Hi Mohammad and Hemayet, 

 

I'm sorry to hear about your projects being rejected. Please refer to the email that our team has sent you for suggestions on how to improve your projects before resubmission of them. 

 

You’ll want to make sure your project is attractive to clients and catches their eye. Here are some best practices to create a professional project:

 

  • Highlight your project in simple, jargon-free language.
  • Choose professional images that speak to your work. (Don’t have great images of your work? Check out websites like www.unsplash.com that offer free, high-quality images you can use. Be sure to make sure you have permission to use.) 
  • Proofread your work so there are no typos.
  • Don’t use click bait, text-heavy graphics, or the Upwork logo/badge.

To learn more about Project Catalog, you can check this help article.

 

Thank you.

This is abslutely ridiculous how Upwork is luring freelancers into its platform and forcing them to submit confidential documents.

 

I created a catalog assuming that my catalog will be published, but mine was not approved for twice and I fixed everything. Today, Upwork is asking me to submit the verification documents in order to approve the catalog. That means the actual "Approval" has nothing to do with approval procedures. Rather, it is a lurning method to get the user's documents.

 

I am fine to do my ID verification, but the way Upwork wasted my time and trust is disgusting... This platform's professiolism is not even close to Fiverr.

 

I just researched some information after this on YouTube, and many are mmourning about this platform. I wonder why.
