Dear Upwork team,

I am writing to request that my profile be made public from private. I have been a member of Upwork for a while, but have not been actively seeking work until now. I am now ready to start taking on new clients and projects and would like to make my profile visible to potential client

I have updated my profile and portfolio to reflect my current skills and experience, and I am confident that I can provide high-quality work to my clients. I am excited to start working on new projects and would appreciate your help in making my profile public so that I can start finding opportunitie

Thank you for your assistanc

Turn on the availability badge

You had no profile views in the last 7 days. It is up to you when and whether to use the availability badge, but freelancers with significant profile views seem to get the best use out of this feature.

When I want to activate my available badge, this text appears. Please anyone clarify the available new badge?

I'm new to Upworks and I've bid on a few jobs but have not been successful as of yet.

I just got this email today:

"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."

Well how can I resume earnng through upworks if I havent landed a job yet?
My last proposal was 3 days ago...I am available.

Is this just a money grabber?

[tlsanders]

No money involved...you can request to have your profile re-set to public. It probably doesn't matter at this stage, though, since clients can still see your profile if you send a proposal and it's unusual to get good invitations when you're new.

As far as the "resume" language...it's just a form letter.

ETA: Here's the link to request that it be made public again... https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003975967?request=t_private_profile

[the-right-writer]

No, there is no money involved. Upwork routinely removes inactive freelancers from the rotation in search engines. You need to submit proposals and try to get jobs to considered active. Send more proposals, making sure they are targeted to your skills. If you have the skills, you will find jobs if you persevere. However, it will likely take a lot of connects and proposals to be active with a JSS. Nevertheless, we all started with no JSS, no money, and no jobs.
