Hey guys what's going on, Paul here with ProfitableFreelancer, and the reason I'm filming
this video is because I just got an awesome email. It's an invite from Upwork to basically a
behind-the-scenes opportunity that they're working on. So they sent me this email and it said,
"hey are you tired of constantly scanning for jobs submitting proposals, and waiting for responses
negotiating contracts? well, guess what we have a brand new option that we're bringing to our
website." and they invited me to join their early access program for their project catalog
and as soon as I checked it out it looked really familiar to something else that we know.
So stick around I'll show you exactly what it is very similar to but let's jump into exactly
what it is. So it's not a new Upwork platform that they're going to change. It's actually an
addition to the platform that they're going to be adding and it's all about adding another way
for freelancers to display the different projects and the services that they offer. And with this
project catalog, it's really built so clients are going to be coming to freelancers instead of the
freelancers having to always go out and submit the proposal, So this is a really awesome way that I'm
really excited to get into especially because this is just launching. This is all brand new
and it's built to help freelancers increase their earnings to stand out from the crowd and there's
no real risk with it because they're giving you some really good features. Especially with this
early access program so I went in I signed up for it I built my first project out and I want to
show you what it looks like. So let's hop right over to it. So right off the bat if you're not
familiar with this kind of page layout this is exactly how Fiverr has their website structured.
So if we hop over to Fiverr real quick we can see the similarities right off the bat, where
you have your projects on the right. And these are the different tiers where there's basic standard
and premium Upwork basically followed and modeled directly after this. So I built out a google ads
management as well as audit project and I have a starter a standard and an advanced and as you
can see these different deliverables change with each service tier. And then there's an area where
you can put a photo so I built this cover photo for myself here and then I put in some of my good
reviews. And it goes into the actual project so what you're going to be able to offer different
clients and then you get to break it down by step which is really nice because this is all
things that when you work with a lot of different clients. You have to go through this process over
and over so what Upwork's doing and the same thing that Fiverr is known for is they make it very easy
for a client to find a freelancer they need a project done. And it gets done there's less
communication time and there's more value being delivered so that's what I love about this being
able to clearly just show exactly what the steps of the project are. Being able to lay out the
requirements and it even gives you an opportunity to go in here and add different frequently asked
questions which is just awesome because these clients are going to be reaching out to you now
with an understanding already of who you are, what the project entails their project steps,
their requirements and even their most frequently asked questions. So when you do speak to clients
it's going to be someone that's already ready to purchase or someone that already purchased
and below that, that's where they put in your Upwork profile and all of your most recent
reviews. And they can actually click this and they can look at all of your reviews in your profile
and another interesting part about this is that it is protected with the Upwork payment protection.
So this is going to give those clients that peace of mind that you're not going to they're not going
to be you know left hanging if the freelancer just disappears. So Upwork is really offering
a brand new service here and I'm excited to bring it to you guys first. And I have early access to
this so I submitted this project I'll show you over here I actually submitted this and it's now
pending approval. So I'm hoping you know this gets approved soon and we can be one of the
first ones out there with one of these projects on Upwork and I hope this was helpful. Listen,
