Hi Kamran,

 

We appreciate you bringing this up and we want to clear this up for everyone in order to avoid any confusion moving forward.

 

The Bring Your Own Client program is offered to both Freelancer Plus members and freelancers who have the Top Rated, Top Rated Plus, or Rising Talent badge.

 

Freelancers with the mentioned badges are notified via email when they first receive the badge and are informed that they can take advantage of the BYOC program.

 

Before, this was limited to these freelancers but in order to extend this perk to other freelancers, we also made it available for those subscribed to Freelancer Plus.

 

The 0% service fee only applies if the clients sign up using the unique link for the freelancers. If you have not received a personal invitation link, please email BringYourClient@upwork.com.

Hi Nikola,
Just checking in because I still haven't been contacted by anyone. Is it normal for this process to take so long?

Hello Nikola! I would also like to apply to the Bring Your Own Client program and get the 0% fee deal. Can I have a personal link so I can invite a client to join Upwork? Thanks!

Hi,
I am interested in inviting my client to work with me on my agency account. I have a top rated personal profile, could I invite him to the agency and get 0% commission?

Hi Omar,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. Only the owner of the Top Rated or Rising Talent Agency could use the benefit of the 

Bring Your Own Client program, and only the Exclusive Agency freelancer will benefit from this program.

 

If your agency does not meet those requirements, you can still send a link to your profile to your client and they can sign up for an Upwork account and hire you for a contract.

Hi Indrajitsinh,

 

Rising Talent, Top Rated, or Top Rated Plus freelancers who bring their offline clients to Upwork are eligible for 0% on fees with the new clients they bring. That's 0% on all contracts you have with that client, forever. Even if you lose your badge, you’ll continue to pay a 0% fee on these contracts.

 

If you have not received a personal invitation link, please email BringYourClient@upwork.com.

Hi, I have been a top-rated freelancer, but now I have lost my top-rated status. I see the option to bring my own clients when I hit the direct contract menu. Do I still have the option to bring the clients with a 0% fee markup?

Hi Zulkaif,

 

Thank you for your message. Direct Contracts makes it easy to get paid by your clients who don’t have a full account on Upwork and just need access to review your invoices and make payments. With Direct Contracts you also get the protection of escrow and if a dispute arises we will be happy to help. Check out this help page for more information.
 
Thank you,

Hi Assad,

 

Congratulations for getting the client and bring him on upwork to inhance your profile.

You can simply invite your client by sending invitation link on their email address and seconding you may consider direct connect.

 

Have a wonderful journey.
