5 Upwork Lifehacks you probably didn't know
1. You Can Get an Upwork Badge Just by Joining an Agency
If you join a Top Rated or Top Rated Plus agency as an exclusive member, you WILL benefit from the agency's badge status.
BUT you need to have at least one even 5 $ eligible contract for that.
2. You Can Remove Public Feedback by Refunding the Client
If you issue a full refund for all payments made under a contract, Upwork removes the public feedback associated with that contract from your profile.
Yes, even if the client left you a one-star review.
3. Upwork Has a Weekly Retainer Option
Most freelancers think Upwork offers only two payment models:
- Hourly contracts.
- Fixed-price contracts.
But there's another option hiding inside hourly contracts: Recurring Weekly Payments, commonly called a weekly retainer.

4. You Can Get Paid for a Milestone Without the Client Approving It
For a funded fixed-price milestone, when you click Submit Work for Payment, Upwork starts a 14-day review period.
If the client doesn't approve the milestone or request changes during those 14 days, Upwork automatically releases the escrow funds!
You don't need the client to come back online and manually click Approve!
5. Ukrainian Freelancers Have a Way to Sell Project Catalog Services With 0% Commission
Ukrainian freelancers may be able to use the donation option when selling services through Project Catalog, potentially resulting in 0% freelancer commission.
It's only possible for freelancers who were on Ipwork Before Feb, 24th 2022
