Is it ok to ask a client for 5 stars feedback on Upwork?

                                      <<<Upwork Top Secret>>>

                     No, it’s NOT OK! Why?

There’s more than one reason:

Reason #1

Just to be perfectly clear. It’s OK to REMIND a client to give you a review, after you delivered your work and got paid, but it’s not OK to ASK. Especially when it comes to five-star reviews.

This way, you’re sending the wrong message. With this request, you’re already qualifying your work as an excellent one which deserves a five-star review. Well, that’s a client’s prerogative.

If I have to ask a five-star then it means that I don’t deserve it. My reviews are the most important thing for me. All of them are authentic and well deserved. And, not all of them are five-star reviews. To be totally honest about it, I would be a bit suspicious about a freelancer who has the perfect score of 5.0 and only five-star reviews.

Reason #2

You should be aware that you request for a five-star review is something a client may use against you. Your client can inform Upwork support and the next thing you know, you’re in trouble because of your request, which can be qualified as unethical and a violation of Upwork’s Terms of Service.

Conclusion:

As a fellow freelancer, I understand that every single review matters, especially if it’s a five-star review. Without a five-star reputation, your chances of success are very slim.

So, don’t ask, but rather wait for your five-star feedback on Upwork. What good is it if you have to ask for it? Right?

5 biggest mistakes freelancers make

      "5 Biggest Mistakes Freelancers Make"

         1.Hoping to get clients.

    Most freelancers have no system to get clients. It’s like opening a lemonade stall in your kitchen and waiting for customers. If you aren’t regularly getting in newsfeeds, sending emails, then how will people know you exist? 

2.Too many or too few clients.

If you have too many clients then you get paid less. Simply because quality needs time. If you have too few clients, you won't make enough money. One solution is to have fewer clients but charge more.

3.Not saying ‘NO’ to bad customers.

 Not every paying customer is profitable. If a customer annoys you over a $2 lemonade, there is no point to sell him. Because he is losing you more money with bad reviews and increased stress.

4. Not hiring people. 

 You have limited work hours each day. There is a limit to clients you can take. When you are giving up clients because of time, you need to hire. You must build a team and teach them your ways.

5.Not investing in your skills.

When you decide not to invest money in books or coaches, you decide to lose. You can't win a race with an outdated car. You need new parts. Similarly, you can't compete with your outdated knowledge.
