Hi Mst. -
In my experience on Upwork I've been gifted with a handful of hourly jobs, but I find that they are incredibly rare in the Design and creative field. When i've worked for production houses and design firms contracts are usually flat rate and have a "Hour estimate" included in the cost. The handful of clients that I good friends with have told me horror stories about freelancers abusing the hour tracker and racking up 30-40 hours for jobs that only require 1-2 hours to complete.
So My advice - in your proposals include a "Hour estimate" on flat rate projects, that justifies your price and allows you to work hourly without the client stressing about abuse of the system
hope that helps
