Just finished my first project and did this and client gave me 5 stars( gave them 5 stars too)...THANK YOUU SOOOOOO MUCH ( the part where you have to say more than half my business is with clients I've worked with before ----- I skipped it bcoz I had no job done yet 😆LOL) Thanks again bless u!
hey buddy i would like to ask is this is the only way like after clients end the contract the feedback will be shown to the client or the option is visible before that as well ??
I seriously slowed this down and took notes. As an introvert on the shy side, I’m not great at coming up with this language. But now that I have it, it’s easy to send to clients and simply make it part of my process. Thanks for the valuable content! Loving this channel!
Evan, thank you for all the good information you're sharing through this channel. It's been about a month since I started on Upwork, and I recently got my first "5-star" 5-star review after giving the client your tips on things to include. On asking for referrals, I'm curious how best to onboard referred clients when they're not yet on Upwork (or even if they already are). I've read a bit about Direct Contracts and Bring Your Own Client and am wondering about the pros and cons of those and other, off-Upwork alternatives.
@@FreelanceMVP I have requested for a review of my upwork account...I will not mind if you roast me and make a video out of my upwork account...I respect you and I have accepted you as my mentor...If I am a newbie cub in the jungle, you are a lion over here...I do have lots of things to learn from you...I will not say best of luck to you cause you are making your own luck...
Hi Evan, thank you so much for these amazing videos. I have a question about the last part where you mentioned to never end contracts and to have the client do it instead. Why is that exactly? I’m asking because recently I had to end a milestone contract on Upwork because the project was completed but the client just left Upwork after everything was delivered. The project was clearly finished. Then I waited months for a response after everything was accepted, but nothing happened so finally I just closed the contract. Any advice? Thank you for always keeping it real and not gatekeeping incredible information. Best freelance advice channel 🙏🏽
Hi Evan, I enjoyed the video. My only question is if someone is doing a short project or maybe a few short projects to get reviews so that they can get more long term projects, would sending this message after a short project be a bit overkill or lengthy? I would still definitely want a good review but would a shorter message make more sense for a small project that may even only take a few minutes?
@Rayhanur kabir Awesome... I love it! Happy to help! Customize it for yourself as you go along, but it is literally the template of the most effective way I've found to get 5-star reviews from clients when it's time to close out the contract. When you use it next time, if you get 5 stars, then be sure to let everyone know on the comments section :D
Excellent tutorials. Can you please make another updated video on How to write cover letters?? As, I have tried many writing approaches but none of them worked. Thanks in advance... ✌️
@@FreelanceMVP great man, thank you soo much, it'll mean a lot for me as i have wasted a lot of my pocket money in buying connects but didn't got any good results.

@@FreelanceMVP Evan, is it possible I could send you my cover letter which I am changing constantly, but I do something wrong and would love your experience and expertise! :)
Great video, I'm a bit confused do we need to send all the text you showed in one message, different messages, or use any of the above examples? Thank you!
@@FreelanceMVP yes that's like a magic trick. It worked amazing. But I tried sending it to a couple of clients, seems alot of text to me. Or it's me who's thinking like that? Some clients even didn't responded after approval of milestone. So contract still open.
@Ubaid Ur Rehman Don't worry about sending them lots of text. When you've done a great job for a client, there is an inherent sense of wanting to do good for the people who have done good for you. Don't worry if you have contracts that remain open - as far as I know, you are NOT penalized for having contracts that are open. But just don't FORCE a contract closed. Small tip - if you follow it, you will see the benefit of it in a few months 😉😉
@@FreelanceMVP Thank you so much. Really effective. Actually, each line is so beautifully craved that I don't wanna skip any single word. Thank you again :)
The answer to the question in my opinion is We should forget THE END CONTRACT BUTTON because we should focus on our target. 5-star review is a target, and forgetting the END CONTRACT BUTTON will help you never give up. This way you will have a greater chance of working till the last bit to receive 5 stars. Mark my presence😂❤️
@Vasu Dev lol we don't have socials up and running yet (or even a website, LOL!) so the best thing would be to just drop a comment on this video for the time being. Soon we'll get these things set up!
@Rayhanur kabir Nice try, but no! Feel free to keep guessing - when you get the right answer, you will know you're right by my very-uncommon SILENCE! :-)
If, for some reason, your expecting bad feedback, leave that well alone, and let that contract sit open. Although you can always end it yourself and hope the client forgets to leave feedback at all! 🙊
Hi Evan. Wouldn't that be a violation of the Terms of Service? On the Upwork forum, it is mentioned that a gentle reminder for honest feedback is allowed. But asking for good feedback is a violation of Upwork ToS.
