
Thank you
Phil
