Can I invite my local clients to UpWork to improve my rating?

I researched about Upwork, it seems a serious freelancing platform and hard to get hired and selected for projects in the beginning.

I want to know if I can invite my local clients, so I can improve my rating here.
May I be banned for inviting local clients to gain better ratings on Upwork?

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

I'd like to note that while anybody can share a link to their profile with a client if they'd prefer to be hired and manage their contract on Upwork, the program you're referring to is only available to Top Rated freelancers. More information here.

 

Orzumurod,
As I mentioned above, if a freelancer would like to use Upwork to manage their contracts and payments with a client who isn’t yet registered on Upwork, they can certainly do it. That said, attempting to or actually manipulating or misusing the feedback system and/or offering services for the sole purpose of obtaining positive feedback of any kind is against Upwork TOS. For more information about that, please refer here

There's nothing wrong with you bringing new customers, even your current clients, to Upwork.

 

In fact, Upwork encourages it. The last time I did it, I sent an email to BringYourClient@upwork.com for details.

Thank you for the clarification on that, Valeria.
