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.

My profile was set to "PRIVATE" by Upwork. I cannot get work. I've requested 4 times to be reset to "PUBLIC" and though the ticket says 'solved' ... the issue has not been resolved.
Please set my profile to PUBLIC as soon as possible.

Hi Upwork,
I've kept requesting for my profile to public and it keeps getting solved without any changes in my profile (it's still in private). Kindly see screenshots attached. Before, I can request and it gets solved without having to report this.

Let me know if there is something I am missing. Looking forward to your prompt response.
Thank you!

Christine

Hello Upwork Support!
I am new on this platform even though my account was created quite some time ago, I recently decided to use upwork for freelancing. I am seeing an issue with my profile that after I tried changing my Profile Visibility to Public it kept on bouncing back to Private, and after one point I decided I will just change it to Upwork Users only and after this my profile visibility was set to Locked Private.. I do not understand what the problem is and now it seems like I do not have the option to change it, it is really disappointing as I was seeing some really interesting projects which I could be part of. Can you please set my profile visibility to Public ?
Sep 18, 2022 04:50:30 PM by Avery O
Hi Farhad,
I've reset your profile visibility back to public. Profiles of freelancers with a history of earnings on the platform will remain public unless they have not earned in more than two years, while profiles of new freelancers who haven't earned on Upwork will be set to private after 90 days. To avoid this, you can resume earnings on a new contract or upgrade your membership to the Plus plan. You can check out more info about this here.
Note that even if your profile is private, you can still send a proposal to jobs you're interested in, and the client will receive it on their end with no issues.

Hi Najeeb,
Thank you for your message. To help keep the marketplace thriving and vibrant for everyone, we occasionally change a profile from public to private. This helps boost your visibility when you’re active and reduce the notifications you get when you’re not. It also helps keep results relevant for clients. Your profile visibility is set to Public now.
Thank you,
Pradeep

Hi Nikola,
My account was kept private because of not earning until now. So, I am applying now for more jobs. Now can I have an availability badge on my profile?
Thanks

Hi Md Shah,
Your profile visibility has been reset back to “public”. When your profile is set to private, your profile is not visible in search results, but the clients can still view your profile once you submit a proposal. For more information, please check out this help article.
