  • How do you accept an Upwork job offer and start a new job contract with a client? In this tutorial, I'll teach you everything you need to know about accepting job offers on Upwork, how to start and end job contracts, and how to give and leave feedback.
    As of the time of creation of this video, I am a top-rated freelancer on Upwork and have been selling my services as a freelancer since 2017 on this platform.
    It's important to end a contract with your first client so that they will be able to provide you with five star feedback to start building your reputation as an excellent and highly-rated freelancer.
    In this video, I'll also show you how the payment structure works on Upwork and what commission you will make from each job offer, and discuss the benefits of establishing an ongoing relationship with a client.

      Really Great video, I have a question, I have completed an hourly job and submitted the work but didn't get paid yet because I entered the hours manually and the client is offline or not responding after receiving the work So my work is not approved yet, Now what should I do to get my payment? Should I End the contract?

As a new upwork user, when a client requests for a digital art sample work to be done based on his descripttion, and send it via the messenging inbox, before sending a contact offer, do you think that's the right thing, OR, should a contract offer be sent first?

      That means you are doing an hourly job contract and not fixed rate. I have two different videos you should watch: one on fixed-rate vs hourly and the other on the "Upwork desktop app" which you should have used when logging your hours.

    • @JenniferMarieVO
      @JenniferMarieVO  2 роки тому

      For hourly rate jobs, you will get paid for the hours you logged either manually or when you put "start tracking" on the app.

      After you accept the job offer, you can begin working on the job. If it was a fixed-rate job, you can get started right away. If it's an hourly rate job, you'll have to start tracking your hours with the time tracker desktop app (I have a tutorial on that).

    I am a newbie on this field. Last time, I submitted proposals to some clients who were payment verified, but when they messaged me, they were all redirecting me outside of the upwork platform (TELEGRAM) to a particular person, and they were all in the same company logo. And then, they were asking me to give them my name, address, country, email add. Of course i ddnt do it, but instead i asked them for a copy of the contract. But i ddnt receive a response from them at all. Do you think I did the right thing? I was just being aware from scammers. Do you think these kind of clients must be avoided? Thak you in advance.

    • @JenniferMarieVO
      @JenniferMarieVO  Рік тому

      You absolutely did the right thing! I did a video on how to avoid scammers on Upwork. Asking freelancers to talk outside of the platform is against Upwork's policy if you have not already accepted a job offer. Avoid clients like this in future!
