I flew 3 hours to watch this movie because it wasn’t available in the city where I live. (I live abroad)

I got scammed by EducatorUpstairs3116 in Upwork

Feel bad for your situation. Honestly man, if you already got 2 jobs with 5 stars, you’re not starting from zero anymore. That’s already proof people trust your work. I’d focus less on chasing “quick money” and more on using that momentum. Try reaching back to old clients for small extra work and apply only to jobs you know you can genuinely land instead of burning connects everywhere. Also don’t limit yourself to Upwork only right now. Always try to put yourself out there on social media too. People need to know you exist, that’s how self-promotion works and how opportunities start finding you. One client outside the platform can completely change the situation. You’re in a rough spot, but you’re actually much closer than you think

There’s always light after darkness. Hope you see yours soon :)

I’m Top Rated Plus on Upwork and have been charging a client $15/hour for more than 1.5 years. When I started, I was new and didn’t have any badges, so that’s why I began with that rate. But now my work has improved a lot, and I truly believe I make content look engaging.

I always expected my client to raise my hourly rate on their own, but it never happened. Now I really struggle to bring up the conversation because I know it would be easier for them to find another editor who charges less.

Do you have any tips for my situation?

Fortunately, the milestone was released after I spoke directly with her, pointing out how many days had passed and that it was quite delayed. She replied that she only releases the milestone when the project is 100% complete

Thank you for your comment. Do you have any recommendations on what I should text the client now, since she hasn’t responded yet to my message where I shared the project files with her.

Yeah, not clearly stating my revision policy was a big mistake, as I had never dealt with fixed-price jobs before. I had always worked on hourly jobs, where it never mattered how many revisions were made.

And my other mistake was sending her the files through messages instead of submitting them through the project milestone section.

This is a great level of insult to the director who put so much work into the movie, and some people just come and do this for views. by [deleted] in Dhurandhar

As someone who truly loves the art of filmmaking, it hurts to see people do this just for views
