Customize profile rate

Since 95% of my jobs entail charging per word as a writer, I would love to update my profile to reflect my cost per word instead of hourly.

As an example, my profile says $80/hour but that's my rate per 1000 words of written content. When my rate increases to $0.12 per word, my profile will have to change to $120/hour, which doesn't exactly represent what I charge.

Not sure if this is the right place for this sort of suggestion/feedback.

Easier than trying to change Upwork - just explain your rate in your profile and in your proposals.

I do that already.

 

The hourly rate, though, is front and center on the profile for a reason and I'd like for clients that view my profile to not have to read through my explanation and instead, see that I charge based on words than hours. 

I also don't do any hourly work on Upwork, so having a different type of rate to reflect the work I do would be a good option.
