0% fee 'Bring your own client'

Just got that mail... that sounds like a great thing, and i will be sure to use it when i get a chance.

 

But what bugs me: how do you plan to deal with the people who would hire themselves to gain success score, opening fake accounts of clients? It will be so cheap to do so (just some foreign exchange commissions, or maybe not even that when using U.S. payment methods) that it will be tempting to do so. Won't we soon face a whole new brand of fakes?

 

What i suggest: don't include contracts with these 0% clients into JSS calculation, top rated/rising talent, and otherwise take means to make sure they don't help a profile stand out.

Hello Goran. We were working with majority of our clients offline but we would like to invite some of them to work with us using upwork. Can you please provide us BYOC link so that we could have 0% fee for those clients.

Hello there,

I am a top-rated freelance on Upwork and I would like to bring an external client to the platform. Where can I find the link to have him to register so that there is no fees for future contracts with him.

Hi Goran and Upwork,

I've just invited a Client to Upwork using my BYOC link.

The client has created a project and manually invited me to interview, however, on making a proposal, the fee breakdown still showed Upwork fee -20%.

 

Can someone look into this to make sure that the fee will be removed...

Thanks, Alex

Hi Alexander,

Feel free to accept the invitation/offer and after couple of days the fee will be automatically reduced to 0%. If the fee is not changed after a couple of days let us know and our team will assist you with this, thank you.