Thanks Wladimir. I've double-checked the Upwork Terms of Service, and I haven't found what you're referring to. And more fundamentally... 1. Why WOULDN'T you ask for great feedback, when you've done a great job? 2. And if the client doesn't 100% agree that it's a great job, and you demonstrate the willingness to go above and beyond for them such that they would happily give you a great rating, how would that be wrong? (because in an alternative scenario, should the ToS be designed in a way that means you should be delivering not-so-great work because you're disincentivized to make it better???) I wouldn't suggest anyone ask for good feedback for "no good reason" - I do know for a fact that PAYING for a good review IS a violation of the ToS. But "doing great work, and ensuring that client is happy and had a great experience" (and will be inclined to use Upwork again because they had a great experience)... I'm pretty sure that's one of Upwork's fundamental goals. I think maybe the person you're referencing on the Community forum might have misinterpreted something. Take it with a grain of salt (AND MY RESPONSE ABOVE^ TOO!) and go straight to the Terms of Service, read through them in full, and then you can decide for yourself. And always remember... "Just because someone said it on a forum / in a RUclips video / in a RUclips comment... DOESN'T MEAN IT'S TRUE!" 🤣
@@FreelanceMVP hahahahahaha, true. I agree with you 100%. All the answers on the Upwork forum are the same, even without any mention in the manipulating or misusing the feedback system. I thought all freelancers had issues with this theme. Thank you very much for the reply. Your channel is fantastic.
Thanks so much Wladimir - I really appreciate it! Yes, don't trust everything you read or hear... it's always good to go directly to the source and find out for yourself. 🤗 Luckily, I learned this very early in my journey!
I have a question: I am struggling to increase my efficiency. I want to reach a certain level of income per month and I was doing that very well for the last few months. But, now, it seems like there’s a roadblock and I just can’t seem to increase my revenue - not because I don’t have opportunities; but only because I just can’t do more by myself. It’s like where you max out your productivity and there’s no more room to work on more projects in the same amount of time. So, my question to you is: How can I equip myself to get more work done in the same amount if time and scale? Should I work on building an agency or use tools to increase my efficiency? I am very confused. I would love to see a response from you on this.
Hey @Anas, some thoughts: Improve your quality. Look at what the highest earning freelancers in your niche are charging for the kind of projects you do. Deliver work that is FAR better than theirs. Start charging more. Raise your rates after every project (just make sure you watched the video on getting 5 stars every time!) Look at how you can break your process down into specific steps, and maximize efficiency (yes, use tools wherever possible) Start with that, and make sure you stick with us! If you're not subscribed already... well you know what to do🤣
I have a question: I am new in freelancing and I am not sure when to asked questions. Client sent numbers of questions and I honestly answered them. Then he got back to me with the statement of what they want to do and asked me if I'm on board or not. Should I ask questions now or not yet? Should I ask questions after the training video? P.S. I would love to hear your response on this. Thank you in advance.
Hi Evan, please can you help me with this. I already deliver quality work for my client and asked for review and to close the contract, based in your video ( thank you by the way). But the client didn´t respond and didn´t close the contract. What should I do? should I ask him again to close the contract or send him a reminder?
@@FreelanceMVP Inactive open contracts do hurt your account :(. They did hurt my account. If a client doesn't want to give you a review or close the contract most probably means they weren't happy with your work and don't want to give you a negative review. I experienced this both as a freelancer and as a client. I had to close the contract myself as a freelancer and gave the client a review but he didn't and was the best option for my profile. As a client I let the freelancer close the contract so I don't have to give him a bad review and I wasn't happy with his half finished work.
I don't understand if I can write a review and close the contract by myself ? And will it be immediately visible to my client, and can he also write me a review? Does only the client have the right to close the contract?
