I noticed there are a lot of freelancers are complaining about the Upwork block, why does it happen? I'm really curious about it.

Hello everyone! I’m excited to be here! My work revolves around content writing, education consulting, and instructional design — from developing learning materials and training programs to creating research-based content and supporting international education projects. I’ve recently started building my freelance journey on Upwork, and I’m currently working on three active projects, which has been a great experience so far. Now, I’m aiming to strengthen my presence even more and work toward earning the Rising Talent badge. I’m still learning how to refine my profile, improve my proposals, and build consistent client flow. I’ve heard a lot about how helpful this community is, so I’d really appreciate any tips or insights on standing out, maintaining quality, and growing sustainably here on Upwork. Happy to connect and contribute where I can. Looking forward to learning from all of you!

Hey everyone 👋 I wanted to ask something important — has anyone here recently gone through Upwork’s 10–15 minute video verification call? They say the call is only done with the actual profile owner, and you have to respond quickly, otherwise your profile might get restricted or even banned. 👉 Is this true? 👉 What was your experience like during the call? 👉 Any tips to handle it smoothly? I’d really appreciate if someone could share their recent experience 🙏 Thanks in advance! 💬
