Freelancer Plus Membership Setup

I’m ready to upgrade my account to a Plus membership and would like help making sure everything is set up correctly the first time. The only extra feature I’m focused on is gaining access to more project categories, with Writing & Translation being my primary area of interest.

Here’s what I need from you:
• Walk me through the exact upgrade steps inside Freelancer so the switch to Plus goes smoothly.
• Confirm that the “access to more project categories” benefit becomes active and that Writing & Translation projects appear in my feed.
• Check all account settings post-upgrade to be sure no bidding limits, visibility options or alerts are mis-configured.
• Provide quick tips for getting the most out of the Plus plan (e.g., category filters, profile tweaks, standing out in Writing & Translation bids).

Once we confirm the membership is live and the new categories are visible, the job is complete. Freelancers who have already upgraded their own accounts—or handled this for clients—are preferred.
