Feature Request: Bill by Percentage of Managed Ad Spend

[orchardb]

For ongoing management, it is very common for digital marketers to bill client's based on a percentage of total managed ad spend.

For example, if a client spent $10,000 /mo on Google Ads and the agreed management fee is 10%, the freelancer would be paid $1,000.

This feels like an easy solution to create lasting engagements with clients.

This is not going to happen.

But thank you for the suggestion.

The thing to understand is this: Upwork is not a digital marketer platform. It is a general purpose freelance platform that allows digital marketers to use it.

Upwork doesn't care how you calculate your fee. If you want it to be a percentage of something else, just do it. 

In your example, I would consider setting a fixed price contract for $1000 per milestone with monthy milestones or using the weekly salary option to bill $250 per week.
