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.
We’ll change your freelance profile from public to private if:
When your profile is set to private, we won’t show it in search results when clients search for talent. They will only see your profile if you submit a proposal to their job. You can still submit jobs, and you can also ask us to make your profile public again.
My account was set to private, I need to change my profile visibility, change profile to public, public profile, public account, set profile to publick back
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.
Once you start earning again on Upwork, your profile visibility will be automatically reset or you can ask us to reset it here at any time. Alternatively, you can subscribe to a Freelancer Plus membership to ensure that your profile visibility is never set to private.
New freelancers have a 90-day grace period to build up a successful stream of work before the profile visibility restriction begins. Don’t forget, you can still submit proposals even if your profile is private — you just won’t appear in search results.
Rules are the same for all freelancers, regardless of agency status, and are based on your contracts’ earnings on behalf of your agency (as well as any individual contracts, if you’re non-exclusive). Exclusive agency freelancers can’t get a Plus membership, but they can switch their profile back to public by earning again or using the link on Find Work to contact us.

Steam says my profile is private when it's not

I just had some steam server connection issues... When I checked my profile, it said that I was offline 17 hours ago and that my profile is private... It's fixed now, but I was wondering if that ever happened to anyone else.

I get this regularly at the moment. Since a couple of days ago, most of the time when I try to open a page associated with my profile (achievements, inventory...) it instead brings up a page with only my avatar, name, and the red notice that my profile is private. Which really doesn't make any sense, because it should be visible to me anyway as I'm logged into that very account. I usually have to reload the page 1-3 times before it will load fine. I have recently made my profile private for a day, but have since made it public again. Maybe it's connected to that, as the error has started appearing at around the same time.

Consider that a glitch and relax, to everyone else (that's not you), your profile isn't private.

It is a glitch but the fact that every site that I go on that needs a public profile, it still says its private regardless of the fact that all my settings are public so nearly 4 years later there still isnt a fix. So yes its a glitch. But for everyone else, it still is private.

Yesterday, fellow How-To Geek writer Eric Ravenscraft recommended a Steam game in our office chat room. It’s all about writing…and also it’s about anime-style schoolgirls and the wooing thereof.
But what gave me pause more than the warnings of implied cartoon coitus was the idea of said game appearing on my public Steam profile, visible to people like my grandmother and my boss and anyone who might be Googling me before a first date. Before playing this new game, I want to make my Steam profile, including my list of owned games and playing habits, private. Here’s how you do that.
And by the way, if you’re wondering what the game is and why I’m now drawing attention to the fact that I own it, the answers are 1) Doki Doki Literature Club! , which I am reliably informed is Not Safe For Work and 2) this is actually just an elaborate setup to make you more personally invested in the article below. Is it working?
In the Steam desktop app, move the mouse cursor over your profile name tab—it should be directly to the right of “Community.” In the dropdown menu, click “Profile.”
On this page, click “Edit Profile” in the upper right corner, then click “My Privacy Settings.”
From here you can select three options for Steam profile. They’re pretty self-explanatory on the page, giving options for total privacy or access only to your Steam friends. If you want absolutely no one to see your games, comments, or inventory on the public web, select “Private” for all three. Scroll down and click “Save changes.”
Now when you or anyone else opens your Steam profile on the web, they’ll see the following message.
Even when your profile is private, you can still send and receive friend invites within the Steam social system and even trade items. However, the hub for your personal sharing, including badges, screenshots and videos, game reviews, guides, and other uploaded content, won’t be accessible to other users unless you add them as friends (and not even then if you selected “Private” instead of “Friends only.”
Also, third-party tools that use public information for Steam, like this handy site that calculates the value of your game collection , won’t be able to access that information on your profile.
