As a freelancer, one of the most important things you can do is to keep your clients happy. One way to do this is to deliver your work on time and as agreed upon.
This is where setting milestones comes in.
In UpWork, a milestone is a way to mark a specific point in a project. It’s like a checkpoint that you and your client can both refer back to, to make sure that you’re both on the same page.
PRO TIP: When creating a milestone in Upwork, be sure to include all relevant information regarding the deliverables and deadlines for the project. Failure to do so could result in the milestone being rejected by the freelancer or client.
When setting up milestones, there are a few things you should keep in mind:
- Be clear and concise in your milestone titles. This will help you and your client keep track of what needs to be done.
- Include all relevant information. This means being clear about what the milestone entails, as well as when it’s due. If there are any special instructions, be sure to include those as well.
- Make sure you and your client are on the same page. Before setting up a milestone, be sure that you and your client have discussed it and come to an agreement. This will save you a lot of headaches down the road.
By following these simple tips will help you set up clear and effective milestones that will keep your clients happy and coming back for more!
