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.

You created a project without knowing how it works?!

You just have to wait for a client to purchase it. And there is no such thing as getting orders easily in Upwork. This platform has one foot in the grave.

Hi Md Nahidul Islam,

 

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. Feel free to check this help article to learn more, connect, and grow on Project Catalog.

How can a Proofreader /Editor engage or contribute in the project Catalog? 

Clark's avatar
Clark S Community Member

You can provide proofreading/editing services in a project catalog. The project catalog allows you to setup a pre-packaged proofreading/editing service that clients can buy without you sending a proposal. Due to higher than usual requests for project catalogs, reviews and approvals are taking a minimum of 10 business days. Read Get Started With Project Catalog for more information.

 

Before doing that, you need to complete the other important sections in your profile. Your overview/summary needs more information about your experience, the services you provide, how you meet a client's proofreading/editing needs, and why you are the best freelancer they could choose.

 

Next, add more skill categories to your skills list; this will help match you with proofreading/editing jobs. After that, add portfolio to provide a few samples of your proofreading expertise.

 

Once you make these updates, clients will have a better understanding of your services and how it might benefit them.

Hi Muhammad,

 

I checked your account and I do not see a client account on this profile. You will need to create a client account before you purchase a project.

Hello Forum,

Do anybody here now what happen with profile rating if one of my project in upwork is bought 5 times in a year?

Thanks for your answer!!!

Hi Xhuljo,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us here in the Community. Receiving several purchases on a project is indeed amazing and it will not affect your profile negatively. However, completing projects successfully with good feedback from clients improves your results in Search.

 

Additionally, you can help promote your project by staying visible on Project Catalog (keeping your project turned on) and sharing links to your project on social media or on your own website or blog. Shared projects get 2x more views and 3x more purchases. Best of luck!

Dear Upwork team,

I am a new freelancer on Upwork. However, I note my project catalogs have been always under review for such a long time. I am not sure what happen so I try to optimize it in order to make it perfect, but the new countdown time will occur. Thus, I can do nothing now, just waiting. I am aware it takes some time, but can you please speed up the process?

Perhaps for some cases you need a robot review instead of manual review.

I hope you are all doing well and thanks for your attention.

Hi, I've been booked for a 30 minute consultation, but both the client and I decided to change time and date. When I try to reschedule the meeting in the Overview section of the Project page, I can't seem to select other time or date. I'm currently using Firefox navigator (it's updated), but I have tried from the mobile app and from Opera navigator too, with the same bad results. Can you help me?
Or, can I still use the same link for the meeting, on the agreed date with the client through the workstream?

Thanks in advance,

Tamara.-

Hi Tamara,

 

Please remember that your client will only be able to schedule according to your minimum booking notice time, and it will apply to you if you need to reschedule. For example, if your minimum booking notice is 3 days, you'll only see times before that 3-day window. The lowest minimum booking notice you can choose is one hour.

 

You’ll only be able to choose times that fall after your minimum booking notice. Once you and your client have agreed, you can reschedule by following these steps:

 

  1. From your home page, go to My Jobs > My Jobs and select your contract. This will open your project’s contract workroom.
  2. In the Overview tab, find the Project Timeline > Consultation section and select the Reschedule button
  3. You’ll see a message reminding you to talk to your client. If you’ve already done so, choose Continue
  4. A Schedule your consultation box will appear, and you can select your new consultation date and time
  5. Select the Confirm button to save your selections

 

Also, it's important to know that If you already have activities on your linked calendar, those times won’t be available for meetings. The system automatically makes those times unavailable, even if you mark them available on Upwork. Feel free to check this help article for more details.

Hi Arjay,

Many thanks for your detailed answer.

I've checked the available resources and information about the steps to reschedule, before I create the post here, because I couldn't see any options avaible nor select any other date.

However, after checking the availability settings in the original consultation I created, I noticed that the problem were the opening hours. After updating those, I was able to reschedule the meeting.

Thank you!

Hi,

 

Im fairly old to upwork, and often talk to clients.

But this time i decided to go ahead and put a project. Seems like its still under review (More than 3 days)

Im not able to find the right place to submit a ticket regarding this, so creating a forum post.

 

Will be helpful if someone from upwork team can get back to me, and tell me if there is something wrong with my Project details.

 

Thanks

Rohan
