Locked Private Profile

Hi there, 
My account was kept private because of not earning until now. please help me in making it public.

thanks 

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Hi Jean Peter,

 

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!

 

My account's viability has been set to private so I can't turn on the availability badge. Will a client be able to respond and interview me if I keep on sending proposals? 

 

I need to know so I won't waste my connects. 

 

Thanks,

Hannat.

Hello Hannat,

This has happened to me before. You don't need to worry; you will not lose your connects. Clients are able to see your profile and respond to your bids even when your profile is set to private. The only difference is that when they search for a freelancer, your profile will not come up in the search results.
I hope this helps,
Sylwia

Oh oh!

Thank you so much, Sylwia.

Hi Shefatullah and Jovelyn,

 

Thank you for reaching out. It looks like bother your accounts were set to private due to inactivity. I've already set your profile visibility to "public" so you can already turn your availability badge on. Please let us know if you need further assistance.
