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.

Hi Dilber,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. Were you trying it from your account? The system will not let you purchase your own project but rest assured that this is available for clients to purchase. I checked on your account and can confirm that they are visible in the marketplace.

Hi MD Tanzim,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. I would like to clarify that if you edit your project we will re-review your project. However, while we are reviewing it, clients will still be able to see it in search and purchase it. You can find more information in this help article.

You're inquiring about the message that reads, 'Sorry, you cannot purchase projects in Project Catalog using this account.' This is not actually an issue. Your catalog is currently active. This message simply indicates that you can't purchase your own catalog because it belongs to you. When a client views your catalog, they won't see this message on their end.

I still don't have a grasp on how to go about this project Catalog as a Proofreader /Editor. It's also got a huge traffic, all jammed up with unsorted out issues.

Am I understanding this correctly?

Upwork Project Catalogs are priced hourly not fixed price.

If there is a fixed-price option, I do not see it. 

Can anyone enlighten me on this topic?

 

Thanks

Hi there, I am new at Upwork I have created 2 projects and the two projects are approved by the Upwork team. Then when I searched in the project section then could not show my project in search results. I checked all pages but I cannot find my project. How I can solve the problem? Please, someone help me.

Annie Jane's avatar

Hi Md Juwel,

 

Here are some tips we can provide to improve the visibility of projects:
 

  1. Add a specific keyword to the project title. Think of specific search terms or keywords that clients may be using when searching for services and incorporate those in the title/description. Looking at the user's title includes too many keywords.
  2. Add keywords to the project description too to increase project conversion

 
When clients search for projects, the project ranking depends on the search query, talent quality, and the relevancy of the project.

 
Our search is based on several factors that continue to evolve. We cannot disclose exactly what makes up the rules for a search order, and those rules are likely to change, so any specific advice we could give you would be short-lived. Search is no longer mainly static, meaning it always stays the same. Depending on marketplace activity across jobs and contractors, a contractor's search position will likely ebb and flow.
 
Also, you can share his Catalog projects on Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter, or just copy the link and post it elsewhere. 
As long as your project is set to visible when clicking the 3 dot icon, you can select "Share" > then select the option that works best for you.

Hello, Community.

 

When creating a project in Project Catalog, I cannot see a fixed pricing option. Only hourly is there. But while roaming in other freelancers' profiles, I found out they have fixed prices for the different tiers/packages of their project catalog. 

 

The solution to this would be great for me. Thanks.

Annie Jane's avatar
Annie Jane B Retired Team Member

Hi Abdullahil,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. Please know that project pricing plans are kind of similar to milestones on fixed-price contracts. You’ll choose predetermined pricing for each project. Project prices can range from as little as $5 to as much as $500,000.

 

The price of your project must take into account the delivery days and revisions. To help you set up the pricing for your projects, please check this help article.

Hi Gustavo,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. The number of projects you can publish isn't based on your membership plan. You can have up to 20 projects total in active/review status at once on your Freelancer and Agency profiles. You can also have another 20 in draft form.  To learn more about Project Catalog, please click here.

Hi Hatice,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. Please be aware that Project Catalog submissions have a five-business-day goal to review new project submissions. Your project remains in the queue for review and should be picked up by the team soon. In the meantime, feel free to check the articles in this section to learn more about how Project Catalog works.

 

Additionally, as a freelancer, your profile picture has to accurately represent who you are; it obviously shouldn't be a photo of a place, a design, an object, or someone or something else (also, misrepresenting who you are goes against our Terms of Service.) You may want to check this help article to learn how to choose a good profile picture.
