Hi Ak,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. Allow me to explain how  Project Catalog works. Firstly, we review all project listings, including consultations, before publishing them on Project Catalog to help ensure a quality platform that helps you attract quality clients, and we promote Project Catalog on client pages.

 

Once your project listing is published, the project will display on your Upwork profile. You can also share the project’s URL in your profile’s description and on your social media accounts for even more visibility. Your project’s overview consists of its title, category, project attributes, and search tags. The information you include here is your first impression to prospective clients, so you’ll want it to shine. Feel free to check this help article for more details. Please allow up to five business days for your project to be reviewed.

 

 

NOTICE:

 

Project Catalog submissions by Top Rated, Top Rated Plus, and Expert Vetted Talent are typically reviewed within 2 business days. If you do not have one of these badges, please note that our current review process is experiencing an extensive delay due to internal efforts to enhance our efficiency and accuracy.

 

Update:

 

Hi all,

Upwork's service is extremely poor. My project has been under review for a month now, and there is no way to track its progress in the review queue. Additionally, the proposal section does not indicate whether the client has viewed my proposal or not. Upwork claims to have excellent service, but they primarily care about making money by charging service and connection fees. Essentially, Upwork prioritizes profits over the well-being of freelancers.

 

I understand that this platform is not suitable for freelancers who offer genuine and high-quality services. It is more like a bidding system at a fish market, where people compete for money. In my opinion, this platform is not suitable for new freelancers. It is only for wealthy people who want to become even richer.

Hi Harsh,

 

I am sorry to learn about your experience and how you feel about Upwork. I checked your Upwork account and the 'under review' project. I noticed that the project was last submitted on March 15th, 2023. Usually, it takes about 5 days for our team to review and update your project. We are currently receiving more projects for review than the regular volume. Please allow us longer than usual to review your project. Our team will review your project and update you as soon as possible. Please avoid resubmitting your project to avoid further delay as it may reset your review time.

 

Thank you,

Pradeep

Upwork's Project Catalog is a relatively new feature on the platform that allows clients to browse pre-defined project scopes and prices, and directly hire a freelancer without posting a job. Here are two critical differences between Upwork's Project Catalog:

  1. Project Scope and Pricing: One of the key differences between Upwork's Project Catalog and traditional job posting is that the catalog lists pre-defined project scopes and pricing. 

  2. Direct Hiring: Another critical difference between Upwork's Project Catalog and traditional job posting is that the client can directly hire a freelancer from the catalog without posting a job. 

Overall, the Project Catalog is a valuable addition to Upwork's platform, as it provides an alternative to the traditional job posting process, making it easier for clients to find and hire freelancers and for freelancers to find work.

Must Appreciate!

Hi Danish,

 

Please know that we are not privy as to why clients do not order your project or how they choose their projects at all. Please consider that there are other projects on the marketplace, clients may have different preferences, and the demand for your projects may be lower compared to other projects. We still encourage you to apply for jobs to get more chances of getting a client.

Due to higher than usual requests for project catalogs, reviews and approvals are now taking a minimum of 10 business days. Review this post for more information.

Hello everyone,

I recently posted a project on Upwork, but it hasn't been verified by the support team yet. It has been 6 days since I submitted it, and I'm starting to get concerned. I would like to know how to contact the support team to get some help with this issue. Does anyone have any experience with this or know how to reach out to them?

Thank you in advance for your help!
