Hi all,

 

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 there, 
I'm having the same problem but no solution is working for me, as suggested in this thread
Tried possible
- Buy more connect (suggested by someone in the community)
- Profile -> Profile settings (Settings is locked)
- Reset My profile visibility (it's not resetting it tried a lot but it's not helpful)

I want to boost my profile but profile visibility is something locked boost option.
