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.)

Hi, I have the same issue, my account shows a private profile and I cannot see any option to make it public again.
Perhaps I at least open my profile 2-3 times a week and I submitted 2 proposals in the last 4 days but they still locked my profile, I don't know why.

Hello Gaurav,

Thank you for reaching out to us. It seems that you are an exclusive agency member and that your agency has set your profile visibility to private. I recommend reaching out to your agency owner or administrator, as they can reset your profile visibility to “Public.” You may also share this helpful link for more details about managing the Agency Roster and Visibility.
