Have you been trying to get on Upwork as a copywriter, but you never seem to get your profile accepted - even though you've tweaked everything for weeks?

I had the same problem, and I solved it. However, I didn't think much about it.

But today I had a conversation with @lazaralex, who experienced the same problem and was still trying out profile configurations daily.

I gave him the same, simple tip and he got accepted instantly.

Here it goes:
  1. Delete your existing account
  2. Start a completely new account
  3. Choose a less saturated area than copywriting (lots of people on Upwork say they're copywriters, even though they've never even done 1 gig. I doubt new copywriters even get accepted now). I chose customer support.
  4. Create a complete profile, with a job title and overview that relates to the category. I think @SinisterLex has some great videos on making a decent, 100% complete profile.
  5. Submit it for evaluation. Wait for it, hopefully you'll get accepted.
  6. In that case you can switch over to copywriting, or whatever else you'd like to do.
My guess?
Upwork probably uses some kind of algorithm to evaluate all profiles, and if someone has submitted theirs multiple times, they're much more likely to get rejected again. Hence, I tried to start a whole new one to start on a blank page, in a non-saturated category.

I don't know how close it is to the truth, but nonetheless it seems to work.

Have you been trying to get approved multiple times now? Then you've maybe noticed it takes longer and longer for Upwork to send you that rejection. Sometimes up to half an hour.

But when both us tried this, it seriously took 10 second for Upwork to approve.
