Although I was a full-time freelancer on Upwork for 10 years and still have an open account, I largely work independently of Upwork as of July 2024. I work with clients using Zelle and/or PayPal Business instead. If you are an Upwork client who would prefer to stay on that platform, I would require a flat-rate contract with these milestones confirmed. If paid using Zelle, first half of deposit is due upfront. Contact Shamontiel for serious inquiries only.
