Thoroughly explained. Been working on fixed-price contracts, but I just got this client that wants an hourly contract so I gotta learn about it and I wasn't disappointed after landing on and watching your video. Thank you Jennifer, I'm your newest subscriber
Thanks for this! It's been a few years since I worked on Upwork, and things have changed a lot. I was struggling with understanding how on earth to get the hours/pay sorted out. I think I've got it now, thanks to this video. :)
Thank you for this, i just started this May, after finishing my general virtual assistant course, i am confident with my skills set, but till now i still haven't gotten any interviews, just hope i can get some decent client before my connects runs out, but ive been watching your videos, and it helps a lot, thank you for doing this.
Hello Jennifer, thank you for this video its very helpful. I just got my first hourly contract and I'm very confuse about it. Then I found your video and now i feel really helped. Thank you once again!
Hi Jennifer , Hope you doing well ! I have question about screen capture as i have team, So what if work on hourly project and I am not working on that job but someone on my team , Then how screen capture will work ? Cause i will not allow my team mate to have my upwork on there pc , so only solution will be manual hours ? Or any other solution as well ?
since in my country there is no such thing as hourly rate, i'm still confused about this system. I'd be glad if anyone answer my questions: 1. If I do hourly rate, does that mean if I finish the job faster, i'll get paid less? Let's say there is a $10/hour job that normally can be finished in 6 hours, but i can do it in 2 hours. So instead of getting $60, i only get $20 ? 2. How to determine how many hours that needs to do a job? 3. How to calculate my hourly rate? Thanks to anyone who answered it
Hi Jennifer. Your channel has very important information for us freelancers. I have a question: When I work by the hour, can I combine the options to add time manually and the tracker? Or can I only use one way?
Great question! Yes, you can use both the time tracker and/or add manual hours. Some clients disable the manual option. However, it is important to note That payment protection is only offered for hours tracked with the time tracker or if you take on a fixed price contract. I recommend only using manual hour option with clients you already trust and have established a relationship with.
Hi Jennifer! Thanks for the info! I need to know where I can find a regulation on Upwork where it says the minimum payment. I found a client who offers a job for $1 and I understood that the minimum is $5 but I'm not sure. I would like to make sure before reporting it. Thank you
Hello, you are welcome! For that, you would start your time tracker when you start working on the task, and then stop working on the task after one hour and click "stop tracking". It's important that you use the time tracker while working instead of setting manual time. Adding manual time isn't payment protected, but using the time tracker is, since the time tracker takes screenshots of your computer and also tracks mouse clicks, etc.
Hi Jennifer! I work on Upwork doing varied jobs including transcription. My question is sometimes I get invitations and offers overnight while I’m sleeping or just too busy work on the projects. In your experience is it better to ignore or decline the offfer? Does it look better for my stats to at least decline and give a reason rather than ignore it? Thanks for your help 😊
Does anybody know how I can edit the hours I added manually? I added my hours on a wrong day, and I need to adjust that, but this new version of Upwork doesn't show any option to edit or delete.
You're welcome! It depends on the job type. If you're looking at a job that involves on-going hours, then I think hourly makes sense. For me, I do a lot of voice over jobs, so fixed-price allows me to give the client an exact number that they can expect to pay, and I can work at my own pace on it when I want.
Hi jeniffer your video is very helpful! i just have one question let's say i have 2 monitors with me for work 1 for my main working monitor (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc) and another one displaying googlechrome (for e-mails), WhatsApp, and discord application does the tracker will also screencapture those apps? (even after i set to "active applications" only settings) Thank you
Hello! You can ask the client to end the hourly contract and say you prefer to work with fixed contracts. They can then send you a fixed price contract instead. :)
Hi Jennifer, I got my first job from upwork few days back as I followed your guidance on writing proposal. I have to work on mobile as a instagram marketer. So how can use time track for that? Because Even-though I have dowloaded desktop app, it only record the laptop screen. Also I could not find a mobile version for time track
This is difficult. You may have to add manual time for the parts you can't record. I would discuss this with your client. Manual time added isn't payment protected, however. Or you could do work from your laptop. Some applications allow you to post from Instagram vis your laptop.
You can agree together on a rate. If you apply to a job that pays $15 an hour, that is probably the rate the client wants to pay. If you want to do a job for more or less than that, you can include that in your proposal what you hope to be paid.
Hey, tried getting your email address but couldn't. This is regarding Video editing. Can you tell me if I can easily use Adobe premiere pro on HP Elite book..Core i5, 2.70ghz, 12gig RAM specifications for video editing? And I can use AFTER EFFECT only without making use Adobe premiere pro, but other video editing software?
I have another question. As I have a contract with a client now. Is it fine to give him my email or mobile no as the client has asked it for his convenience

What about hourly contract for hand done work?
Right. That's what I'm trying to figure out. I'm a videographer. I guess the client just has to manually input the estimated hours or something

Have you tried to download upwork timer app on a windows tablet like Microsoft Surface? Will it work?
Thank you very much, you cleared my all doubts.. 😊
Thank you so much for this. I'm still leaving Upwork though. The platform is against freelancers
but my tracker is not taking screenshot of my PC screen it is taking my picture for my web cam

Is it mandatory to use the up work specific time tracker or can another one be used?
Hi Jennifer! Thanks for the info!

