Last updated on January 28, 2023 @ 1:17 pm

If you’re new to UpWork, you may be wondering how you can get your profile approved. Here are a few tips:

1. Make sure your profile is complete

One of the first things you need to do is make sure that your profile is 100% complete. This means filling out all the required fields, including your overview, skills, employment history, education, and anything else that may be relevant to the job you’re applying for.

2. Use a professional photo

Your profile photo is one of the first things potential clients will see, so make sure it’s a good one! Use a professional headshot that clearly shows your face, and avoid using photos with filters or other effects.

PRO TIP: If you are seeking approval for your profile on Upwork, be aware that there are certain requirements that must be met in order to be approved. Upwork requires that you have an established profile with a minimum of 10 skills listed, a completed overview, and a portfolio of work samples. In addition, your profile must be 100% complete in order to be approved. If any of these requirements are not met, your profile will not be approved.

3. Write an engaging overview

Your overview is your chance to sell yourself to potential clients. Write a few sentences about your professional background and highlight your skills and experience. Be sure to proofread your overview for any grammar or spelling errors.

4. Choose the right skills

When adding skills to your profile, be selective and choose only the ones that are most relevant to the job you’re applying for. If you’re not sure which skills to include, take a look at similar profiles for inspiration.

5. Get great reviews

One of the best ways to get your profile approved is to have positive reviews from previous clients. If you don’t have any reviews yet, consider offering your services for free or at a discounted rate in order to get some positive feedback.
