Hello everyone, I have question to you. Client purchased my project catalog, After get the requirement I started work. Client was happy to my work, He asked for revision and I gave him couple of revisions. Then client asked for the final file, After provide the final work then client showing some lame excuse that he don't want to pay me.

Hi Atif,

I am working with a great client who has hired me through my project catalogue.

I just want to see that if he only hires the developers related to my my field or other developers as well.

Hi Abubakar,

Please know that when a client buys your project a contract will be created and the milestone will be funded. You'll be notified whenever a purchase happens and a contract room will automatically be opened, at which point you can start messaging. You should be able to access the client's history through the contract room. Could you please share a Contract ID of the contract you are referring to so that I can take a look and advise you accordingly? 

You can find Contract ID by clicking on the name of the contract and then navigating to the Terms & Settings tab.

Hi,

I'm new to Upwork. Can someone please tell me how to send a custom offer when a client contacted you through the project catalogues?

Thank you.

Hi Minusha,

I would like to clarify that you cant make changes to the project catalog contract at this time. The idea is that the client is agreeing to the scope you laid out for the project when they buy it. To start, Project Catalog projects will only include one milestone at the end of the project. However, you and your client can create a new Upwork contract if you would like to collaborate on more work after your project is completed. If a client has custom needs, they may want to post a custom job and invite you to apply instead.

Hi Muhammad,

Thanks for your question. You’ll want to make sure your project is attractive to clients and catches their eye. Here are some best practices to create a professional project:

• Highlight your project in simple, jargon-free language.
• Choose professional images that speak to your work. (Don’t have great images of your work? Check out websites like www.unsplash.com that offer free, high-quality images you can use. Be sure to make sure you have permission to use.)
• Proofread your work so there are no typos.
• Don’t use click bait, text-heavy graphics, or the Upwork logo/badge.
• Don’t share your contact information or personal information.

Please check the Pro Tips: Build Your Best Project for more information on how you can boost your chances of having your project accepted and catching a future client’s eye.

Good luck!

Hello,

I am little confused with an order that I received. Client haven't provided the required video file. It is due in 4 hours but there no response from the client.

So please suggest what is the best I can do, without upsetting this new client and hampering my project ranking?

[#11]

Hi Abhishek,

You may want to follow up with the client again and ask them for the files you need for further engagement on this project. You can cancel a contract within 24 hours of the client submitting requirements without any penalty or impact on your Job Success Score.

Thank you!

The client reached me out via the project catalog. How can I read the client feedbacks?

[#14]

Hi MD Ashiqur, 

While we are excited to share that the feature is proving to be very popular unfortunately we've received so many requests that it's taking us a while to review each one. As a result, please allow 10 business days for your request to be reviewed. We apologize for the delay, but please know we are still testing and optimizing this beta feature. Thanks!

[#15]

Good Day!

Can you help me

Hi Eden,

I checked your account and it doesn't look like you've submitted a Catalog project for review. In order to do this, you'll need to complete your profile and click the button to submit it for review. You will be notified of the status of the review via email and a notification on your account within 24 hours.

Thank you!

[#17]

I' reviewing this new "project" option.

I found that you should place that project in the appropriate category. But, of course, category I work in is just missing. 

Is it so hard  to copy the existing categories?

I work mainly in Network and System Administration category which is not listed.

When I click on Browse all categories, even then I cann't pick my category - it doesn't exist.

There is, for example, Support and IT category, which otherwise doesn't exist. 

Upwork, this really sucks lol.

[#18]

Hi Filip,

For now, you might not see all the categories or options you need. We will continue to build out and improve the feature as we do internal testing and receive more feedback from customers like you. Thanks for your help! To learn more about Project Catalog, click here.

Hi there! I think upwork should add up the stats feature for the project catalogue as Fiverr does. There you can see your gig's stats (views, clicks, impressions etc).. 

[#20]

Thanks for this suggestion, Arslan. I'll be sure to share it with our team.

Hello everyone!

I am new to project catalogs and have just submitted my first project to Upwork for revision. I’ve searched the catalog page and read that we can turn on and off the project based on our availability. Still, I am a little bit confused about how the whole thing works. Do we approve or decline a client who wants to purchase our project, or can they buy it without our approval?

Thanks in advance.

[#22]

Hi Tuba,

You'll be notified whenever a purchase happens and a contract room will automatically be opened, at which point you can start messaging. The next step is waiting for the client to provide requirements to you. Please check this help article and learn more on how Project Catalog works.

Thank you!

Hello!

I have just received the message from a client contacting me through the project manager. I am a little bit worried, as I can see that she has only one bad review (1 star), but at the same time, she has her account from the end of November 2021, so I would not like to rely only on this, and I would like to know what went wrong. The problem is that I can't read this review, in the window I have no option of viewing her profile, I can open 1 to 1 room, or see the general information. I used to check my potential clients using the job offer page, in this case it is not possible, what can I do?

[#24]

Hi Krystyna,

Currently, freelancers can't see the client's past Work History and Feedback section. We understand that it’s very important for freelancers to see that information and we have shared that feedback with our team. A number of improvements have already been made based on the feedback we received in the Community and the team will continue to make further improvements. Thank you for your feedback.
