Guide on Making a Contract on Upwork

Step 1: Submitting a Proposal

You start by submitting a proposal to the job posting on Upwork. Be sure to highlight your skills and past experiences related to the job. This step is crucial to attract the attention of the potential client.

Step 2: Interview

Once your proposal is accepted, the client invites you for an interview. This step could involve a chat, a video call, or any medium the client prefers. In this phase, seller and buyer discuss project details and conditions.

Step 3: Offer

Upon successful negotiation, the client sends you an offer. The offer stipulates the project details, deadlines, and price. Thoroughly review all aspects of the deal.

Step 4: Accepting the Contract

Once everything looks good, you accept the contract. The contract will then become active and accessible from the ‘My Jobs’ section. You can start working on the project from this point on.

Remember

• Not to start work without a signed contract. This is to safeguard your rights and ensure that you get paid.
• Maintain regular communication with the client through the Upwork messaging platform throughout the duration of the contract.
• Once the job is completed, the client confirms it and Upwork processes the payment.
