0% fee when you bring your own client

[ancuta-popescu]

Hello,

In May 2017 I received a message from Upwork with a special promotion with 0% fee when I bring my own client to Upwork (I am a Top rated freelancer) and I received an invitation linked to send it to my client for register and activate this 0% fee. A few days ago, I send it to my client and he registered and started a Upwork contract and now, when the contracted is just ended I realized that I have standard 20% fee. What to do in this situation? It's obvious that I was not intended to bring my client to pay 20% to Upwork.

Thank you!

[varpness]

Thank you for the information. I think I have too many clients now to
qualify for rising talent. Do you know how I can get the Top Rated status?
I would really like to bring this client in and I know they would be doing
business with other freelancers, but since I would be losing money by
bringing them on to Upwork, it sort of doesn't make sense for me to do that
from a financial standpoint. Does that make sense?

Thank you again!

Hi Matthew,

To get the Top Rated badge, you'll need to fulfill requirements for becoming Top Rated. Hope this info helps.

Hi, 

Question: I've got a "new client" link from last year and I've used it once already, will it still work if I send it to another client/this year or I need to get a new link. If I need a new link, can you resend one!

Thank you in advance!!

Hi Olea,

Thanks for your question. You are able to use the same link that you've previously received, but please be sure to follow the same process as before of getting in touch with us in regard to each new contract that you use the link for. Let us know if you have any more questions about this, thanks!

[jaredwkendall]

I recently tried my link, and it no longer seems to work - do I need to request a fresh one?

...and one other thing: What's the procedure, precisely, as far as who I contact after my offline client has used the link, once I've got a working link?

Thank you so much for your help!

Hello Avery , 
I have three questions : 

- can I get my unique link to bring offline clients to Upwork?

- can I bring as many clients as I want ? 
- and the last one, is it possible to do the work through my upwork agency ? 

[tinker_bell3]

Hi Maher,

We have requested the team to email your unique link. You can bring clients on Upwork provided that you or the agency have the link to invite the client.

[kesaranmol00]

I want to bring my client from another platform on upwork so we can work here seamlessly. Please guide me.

Thanks

Just give the client your profile link.

Not being top-rated, you don't qualify for any special deals.

Hello,

Is this promotion still active and am I eligible for it? Please send me the link if so and confirm if I am eligible. I want to bring in an actual client through upwork.

Also, is the fee 0% forever as it was back in nov 2017?

Thank you

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Mariana,

At the moment you`re not eligible to receive your unique link. I would like to clarify that this feature is for Rising Talent and Top Rated freelancers. If you have any additional questions, let me know. Thank you.

[odaysharon]

Thank you, Goran, for responding. I answered the email, but will repeat the text here:

My name is Sharon. The moderator responded to someone named Mariana. The note says the feature of 'no fees for bringing clients' is only for Rising Talent and Top Rated freelancers. I am a Top Rated freelancer with $40K of work on Upwork and a 100% Job Success rate.

Please explain why it is not available to me.

My thanks,

Sharon (**Edited for Community Guidelines**)

[bstojadinovic]

Hi Sharon,

You may have received an email notification about a moderator's response to another user, Mariana, on this thread. They are discussing the same feature but their situation is different. I can confirm that I've already shared your request with the team and you should receive your link shortly.

[odaysharon]

Thank you, Bojan!

Sharon, this is a thread on a public discussion forum, with dzens of participants. Goran responded to Mariana. What he told Mariana obviously does not apply to you, it was in response to Mariana's question.

Presumably you clicked on "Email me when someone replies" below - which is why you got an email when someone posted in the same thread.
