How Do I Make UpWork Private?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 9:52 pm

If you’re like most people, you probably have a few questions about how to make your UpWork account private. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. The first thing you’ll want to do is go to your settings and make sure that your “Profile” is set to “Private.”

2. Once your profile is set to private, only people who you’ve approved as connections will be able to see your profile information and contact you.

3. If you want to take things a step further, you can also go into your account settings and select the “Make my account private” option. This will hide your profile from even approved connections unless they know your URL.

4. Finally, if you really want to make sure that only specific people can see your profile, you can password protect your account. This way, only people with the password will be able to access your account.

Making your UpWork account private is a great way to make sure that only the people you want to connect with can see your information. By following the steps above, you can easily make your account as private as you’d like.

PRO TIP: If you are considering making your Upwork account private, please be aware that this will limit your ability to find and be found by potential clients. Your profile will no longer be searchable by keywords, and you will no longer appear in the list of available freelancers when clients are searching for someone with your skills. In addition, your account will no longer be linked to any of your social media accounts, and you will no longer be able to receive recommendations from connections. If you decide to make your account private, please be aware that you may need to proactively reach out to potential clients, as they will no longer be able to find you.
