Please @Jennifer, I am still really confused. I got my first job on upwork (fixed price and a single milestone, with money already in escrow) . I have submitted, and I am yet to be paid. Am I to request for payment again from client or I will be automatically credited? And what's the duration of my waiting. I just wanted to be cleared. Also if I failed to request payment, would the client decide not to pay? Thank you so much for all your videos they keep guiding me through.

I think the date means when the first milestone will be completed and what is its amount. The description can be something quite ordinary like "phase 1", "phase 2" etc. depending on how many milestones you have.

@@nermin.svraka What if I am doing a logo design and have the first revision being the first milestone. In the first part of the logo design I usually have a conversation with them and send them a questionnaire to fill out that gives me tons of info of their needs and wants for their logo. What if the client doesn't get back to me by the first milestone date? Will I have a ding or negative impact on me because I couldn't submit the first revision even though they didn't bget back to me with enough time to complete the first revision?

@GMoney-B tbh, am not sure but I think, or at least I would do it like this. I would ask for all the details before starting any project and conclude with the client all the details, how many milestones, how much per milestone and then proceed with the work. That way, I could ensure myself that the client does not add more work than what was agreed.

I'm new to learning about milestones too, but maybe just word it that the first milestone is for submission of the first revision and also state that you will carry out whatever amount of revisions or revisions needed, after the first milesone.

I'm relatively new Is there something for buyers to get understanding? I've waiting 3 months for my project from a freelancer but I honestly think he been done but I haven't seen anything yet. So, I overall paid a fixed price for $1015 we split it up in milestone where I gave him $515 to get started and the other $500 is for completion. So, with that being said on my end as a buyer it says "You haven’t funded this milestone yet. Make sure the milestone is funded, so *Freelancer** can start working this for the completion one, so I have to fund that FIRST before he give me the project done? and if I like it then release it? OR he has to give me the project first then I fund it? I'm a little confused by that and just want to make sure I do it right so we're not cheating each other. Great video it was informative as a seller if I ever decided too haha.

Little hard to follow on the details and maybe because of lack of context, but you should always pay your freelancer's for their time, unless they are cheating you and don't give you anything. If it's just matter of opinion or design taste, then you just need to keep working with them and be patient. Many people don't know what they want and designers/freelancers are willing to work with you if you work with them and be amiable(Not saying you aren't at all, but just a tip if ever becomes helpful). Especially with creative fields, you often just have to keep working a problem to find the right style and feel. However, even if you don't like a style and feel of a design, you still need to pay them for their time and just look for other freelancers who have a portfolio that is closer to the type of work you are looking for. I'm actually more so just broadcasting to the community of upwork and world of clients/designers so that people better realize what I was mentioning. So not necessarily pointing any fingers at you or anything but just trying to give insight or helpfulness to the community.

Unfortunately, making money online is a long journey. The best way to make money online is to freelance (in my opinion), but it takes time to build a reputation and slowly gain clients. To earn money FAST is very difficult, but you can try a number of paid surveys , apply to transcription jobs, etc.

What happens if the client doesn't get back to me on details by the deadline date of say, the first milestone? So for example what I'm wondering is--- If I say first milestone is first revision of a logo design and set a due date in a week, and I have my initial questionnaire and info gathering from the client to find out what they want in their logo and need, then they take forever to get back and the first milestone date has passed. Will I get dinged or anything negative be incurred on me for not submitting a first revision by the first milestone date? Even though I had been waiting on them for the info from them?

@@JenniferMarieVO Thank you! Also, this is pretty random but I don't know where to turn to. I have been freelancing graphic design, web and motion graphics between 7-10 years and a lot of my clients just suddenly reduced their budgets because their clients budgets were reduced, and alas I have bills coming in a matter of a week or so. I am struggling to make money. I am trying to look for any jobs I can honestly even if I have to get a rummy nummy job at a grocery store or wherever but getting hired takes forever. What can I do to start making money today/in a few days or this week at the latest? Do you know of any ways or have any videos on good ways to make money? I'm trying doordash but the only slots available are 12am-3am and I have read too many stories of people getting threatened or attacked at night from robbers or drunk/high people. I was able to have this weekend scheduled for a few hours though. I'm sincerely trying everything I can to make money and get a job. I am a hard worker and have had really good work relationships and reviews in my design work but just got myself in a real spot right now. Do you have any ideas of what I can do?
