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.

Is there any solution? How can I get paid from a project catalog?

Thanks, Raju

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.

Hello Upwork team, I'm eagerly anticipating the approval of my project dashboard. It's currently under review, but I'm concerned that it may take too long. Can you please assist me? Thank you.

I have sent 4 projects for reveiw on Upwork for some time now and I am getting very impatient. I was told that projects are approved on Upwork five working days after submission and I am getting fed up. Initially, I was told by a friend that Upwork is one of the best freelancing platforms but I never expected it to be this way. I can't see any difference between Upwork and Fiverr. I am getting fed up already.

Hi Aqeelah,

Please allow some time for the team to review and get back to you about your Catalog project submissions. We're experiencing higher volumes of submissions so delays are possible. Thanks for your patience. 

Meanwhile, I'd recommend you continue working on improving your profile. Make sure your profile picture is an actual photo of you and feel free to check out these
 Upwork Academy courses to help you get started:
 
We hope you find these online resources useful in your Upwork journey.

Hi Upwork Community,

 

Do you know exactly how much time it will take to get your Project or Gig approved? Actually, on 13-Feb-2023 I created a Flutter project and from that day till 17 Feb, it's in the Under Review phase.

 

Please let me know if you have any idea about it, thanks.

 

Kind Regards,

Hamza

1. Can I apply for a job without project catalog?

 

2. What does it mean to bid for a job?

 

3. How can I set up my rate

Hi Mabel,

 

1. Yes! You can definitely apply for a job without a project Catalog. Creating a project in Project Catalog is another way to connect with clients and earn. By creating a project, you can craft clear, defined work with set timing, details, and pricing.

 

We review all projects for quality and professionalism. Once your project has been approved, you can highlight it on your profile. Creating a project in Project Catalog allows you to sit back and let clients come to you!

 

To answer your next two questions, you may want to check our Upwork Academy for an interactive suite of courses and tools for helping you succeed on Upwork. You'll find topics from best practices for choosing your profile headline and advice for setting your rate to scam awareness tips. It can definitely help you get started with Upwork!

I already make topic for this, but now i wait 10 days and still have pending approval on project. I didnt get any answer on gmail for project.

Did you submit using the submit work/request payment button? If so, the milestone will be automatically approved after 14 days unless the client takes action (like filing a dispute or requesting revisions) before then. Whatever you do, don't click that button again...it will start the waiting period over again.

It's been a long time, and I am waiting for my project catalog to be approved. I understand that Upwork representatives have a lot of requests to handle but I suggest there must be some sort of fix or max delay time.

I completely understand your point Luiggi, am just looking to get it done asap as I have more projects to put and I can be able to start proper working after all gets approved if it all takes this sort of time then I am afraid I will lose many business opportunities.
