As a freelancer, one of the best ways to get good feedback is to ask for it. But is this something that you can do on UpWork?
The short answer is yes, you can ask for feedback on UpWork. In fact, it’s a good idea to ask for feedback from your clients on a regular basis. Feedback can help you improve your work and attract more clients.
Here are a few tips for asking for feedback on UpWork:
1. Make it part of your contract
When you first start working with a client, make sure to include a clause in your contract that allows you to request feedback. This will make it easier to broach the subject later on.
2. Ask at the end of a project
When a project comes to an end, send your client a message asking for feedback. They’re likely to be feeling good about the work you’ve done and will be more receptive to giving feedback.
3. Be specific about what you want feedback on
When you ask for feedback, be specific about what you want to know. This will help your client focus their thoughts and give you more useful feedback. For example, instead of asking “What did you think of my work?”, try “What did you think of my use of imagery in the blog post?” or “How could I improve my communication with you?”.
4. Be open to criticism
When you receive feedback, try to be open-minded and accept criticism constructively. Remember that feedback is meant to help you improve, so don’t take it personally. If you need help understanding or responding to feedback, UpWork has a great article on how to do just that.
5. Follow up after making changes
If you make changes based on the feedback you received, follow up with your client afterwards and let them know what changes you made. This shows that you value their input and helps build trust between you and your client.
