Try adding skills that aren't the typical digital marketing etc as they have tons of that already on that site. So add some skills that would be valuable for the platform. Anyways I would advise to stay away from Upwork it's a waste of time tbh.

Why is that ? I know people making huge money there. I agree that they have become strict, it is good for genuine users.

I found this little list maybe it can help..

How to get your Upwork profile approved:

Show Upwork you’re a serious professional – right from the start

Tell Upwork EVERYTHING you can do

Never choose just one work subcategory

Try your best to list the maximum number of skills

Don’t undersell your experience level

Let Upwork calculate a personalized “rate tip”

Make sure your title isn’t too vague (or too specific)

Go beyond the bare minimum with your profile overview

Include ALL your education (not just college degrees)

Treat your profile like a resume

Bolster your profile with a few portfolio pieces (or make some quickly if you don’t have any)

Have your other professional accounts “vouch” for you

Prove yourself with Upwork’s skill tests

Keep improving your profile and try again

I think I tried everything you mentioned Yesterday I editing my profile by keeping these points in mind but yet they rejected me

Under what kind of skills you were trying to get yourself approved?
There are some streams that have too much of competition and even get a break into those markets is really difficult

try adding more skills

how i got my account approved: (not me, my friend, i am using that id right now)

add skills that are very less freelancers applying. ex. singing or any other creative skills.

show that you are good at that by adding relative proofs.

you will get approved easily.

after getting profile approved. just get one or two projects fake from your friends for ratings. make it natural and you are good to go. change everything now to your original skill. just do not remove old skill immidiatly. keep it and add digital maketing or whatever you want. and start bidding. do not update everything at once in single day. give it 15-20 days and you will have a working profile on digital marketing. do not over-go with bidding, you will get blocked for that if you do not get any project.

Nice Tips I think I was targeting high competition skills Like SEO and all now I should try going with rare skills... By the which one you would prefer where I can get orders more easily Fiverr or Upwork if you know any else then suggest me?

Fiverr is a waiting game. As you need to wait for clients to hire you. Upwork is a bidding game. You can bid on 10-15 jobs daily and expect response from at least a couple of them.

Did you get your account approved btw? Using less mainstream skills (like solar power consultant, aerospace designer etc) helps to get instant approval. You can later change the skillset after approval.