I am not sure but I read somewhere that asking for a 5star review to the client is again upwork policy? is that correct? need your words on this. Thanks in Advance
@Muneeb Ahmed good question. It would be extremely surprising to me if that were the case (because then people would just be aiming for “any level feedback since they can’t ask for 5 stars?”)… so I checked the Terms of Use again. I’m not an attorney but I don’t see anything in there that remotely resembles “you can’t ask for 5 stars”! 😂😂😂 So my thinking is, until they tell me that I cannot, I am going to ask EVERY SINGLE CLIENT I have, to consider the work I’ve done and let me know if there is anything I can do to get them to feeling that 5-star, 10/10 level! 🚀 PS - What you definitely CANNOT do is have someone create fake jobs just to do feedback building. That is DEFINITELY against Upwork’s rules - it says so in the Terms of Use.
Hello! I have a question, my credit card is suspended, does upwork escrow holds the revenues in the meanwhile and I can withdraw it later or is it mandatory? Thanks !
I got my 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 reviews on my first project by using these exact words Thank you Sooooo much for helping us. After watching your videos I got my first job with in one month. Your success is not yours you are spreading the knowledge to others as well.
It’s not, read the terms of service. You cannot PAY for a review - but you can always ask the client politely to be sure to leave you a review when your contract is coming to a close.
Don't know how I bumped onto this. All in all GREAT video ❤️. I also have been watching those rather similar from mStarTutorials and kinda wonder how you guys make these vids. MSTAR TUTORIALS also had amazing information about similiar things on his vids.
Hey Evan, I have 2 five star reviews on Upwork (1 with feedback, 1 with no feedback) and I have 3 ongoing projects. but the rates are so low. I am working on 4$ per hour. The client says he is on a budget and now I am working for 4$ per hour for the sake of his feedback. But, he kept giving me more work and when I ask him to increase rates or increase the weekly hour limit, he kept telling me he is on a budget. I already started the contracts and with this thing goin on, I am going to work for a longg time for just 4$ per hour. What should I do? And there's this client. she asked me to get something for 200 USD but the thing is, it is worth over 3kUSD and I agreed to work on that and the contract is created (it is a fixed price contract) and I've been hustling for over 3 motnths for 200$ payment! I want to end the contract but I am afraid she will give me 1 star review! If I ask a client to end the contract without paying me anything, will it affect me profile? how do I make the high profile clients to hire me instead of top rated plus clients? (I have a good portfolio and I have a good profile in general.) Because by default, doesn't it make sense for a client to hire a hire a top rated freelancer than a freelancer with 2 reviews? I need perspective on this. And also, what do you think of creating an enterprise on Upwork? is it better than working solo as a freelancer? will you get more jobs?
Just finished my first project and did this and client gave me 5 stars( gave them 5 stars too)...THANK YOUU SOOOOOO MUCH ( the part where you have to say more than half my business is with clients I've worked with before ----- I skipped it bcoz I had no job done yet 😆LOL) Thanks again bless u!

After watching your videos I got my first job with in one month. Your success is not yours you are spreading the knowledge to others as well.
SubhanAllah Aameen great
Guys, be cautious. Requesting a 5-star rating from a client might be interpreted as feedback manipulation. It may result in your ban from Upwork.
It’s not, read the terms of service. You cannot PAY for a review - but you can always ask the client politely to be sure to leave you a review when your contract is coming to a close.
Don't know how I bumped onto this. All in all GREAT video ❤️. I also have been watching those rather similar from mStarTutorials and kinda wonder how you guys make these vids. MSTAR TUTORIALS also had amazing information about similiar things on his vids.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Evan, I have 2 five star reviews on Upwork (1 with feedback, 1 with no feedback) and I have 3 ongoing projects. but the rates are so low. I am working on 4$ per hour. The client says he is on a budget and now I am working for 4$ per hour for the sake of his feedback. But, he kept giving me more work and when I ask him to increase rates or increase the weekly hour limit, he kept telling me he is on a budget. I already started the contracts and with this thing goin on, I am going to work for a longg time for just 4$ per hour. What should I do?
And there's this client. she asked me to get something for 200 USD but the thing is, it is worth over 3kUSD and I agreed to work on that and the contract is created (it is a fixed price contract) and I've been hustling for over 3 motnths for 200$ payment! I want to end the contract but I am afraid she will give me 1 star review! If I ask a client to end the contract without paying me anything, will it affect me profile?
how do I make the high profile clients to hire me instead of top rated plus clients? (I have a good portfolio and I have a good profile in general.)
Because by default, doesn't it make sense for a client to hire a hire a top rated freelancer than a freelancer with 2 reviews? I need perspective on this.
And also, what do you think of creating an enterprise on Upwork? is it better than working solo as a freelancer? will you get more jobs?
