How to Get Your Upwork Profile Approved

Complete personal information
In the information area of your profile, the front end and the back end of your profile will be seen thus, you need to fill out the needed information there. This can be your freelancing niche, profile picture, birthday, email, phone verification, and other related information.
Your personal information should be updated, complete, and will reflect who you are as a freelancer.
Choose an in-demand niche
We have noticed that the UpWork accounts that presented a broad kind of niche will not get approved, it is because UpWork wanted a specific niche. Samples of specific niches are E-commerce, Facebook Advertising, Content Marketer, and Proofreader, and any other in-demand niches.
The “law of supply and demand” is also applicable in UpWork. It’s because, in a competitive niche, there will be less competition, and you’ll receive competitive pay. While, if you will go for a “not so” competitive niche, the competition is stiff, and you’ll receive lower pay.
Have a detailed and convincing overview
Your cover letter, proposal, or application letter will be inside your overview. It is where the clients will see who you are and what you are capable of.
And, in order for your UpWork profile approved, you need to present well your highlights, the tasks that you can do, feedbacks and proofs, as well as your vision and mission as a freelancer.
Add related skills
Adding related skills to your main service is vital so, please don’t add something that is far from your main service. It is because when you added specific niches, the client will see you right away.
Add relevant portfolios
Your portfolio will tell and show both Upwork and clients that you know how to do the tasks. It signifies your experience both in freelancing and in an office set-up. To do this, you can add your online certification, outputs of your training, screenshots of your previous projects, or links that will lead to your work samples.
