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.

Hi Arjay,

 

On 23 August I requested Upwork support to change my profile visibility from Private to Public.

Then I received a mail. They told me It would take up to 4 hours, Now it's 28 August but still, my profile visibility is Private.

Please help me.

 

Thank you

Hi Nikola 

 

I mistakenly uploaded a wrong profile picture. Now I'm getting a notification for identity verify. Please help me out. My profile picture doesn't match with my I'd card. I recently join Upwork & in just few days I've completed my first project. Please it was just by mistake please help me to change my profile picture. Now I can't change my profile picture due to identity verification. I want to change my profile picture wanted to upload my own pic but I can't do that because of this verification. My profile picture doesn't match with my I'd card picture. What should I do now?

 

 

 

 

Hi, I got a job offer and I did the job. I have to deliver it to the client, but I cannot accept the offer because my profile is private. I sent an e-mail, asked for help, but this problem needs to be resolved right now. Otherwise I will lose the customer and my job will be wasted. Can you help me please?

i keep paying to buy more CONNECTS and im currently working.

 

its getting MORE of an issue trying to find work now i realize im not getting my profile visibility to PUBLIC unless i keep asking for it to be visible in public every other week. why can't this just be stable at PUBLIC especially since im working because im earning anyway however little it is. ALSO i keep purchasing CONNECTS anyway even though some of these jobs do not respond and i do not get my connects back. i had to keep asking support to bring it back to public and only IF i noticed it has gone back to private.

 

how can i make this remain public while im working ?
