How can I start monthly contract on upwork?

Hey there! I have a simple question, I wanna ask a previous client to start a monthly contract on Upwork instead of hourly/fixed jobs, but before, I wanna know, is there a new way for the client to do so or it is still the "0 hour" logging method like Petra suggested back in 2018. The link is provided for reference.

Thanks in advance. Smiley Happy

Muhammad Arslan:
Upwork does not offer "monthly contracts" as an option.

 

Clients and freelancers may choose from available contract types such as:

- hourly

- fixed-price

- automatic weekly payments

- weekly retainer

 

If you can think of a way to utilize Upwork's exsting contract types to fit your desire for "montly billing," then you are allowed to do so. But this would be a matter between the client and freelancer. Upwork does not directly support the concept.

 

The short answer to your question is:

No, there is no "new" directly applicable option since Petra provided you with advice earlier.

hi,

 

relating to the automatic weekly payments, if the client needs to stop the previous contract and start up a new one with the automatic weekly payments chosen, will the upwork fee rate reset? 

re: "relating to the automatic weekly payments, if the client needs to stop the previous contract and start up a new one with the automatic weekly payments chosen, will the upwork fee rate reset?"

 

No.

The fee will NOT reset.

 

Because the fee is based on the CLIENT.

Not the contract.

thanks so much, Preston!
