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 Md. Raju,

 

Project Catalog is where you let clients come to you. When you create a project, it displays as a listing that clients can open to learn more. Clients find you by searching for the skills and services you offer.

 

When you create a project we will first review it before making it visible to clients. Our review includes making sure your project is complete, looks professional, and doesn’t violate our Terms of Service. Please allow up to five business days for your project to be reviewed.

 

Thank you,

 

 

NOTICE:

We are currently receiving more projects for review than usual. Please allow us longer than usual to review your project.

Hi Rofiqul,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. I checked on this and it looks like the two projects were submitted last January 12 and 14 respectively. Note that it can take up to five business days for your project to be reviewed. However, the team is currently receiving an unusually higher volume of requests. Kindly allow our team a few more days to review your projects. Should we need more information about your submission, our team will send you an email with details on how you can edit the project for approval. Feel free to check out this page to learn more about Project Catalog.

Hello. I've cancelled a project catalog order within 24 hours after it was purchased. I want to be sure. Will this affect my JSS somehow?

 

I'd kindly like a response from a moderator please.

 

Thanks for your time!

Hi Anika,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us here. You can cancel a project within 24 hours of receiving a client’s requirements, without any consequence from Upwork. However, If you cancel a project after 24 hours of the client’s purchase, the client will get a full refund and your JSS may be impacted. Clients can also leave a review for you at this stage.

Thank you Arjay. I cancelled it within 24 hrs of purchase/receiving requirements.

It'a good to know it won't have any effects on my JSS.

Hello Community and Upwork,

 

I have recently started posting Projects, under My Project Dashboard, for clients to be able to search and buy directly my offers, and I think that option could be very helpful. However, I have not been able to find a way to see if any clients have seen My Project or if the project even showed up under some search results.

This is something that I think Upwork should implement it and we could benefit from learning how to promote our projects and which keywords and tags to use. 

I have looked under My Stats, but it shows only Profile Views, Invites and Proposals. When you open "My Project Dashboard" you can only see how many orders you have for that project, but there is no way to actually see what is most helpful for us as freelancers. We need to know if our project is being viewed by clients, and if it is, but we are not getting any orders, we can do something to adjust our proposals in the project.

For people that work and depend on projects, I'm sure you will understand the need for these stats, and I would really appreciate if you could upvote and like this post to raise this concern to Upwork developers, in hopes that this feature will be available soon.

 

Cheers,

Vasko

Hi Vasko,

 

We truly appreciate you reaching out and sharing your feedback regarding Project Catalog. I will surely pass this over to the team for further review. For the time being, there are a few settings to consider to make sure you’re in control of your schedule and only get orders when you want them. You can turn any project’s visibility off-and-on as often as you’d like. That way you can always control your workflow and avoid project cancellations.

Hello Arjay,

 

My post is not about making my project visible.

My post is about being able to see statistics for the project before we get orders. 

It would be nice to know how many views is my project getting. That way I would know if my project is being viewed, but I'm not getting orders, I will adjust the offer to make the project more attractive for clients.

Thank you.

Hi Vasko,

 

Thank you for reaching out. Projects do not have available stats at the moment so there's no way to view this. We've already shared this feedback with the relevant team and if there should be any changes in the future, we'll make an announcement here.
