    Hey, I can help. I got mine approved in 30 minutes

  2. 2

    They have stopped accepting new users long back and I had mine got approved by someone I met on a forum For $80 .

    He did it in an hour. He may can help you if you need.

    Sorry to hear it!
    Did they give any reasons why?
    I've been approved as a freelancer, and as a customer - I even didn't know there could be some problems.

      Not really is always this.

      We’ve reviewed your profile and currently our marketplace doesn’t have opportunities for your area of expertise.

      If you have more relevant skills or experience to add, you can update and re-submit your application. You can find more information regarding our decision here.

        Okay, can you tell us which skills you listed?

          Hey !

          Sure, I have been reading posts about it and 80% of them said that I should list just a few skills and to have like a niche.
          So I decided to sell the fact that I can be a web and mobile designer.

            Still too vague. Which exactly skills did you select? I don't remember how it works when you register but definitely there is a list of concrete skills you should list. Have you added them?

              1. 1

                Ok...

                1. Remove "self-taught" - nobody cares about it
                2. Fill up: Areas I enjoy designing:
                  and
                  Website and mobile
                3. Lower hourly rate to $30-$35. Really, it's too high for the beginning.
                4. Skills... Figma and Github don't look serious and are not skills
                5. Add more skills and libraries you worked with - like web development, maybe some other JS libraries.
                6. Education...2017 - 2025 (expected) ?? remove 2025, add at least some courses (if you don't have any, think out like "Advanced Web development Alands Computer School".
                1. 1

                  Regarding the school, what if they ask for it?

                  I did go to university but is not finished. Just the first yesr...

                  1. 1

                    I wouldn't mention it at all. Or would "replace" with some courses.

                2. 1

                  Hey @zencentric how kind was that.

                  Let try that tonight when I get home and tell how it went.

                  1. 1

                    Not sure if it would work, but it's always worth to try.

                    1. 1

                      I am going to try it, but I am going to offer something different, like a basic template made with bulma to jumpstart their project.

                      I mean, there's many web and mobile designers.

                      I might be more specific.
