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.

Please help, I found this on my mail. I applied to a few jobs, but nothing happened. Tried to reset via reset button, still the same. #Moderator

Resume earning to reset your profile

Hi,
We noticed you have not been working through Upwork lately.
To improve clients' search results, and show them more freelancers who are available, we have changed your profile to "private" until you are ready to start taking on new jobs. Your profile will not be seen by clients unless you submit proposals for their jobs.
It will automatically become public again when you resume earning through Upwork. You can also contact Upwork Support for help.

I'm stuck in a loop. My profile is locked private and when I click the link in the support center, it just reroutes me to how to make a profile public. Every link I click just reroutes, there's no submitting a ticket or chatting with a 'bot' for help. If my profile is private, I feel like that's hindering my ability to be found and make money here. How can I connect with a person who can unlock my profile?

Hello, Upwork community,

I have trouble with turning my profile visibility to public, I don't have unfortunately access to turn it back on and I don't find a direct way to communicate with the support team. Could someone help me turn my profile visibility to public again?

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely yours 

Walid M.
