Learn what Upwork’s Project Catalog is, how to create listings that attract clients, and how to showcase your skills with customizable projects and secure payments.
What is Project Catalog?
Project Catalog is where you let clients come to you. When you create a project, it displays as a listing that clients can open to learn more. Clients find you by searching for the skills and services you offer.
You’ll personalize your project with a title, text, images, a video, and PDF work samples that describe what you offer. You can let client’s customize the project with extra service tiers and add-ons, too, if you like.
Prospective clients can easily browse projects, discover the details, and start working with you—all directly from your project. Meanwhile, you’ll be in complete control, managing the visibility and workflow of your projects to leverage the work you’re passionate about.
You’ll also have the convenience and security of Upwork’s billing and payment system and payment protection. The freelancer service fee on projects and consultations works like other contracts, learn more here.
Attracting clients
We review all project listings before publishing them on Project Catalog to help ensure a quality platform that helps you attract quality clients, and we promote Project Catalog on client pages.
Once your project listing is published, the project will display on your Upwork profile. You can also share the project’s URL in your profile’s description and on your social media accounts for even more visibility.
