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 switch it back to public by simply logging out and back into your Upwork account again. Note: Your profile will be automatically reset to the visibility option you had. (The options are public, only to other Upwork users, or private.)

Is this the profile private to public. If yes there might be 3 ways to do it:
1. Start earning again to auto public the profile
2. Ask UW to public the profile for you
3. Subscribe to freelancer plus for public the profile

Hi,

 

I just tried to turn on my availability but my profile is locked to private....one of the reasons is because I haven't had any work, but I have a better chance of getting work if I can turn on my availability....

 

How can I fix this please?

Hi Steve,

 

I've reset your profile back to public as requested. You should now be able to switch your Availability Badge on. Thank you for reaching out!

Hi there, my account is on private could you make it public? Thank you in advance 

Hi Zunaira, Your profile feature allows you to select your visibility into public. In other words, you have to select the pen icon under view profile. 

Hope this helps.

Hi Zunaira,

 

Your profile visibility is set to Public now.

I give up! not able to change profile to public, how will upwork earn? how will I earn?

Hi Naveed,


I’ve reset your profile visibility back to Public. If your profile has been set to private due to a lack of earnings, there are several simple ways to reset it to public. To learn more, log into your Upwork account, and you’ll see a pop-up notification with your options. We also send all affected freelancers an email notification, which you can refer to for your choices. Finally, you will also see your options by clicking on the “Find Work” tab and clicking on your “Visibility” status under the “My Profile” overview on the right side of the page.

Hi Pradeep, thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately the profile is not public anymore. I have tried using the reset link but it doesnt work and redirects me to the homepage. As far as pop-ups are concerned I never saw them. It will be great if you could reset the profile I will be grateful to you. many thanks 

Hi Naveed,

 

I can confirm that your profile visibility is already set to public. Could you share a screenshot of what you see on your end?

Hello, there was a long gap in my work pattern, now that I have returned and would like to begin work I am not getting any success with my job proposals. Let me know:

 

1) Is it because of the reason the Availability Badge is turned off? 

 

- i  tried but couldn't switch it on as the message said I am not earning so I can't 

 

 

- So whats the solution for that?

 

2) Also, can anyone share links to any tutorials related to writing Upwork proposals and pitching in to the clients? I may as well check out those to improve myself.

 

Thanks!!
