After approval you'll see a checklist on your portal homepage. Profiles in search must have at least: a profile photo, a one-line bio, three packages, six work samples, and one verified phone number.

1
Set up your basics
Photo, bio, languages, service area. Pros with complete profiles get 3x the requests.
2
Add packages
Three is the minimum. Price clearly — clients filter on price ranges.
3
Upload work samples
At least six. Mix recent work and signature pieces.
4
Toggle availability
When you're live, your status pill turns green. Toggle to Booked or Offline anytime from your portal.
