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,

Is anyone having any success with getting orders from the Project Catalog? I only have one posted, had it for months even boosting it, zero views. Perhaps my project sucks! 😂 I was thinking about adding at least 5 more within the next week. 

 

Here is what is slowing me down from investing the hours to post several projects. I looked at a lot of your profiles and I noticed freelancers with other projects don't seem to be getting any jobs either from the project catalog. If you have any projects in the project catalog section, how is it going for you? Have you had any takers? Share your thoughts.

I am creating my first project and trying to upload the project image but it keeps saying it cannot be read even though the image is perfectly clear. 

 

How can this be resolved?

Hi Orhan,

 

Thank you for reaching out and reporting this. Please be aware that we scale images on Project Catalog to 1000x750 pixels, which is a 4:3 ratio. If your image’s original pixel number is significantly larger or smaller, or the original size is a much different ratio, it may not look good when scaled. Small pictures may look pixelated (blurry or fuzzy) when enlarged, for example.

 

Please ensure that you've followed the instructions and guidelines provided in this help article. Then, let us know if the issue persists with a screenshot of what you can see from your end; we'll look further into that for you.

Hello Upwork, 

Yesterday I created a project catalog and it is waiting for pending approval after 18 hours, it was approved but my problem is that the project catalog price continue button is disabled, and above the continue button it is written Sorry, you cannot purchase projects in Project Catalog using this account. 

How can I solve this issue?

Hi Abu,

 

Thank you for your message. I see that your project catalog is already approved and users are able to click the continue button as seen here. Feel free to message us if you need further assistance.

Hi Vivek,

 

It looks like you're viewing the project from a client's perspective hence the edit option is not available. Kindly go to this page then click on the menu button on the right side of the project you want to edit.

Hello Annie,

Thanks for the reply.

But, I don't want to edit my approved project. I want to edit my draft project. There is no menu there.

Thanks.

Hi Vivek,

 

I checked and there should be an option to edit Projects that are under your Draft tab. You should be able to click on the three dots on the right side and then choose the Edit option. Here is a screenshot for reference. 

 

Let us know if you need further assistance.

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to turn off my consultation, but I can't figure out how.

I only see the pencil icon near it for editing, I also searched in all the editing steps but I can't find any point where I can choose to turn it on or off.

 

Someone can help me figure this out, please?

 

Thank you!

As I'm a WordPress developer my main niche is Design and Development. But I have extra skills too which are one-page SEO, adding Google search console, sitemap, and schema markup to rank websites into Google. In that case, Can I publish a Project on Upwork? I Want to provide this one-page SEO service with a Google search console, sitemap, etc.

 

 

Thank You

I saw a yellow sign on my project catalogue that I can't receive orders on it,  and I'm really confused here

Hi Elizabeth,

 

You have to make your projects visible so clients can place an order if they're interested:

Hello,  First of all I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas for this year!

I think there's not much staff during holiday, but I'm still hopeful  that my catalog will be approved soon, otherwise please tell me if there's something missing on my info 🙂 Thank you so much ❤️