Great and very helpful video.Thank you
Very Useful. Thank you
when you've finished up logging hours do you end the cotract?
Well explained!! Thanks.
Hello Jennifer, thank you for the video, how do I track a 1hr per week task?
Hello, you are welcome! For that, you would start your time tracker when you start working on the task, and then stop working on the task after one hour and click "stop tracking". It's important that you use the time tracker while working instead of setting manual time. Adding manual time isn't payment protected, but using the time tracker is, since the time tracker takes screenshots of your computer and also tracks mouse clicks, etc.
So if the contract by millstone there is no time right?
Thank you, really helpful.
very helpful, thanks Jennifer
Its possible to install the time tracker in an ipad?
Hi Jennifer! I work on Upwork doing varied jobs including transcription. My question is sometimes I get invitations and offers overnight while I’m sleeping or just too busy work on the projects. In your experience is it better to ignore or decline the offfer? Does it look better for my stats to at least decline and give a reason rather than ignore it? Thanks for your help 😊
Definitely decline the offers instead of ignoring them so it won't affect your response rate. :)
@@JenniferMarieVO thanks so much I appreciate all your help and videos all the time :)
Thank you so so much for this.
Does anybody know how I can edit the hours I added manually? I added my hours on a wrong day, and I need to adjust that, but this new version of Upwork doesn't show any option to edit or delete.
Thank you for the video. Is there a reason you prefer fixed over hourly contracts?
I’m currently considering programming/coding projects via Upwork
You're welcome! It depends on the job type. If you're looking at a job that involves on-going hours, then I think hourly makes sense. For me, I do a lot of voice over jobs, so fixed-price allows me to give the client an exact number that they can expect to pay, and I can work at my own pace on it when I want.
I am using the time tracker but the client is not yet releasing the payment. Is that normal? also, how about jobs that cannot time track?
Thank you Jennifer😊
Thank you ma'am
I’m the person who hiring how do I track the person who I hired
Hi jeniffer your video is very helpful!
i just have one question
let's say i have 2 monitors with me for work
1 for my main working monitor (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc)
and another one displaying googlechrome (for e-mails), WhatsApp, and discord application
does the tracker will also screencapture those apps?
(even after i set to "active applications" only settings)
Thank you
Good question
Thanks, Keep going
can i add manual time after the weekly limit is reached?
Hi! is there a chance to transform a hourly contract to a fixed price contract? thanks :D
Hello! You can ask the client to end the hourly contract and say you prefer to work with fixed contracts. They can then send you a fixed price contract instead. :)
Hi
I forget my password and security question can you help me???
You need to contact Upwork support. I can't help you with that.
Thank you !!!
plz make vedeoes on captcha typing genuine apps or sites

@@JenniferMarieVO 🥰 Thank you so much dear Jenni for replying me . Currently I am working with the client.
Client pays to upwork before hiring on hourly contract?
Is there a way to work on hourly paid jobs without laptop? And ipad app time tracker? Or maybe manually show you’re working?
In this case you would have to log your hours manually.
@@JenniferMarieVOIs it possible to use a different time tracker other than up work?
Thx a lot
Thank you
For hourly jobs,who decide hourly rate, client or freelancer?
You can agree together on a rate. If you apply to a job that pays $15 an hour, that is probably the rate the client wants to pay. If you want to do a job for more or less than that, you can include that in your proposal what you hope to be paid.
Thanks

Soo a client asked me what my rate per film minute is and I am not quite sure what it means can you pleasee help me please 🙏
What type of job is it? Video editing? If do, they mean how much do you charge per video minute of creation/editing.
What a beautiful hair.
How to end a contract when an hourly job is completed?
I have another question. As I have a contract with a client now. Is it fine to give him my email or mobile no as the client has asked it for his convenience
Yes, it is okay to give your email now.
@@JenniferMarieVO Thank you my dear Jenni for helping always and for your generosity. Love you
nice
Wow your hourly rate is too far away from me 🙂🙂
very helpful and thorough, thanks!
Thank you Jennifer, you helped a lot!
